I also found that some of what passes for apologetic (ie regarding the defense of the faith) literature in Christian circles is often directed more at telling Christians why they should believe rather than directly answering non-Christians. I guess one of the reasons I’m reading this book is that I suddenly realised in the last couple of months, that I didn’t have answers to a lot of my own questions about the truth (or otherwise) of Christianity, and certainly not enough to answer other people’s questions. I was unable to get hold of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion when I went to the library, but Michel Onfray’s book was there, so that seemed as good a place as any to start. I decided to tackle this book, as part of my recent exploration into the world of Christianity vs Atheism. This book, on the other hand, is quite a different matter. Both of them were very enjoyable, which is probably enough of a review. On CD, Canteloube’s Songs of the Auvergne, sung by Victoria de los Angeles for one, and, at the movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There were a few things to choose from to post on this week. Apologies that this didn’t go up on the weekend – I was a bit busy, and didn’t get a chance to post.
