I respect the other because of this so-called"betrayal." He has really laid his thoughts out in this book, no matter the consequences, and I appreciate that.

I believe religion is important for the author. He challenges the facts as related in the Bible and he takes a lot of effort to prove the Bible wrong. My feeling is that at the end of his quest he might find that he was wrong. At least I hope he will.

That's interesting. I call it as I see it. I have nothing against the Bible. I love Zechariah. I just have a problem with the alternative facts in the other Testament.

I would be truly astonished to find out that the author is a Christian but at the same time not really. Maybe he is/was and had some questions which led to him doing research and coming up with this book?

I'm not what you would think is a Christian, but my beliefs would be considered as correct if people considered them without preconception. The true teachings are the gnostic ones, but they are so thoroughly overwritten in the Gospels as to be unrecognizable. People should just stay away from the New Testament. No one is qualified to understand it who does not have a complete grasp of mysticism.

A Christian who is brave enough to question tne intrigiuing aspects of Christianity and religion. He wants to encourage a discussion on certain provisions of the bible.

The author is not a Christian,he is too bold for that. Imagine how the members of his church would criticize him for his writing.

I've often thought about how I might be received as a guest lecturer. With much skepticism, I suspect.

I liked how the author was not afraid of popular opinion and voiced his views. He certainly has a lot of courage.

I don't think his religion is what that really matters here, I think all he wanted is to put his points about religion comparing them with other's beliefs.
