Book Review: A Leter that Should Be Read
Summary: 4 Stars
Leahy offers a very logical and well researched book which attempts to expose the inconsistencies, contradictions and fallacies of Sam Harris and the other pugnacious public atheists. He does a very adequate job on the surface, but doesn't refute many of the underlying a priori assumptions which modern atheists take for granted.
Leahy supplies quotes that reveal many of Harris' goals are to remove the rights of religious people. He demonstrates that Harris, not only has positions which are contrary to the USA's Bill of Rights, but that he seeks to undermine some important rights of people of faith.
The author recounts history when it is favorable to the Christian position, but I would have preferred that he defeated the irrational pre-commitments that under gird an atheist's view of history and ethics. This book does provide evidence and arguments which make atheism improbable and illogical. I enjoyed reading it, nevertheless I would have received more intellectual ammunition if he argued that only Christianity furnishes the rational and moral pre-necessities that make proof and evidence possible.
