Book Reviews of The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life
Book Review: The Question is the Title
Summary: 2 Stars
This book promises a balanced and even discussion based on the views of Freud and Lewis. What it actually delivers is an interesting double biography with very little to do with "The Question of God". About two thirds of the book are dedicated to Lewis, who is a model Christian converted from atheism and released from its depressing world view, the rest takes Freud who (based on the evidence in the book) is a severely depressed, coke addicted, atheist who blames his depression on his world view. Can you see where this is heading? Freud is often mis-interpreted or just plain ignored. I'd put a lot of money on the author having a devout faith in god.
The basic pretext of the book is that people who have a faith in God are generally happier as opposed to atheists. This is possibly true, but what does that say about the existence of God? Actually nothing, just because one path is easier to take than the other doesn't meant its correct one to.
I could go on for days because this book annoyed me so much and I'm a Christian.
