Synopsis

Robert G Ingersoll wrote in the mid 1800's, "It is easy to follow the crowd, but it takes courage to doubt." It was this statement that inspired the title for this book because investigating the integrity of Christianity was contrary to everything I had been taught. Courage To Doubt is not intended as a negative attack on religion but rather a positive defence for a religion-free life. It is the kind of book I would like to have had when my faith came under the spotlight because it contains information from various disciplines that took many years to research individually. - Stephen J Hurlin 2009 "Courage to Doubt is a brave, eloquent and well-reasoned plea for the freedom of conscience and the drive for knowledge-real, testable, logical knowledge." - Dan Barker, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation Courage To Doubt starts with a chapter entitled, 'Journey to Freedom'. Originally written as an essay in September 1997, it has been adapted for this book as an account of the author's conversion from Christianity to atheism, his journey to intellectual freedom. Other chapters include: • Baloney Detection Kit: Train Your Brain. • Spot The False Argument: Train Your Brain More. • The Christian Argument, debunking the 3 pillars of faith. • Morality Without God • Moral Models In The Bible • The Godless Life
