Why all reviews shown are negative
Customer Rating:
One good review for the Bible, the rest anti-Christian rants. There are a vast majority of 5 star ratings, but all of reviews shown are obviously hate-speak.
Really?
Customer Rating:
How can anyone be expected to get into this book? I've heard how great it was from friends but its just so unbelieveable that its hard to get into the story. I mean, Harry Potter was more realistic and believable then this. I hated Harry Potter. Shame people are in love with such poor fiction writing.
Best book on the planet!!!!!
Customer Rating:
Judging from the response to this book written so far, it must be true! It said there would come scoffers in the last days according to 2 Pet 3:3 denying the Father and the Son. It must be true because no other book on the planet has been dead on in predicting what the future would bring. It must be true because there is so much anger in these reviews that it must have touched a nerve when it spoke of sin and such. I guess the Atheists have learned how to be militant from the Sodomites who have been so successful in trying to overthrow our country, or maybe they are the same group?
Maybe if they should remember the admonition that men will stand judgement for every idle word that proceeds from their mouths? It will be interesting to see what they will have to say one day when they stand before God and have to answer for all those words they have written here, when they stand before the very One who shed His blood for them. I bet all the mocking and scoffing will not be on their lips at that time.
We should pray that God will grant them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth (2Ti 2:25) before it is too late for them.
Tremendous source of fuel
Customer Rating:
Perfect for the woodburning stove in your winter cottage.
Don't have a winter cottage? You do now! Build it out of these books! One layer of book, one layer of mud; one layer of book, one layer of mud, etc.
Don't have the book? The Gideons will leave their version around for you for NOTHING.
Seriously. Go and turn this book into something USEFUL, because what's between the covers is awfully misleading, contradictory, and appealing to people who think like children.
Bloodier than Freddy vs. Jason vs. Chuckie...all wrapped up in one book!
Customer Rating:
This is the epic story of a bumbling demiurge that just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to fixing his own vast comedy of errors. The book's protagonist is introduced quite expeditiously by the authors. Within the first few pages, he is masterfully portrayed as a jealous, merciless, bloodthirsty egomaniac. His twisted and sadistic narcissism is generously peppered throughout the story; he suffers from seemingly random fits of depravity and rage that result in mass genocide, misogyny, rape, incest, torture, human sacrifice, and gruesome dismemberment.
At the onset of the story, he creates a beautiful planet, which he almost immediately allows to become tainted with evil, suffering, and death. He decides to try his hand at creating beings with free will, who quickly turn around and reject him. He punishes the evildoers and the wicked, but this miserably fails at thwarting the spread of evil. The planet soon becomes so corrupted and polluted that he must drown nearly every life form on the planet, including women, children and infants. After the waters subsided, the patriarch of the remaining survivors promptly got drunk, then passed out naked inside his tent.
Though this global flood had been sent to eradicate evil, it utterly failed to do so. The remaining survivors and their descendants spread throughout the land, and within a matter of years, forgot entirely about god, becoming just as wicked as the people that god had earlier drowned.
He then arbitrarily adopts a tribe of goat herders as his "people" and persistently attempts to redeem them from their fallen grace. He somehow forgets about his promise to protect his "people", and they are almost immediately enslaved by the Egyptians. Over hundreds of years, the majority of these people were born as slaves, and also died as such, waiting for a deliverance that was little more than a lie. Our protagonist never even explains why he allowed this to happen. Before he finally does decide to free his people, he deliberately coerces the leader of Egypt to refuse the Israelites' pleas for freedom by "hardening his heart". Following numerous pestilences and the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent firstborn Egyptian children, god finally frees his people...and immediately strands them in a desert for four decades.
During this time, he burdens them with an exhaustive list of tenuous rules: What kind of clothes to wear, what kind of food/meat they were allowed to eat, how to sacrifice animals to him, what days they were allowed to work, instructions on mutilating their genitals for him, etc. He addresses those who contravene his arbitrary rules by exploding into tantrums, killing not just the offender, but frequently scores of innocent people around him. At one point, god deliberately allows his arch-nemesis to mercilessly torment one of his most devout followers, simply to win a bet and satisfy his own bottomless ego.
His flamboyant final attempt to save the world from its transgressions was to impregnate a Jewish teenager with himself so he could sacrifice himself to himself in order to sit beside himself in order to save the world from himself because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat fruit from a magical tree. After waking up from the dead, god promises to return to earth before his newly assembled fan club dies out. He utterly fails to do this, so they create a new religion called Christianity, and the church that was formed almost immediately splintered into several squabbling sects because they could not agree as to what their god wanted.
At this point, God could have simply straightened this mess up by telling his followers what he wanted. True to form, he fails to do so; in fact, he decides to completely stop talking to his people.
Ultimately, our main character's promise to return to earth so he can ultimately straighten up humankind has proven to be empty. But when he does, he's going to throw a temper tantrum to end all tantrums and kill the vast majority of people on the planet (again). Unfortunately, this time around, the people wont really be dead because their souls will be undergoing eternal torment in hell.
Overall, the story itself is a contradictory, disjointed, and overall incoherent work. But if you enjoy slasher flicks (and don't mind a similarly thin plot), it's worth two bloody thumbs up.
