Incendiary in its passion and irrefutable in its evidence, this classic of atheistic literature condemns Christianity as superstition and wishful thinking rooted in early paganism, "sourced" by anonymous fables, and promoted by self-serving men seeking "worldly riches and power." Raging against the blatant manipulations of the early Church and the antiscience agenda of the modern Church, American writer JOSEPH WHELESS (1868-1950) takes on everything from faked "relics" and the "holy mummery" of Incendiary in its passion and irrefutable in its evidence, this classic of atheistic literature condemns Christianity as superstition and wishful thinking rooted in early paganism, "sourced" by anonymous fables, and promoted by self-serving men seeking "worldly riches and power." Raging against the blatant manipulations of the early Church and the antiscience agenda of the modern Church, American writer JOSEPH WHELESS (1868-1950) takes on everything from faked "relics" and the "holy mummery" of stigmatics and other dramatic mystics to the "priestly terrorism" of the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Church's historical intolerance. This is an absolute must-read for anyone looking for ammunition to counter the argument that the longevity of Christianity is evidence of its legitimacy.

Knopf. Dedicated, in grateful appreciation to Henry L. Mencken, Dean of American Letters and Critics, Theologian Emeritus of a Treatise on the Gods. (from the dedication page) This title is Wheless' second, and in all probability these two books form the most biting and vituperative attack on Christianity ever made by an American writer! Wheless's (1868-1950) two books of freethought demonstrated immense scholarship, and he frequently engaged in brilliant satire, but found it difficult to secure a "respectable" publisher for his books because he'd chosen to single out the most sensitive of religious beliefs in his combative style. His books expose the textual inconsistencies, contradictions, discrepancies, anachronisms, forgeries, and mythical content of the Bible. He was a judge and a specialist in Latin American law, as well as an active supporter of the freethought movement. From the library of Dr. Lyn Sanny. Stein no. 2691.<
