I'll give you my word to read a book you recommend, if you give me your word to read a book I recommend. And we'll email in a month to confirm. Serious philosophy, not pansy cr*p. I'll choose the winner based on the book you'll tell me to read. (I'll make you read Hans Kung's "Does God Exist?")

When you believe in religion, you are too far gone to see the truth, so why bother telling you. You have to wake up on your own, I can not do it. God does not exist. You can not prove otherwise. No matter what facts I give you, you will not understand. If you are open minded read a few science books, and you may realize that god is a myth.

I dont consider myself an Athiest as i dont believe in God or no god as the athiest does i would classify myself as a 'agnostic' i believe in a spritual higher power, not the man made belief of the bible which has changed words and writers and religions... but i take you up on your challenge and will read the book if you would read David Icke 'The Biggest Secret'.

Chester Bedell was an aggressive and unrepentant atheist who challenged God to prove His existence. On his deathbed he asked that his grave be infested with snakes if God were real. As you may have guessed, gravediggers had trouble burying Chester because of the unusual number of snakes. Now they crawl in and out, around his tombstone and underneath it, a living demonstration of how wrong Chester apparently was. His cursed grave is in a small cemetery off SR 14.

I'd actually recommend a web site. Read the bible with the anotations shown in www.skepticsannotatedbible.com. I truly think most Christians fail to read the whole bible, and/or choose to selectively ignore the hypocrisy, intolerance, violence, or silliness the bible frequently asks it's readers to engage in.
Remember - this is your challenge. As an atheist, I'm content to let you believe what you will. As you will see if you read the site, your Christian bible preaches that you should be intolerant to me. So I present myself as a chance for you to live up to your own scripture. Teach me the intolerance of your faith. I accept your challenge, if you dare.

There are very many convincing books about God. The very best I have read is "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" Hans Kung's book is very powerful. .

Most atheists have read many religious books including the Bible, and I don't think too many want to waste their time reading yet another futile attempt to rationalize some crazy religion.
As to which book you should read, how about the Bible, but this time read it with an open mind and don't pass lightly over the contradictions, obvious lies and tales of phantasy.

No. I don't accept the challenge because I'm tired of the Bible.
I will recommended Don Quixote or maybe a more recent one:
The Geography of Nowhere by James Howard Kunstler.

I'd make you read "What Anglicans Believe in the 21st Century" by David L. Edwards not because he promotes atheism, but because he ACCEPTS atheism and strips away and war-loving, death-loving, superstitious cr*p from Christianity as the Satanism that it really is.

You are going to have a lot of books to read. otherwise i would reccomend one too. I'm not an athiest but it would have been interesting. BTW, who ever reccomended david Icke should know he is a plagiarist and possibly a racist. None of his ideas are his. he just plundered old nazi mystic stuff and other fringe white supremecist material and modernized it
