I've read it.
Basic premise is a good one but I think he gets kinda sidetracked from the original question to poking a stick at religion.
Which in itself is worth doing !
I mean more folk have been put to death because of belief or non belief in a religion than ever did because they said they believed in Christ !

@Summersrain I think anything that gets you examining what you THINK you know or just accept, is worthy of a read and debate.
I think when it comes to religious figures you have to ask WHY has the idea of this figure endured so long ?
Is this likely to be anywhere NEAR a factual; historical account. Or is what you THINK you know just propaganda from somebody/some church in order to control people ?

@Picklebobble2 the bible tells you to be like a sheep and just follow and not think for yourself. I think this is mind control

@Summersrain Which some will translate as 'Do what those leading you in your faith tell you to do'.
Then you get into a lot of human history from the Crusades on !

@Summersrain 'Believe what we say or suffer the consequences of our belief!'
