Coming to terms with one's belief in regard to whether there is a God or not is often one of the most important journeys a person will ever go through during their life. I, like many other people, wanted to be as thorough as possible in my search. As such I've read many books from both the atheist and religious communities (atheists such as Dawkins and Harris to believers such as Collins and D'souza to name only a few). At the end of the day however Barker's work proved the most influential out of all the books and speeches/debates I've seen.Why? What makes Barker works so much more superior than his colleagues? What it really boils down to is that Barker is the most well rounded in his work. We're other authors peak high in particularly areas in their delivery, such as humor or science or argumention, Barker succeeds on all fronts. And he adds plenty of uniqueness as well. He's articulate, funny, intelligent, personal and more.In "Godless" you get it all. You get a entertaining yet personal tale of a person going from one extreme to the next (from Fundamentalist Preacher to Outspoken Atheist). The story is likely to relate to most people in someway or another. This is what part one, "Rejecting God" consist of.Part two, "Why I'm An Atheist", is where Barker addresses the arguments for and against the existence of god (leaving no stone unturned). The section, in part two, "Dear Theologian", was particularly entertaining and insightful. However I won't spoil what it's about here so you'll have to read it for yourself.In part three, "What's Wrong With Christianity", Barker uses all his experience as a preacher and from studying the word of god to point out, and address the concerns of Christians, what wrong with their religion in particular and why it's wrong. There is plenty of great reasoning and humor in this section.In part four, "Life Is Good", Barker brings everything together showing how he, and you to, can live your life to the fullest even after losing your faith. The section is also very personal as he details a very rough period in his life. There's also some great insight why so many people believe in God and more in this chapter.Coming to the book I thought I already knew it all (from my other readings) but boy was I wrong. Barker has plenty of unique and fresh moments while still articulating well popular arguments. As said before there's plenty of humorous along with more serious moments in this book. There's just so much packed in this book, but not too much, and Barker puts it all together so nicely and almost perfectly that for me at least I can't find any shortcomings in this book.For anyone soul searching for their beliefs I can't recommend this book enough. Even if your just casually reading it's still awesome. I feel christians will particularly find this book appealing as the author has them in particular in mind so their likely to be able to relate to him more than some of the other popular atheist authors.The book is also motivational. I found myself inspired and more appreciative of my life after reading this book. You know what they say you only live once!Because of the quality of this book I would say it alone is enough for most people. I would only venture off into other authors if your looking for more specific approach or area in regard to the god debate. For example if your more interested in the science side than Stenger (The God Hypothesis) and Dawkins (The God Delusion) are great. If your more on the philosophical side than Harris (End Of Faith) is your go to. If your all about humor than Hitchens (God Is Not Great). And so on and so on. Even if you read those you should still check out Barker's work because of its uniqueness and quality.For the most well rounded (good at everything), easy to read, brilliantly articulate and written piece, there's nothing better than Dan Barkers "Godless: How An Evangelical Preacher Became One Of America's Leading Atheist".5/5 Stars!
Dan Barker's story is important, I think. If you are reading books by Hitch, Dawkins and Harris your are getting three different perspectives of the god/faith/religion vs science/secularism argument. I have read all three of these authors, and all three offer unique logical, philosophical, and scientific approaches. The fourth valuable perspective (the personal) is provided in this book by Dan Barker.The first half of the book covers his years of ministry and his (once ignited) steady, gradual shift from religiosity to atheism. The second half is a more logical, and philosophical dismantling of religious belief. This book is very well-written and perfectly structured. It doesn't contain science, per se. But, science is not the only tool one may use to refute god. Logical thought will do quite nicely. Science may simply be the straw that breaks the camel's back.There are parts during which I thought he meandered a bit, or stayed too long targeting a particular belief. But, by reading his story I gained a better understanding of the mind and how it can be possible for even a fundamentalist to see the light. At some point in the book, I realized there's a way to read it which helps make it more meaningful and impactful. Instead of reading it critically (although this can still be done) as a simple argument against theism, one should read it as if you are inside the mind of Dan Barker, struggling to grasp the same contradictions with which he struggled.What you are seeing in print are the conscious thought processes of someone questioning lifelong-held, previously accepted (unquestioned) convictions. Read in this way, you are witnessing the transformation of Barker's mind. If you follow the transformation, you will see how it can be done. Unreason, faith, dogma are so damaging when they are allowed to spread through cultures unhindered. With just a little bit of resistance, mountains (of bulls***) can be moved.If you dismiss this book (this perspective) as unnecessary, or lacking because it doesn't have lots of science or because you think Barker lacks the credibility to stand amongst the aforementioned authors, you'd be missing the point. Those brilliant books are still on my shelf, and will probably be read again. But, so is Barker's book. Because, while it travels a different path, it ultimately leads to the same place.Remember what Tim Minchin says, "I only read one book, but it's a good book, don't you know. I act the way I act because the Good Book tells me so. If I wanna know how to be good, it's to the Good Book that I go. Cause the Good Book is a book and it is good and it's a book." A clearer perspective can be gained by reading many books on the same subject. Read one book, and you get but one.
This was a tremendous book. I consider myself a scientific atheist and not atheist because I disbelieve religion although I do disbelieve all religions. I am an atheist because of logic and proven scientific facts, concepts and theories. But Barker brings a whole new array of information from and about religions that proves the same thing and more. It is pretty powerful that he shows Jesus is not an historical figure as he or his miracles are not mentioned anywhere by historians that lived in the same cities at the same time as Jesus although the historians do mention all the other prophets that were popping up all over the area at the same time. Jesus is also not mentioned anywhere outside of the bible in any government or other historical document recorded. References to him don't appear for decades after his supposed crucifixion and then are doctored 400 years later to add concepts of miracles, resurrection, virgin birth, ascension, etc. to the myths in the bible.
