Summary: The origin of female subservience
Comment: The Born Again Skeptic's Guide to the Bible by Ruth Hurmence Green is a "must read" for every woman who has ever wondered who decided that females were second class creatures. Chapter 7 of Green's book, "Treatment of Women in the Sweetest Story Ever Told" will leave no doubt that the Bible is the source and promoter of many woes of women. Females are not only owned by the men, but are unclean and untouchable. Chapter 9 is also enlightening: "Preposterous Passages from the Pages of the Holy Book." Green begins with this epigram: Although God creates the Universe in six days out of nothing, he needs dust to make a mere man and one of Adam's ribs to fashion woman. If the Bible were not so frightening, it would be terribly funny. Green's book is both didactic and entertaining.

Summary: Ruth Green wrote a fine incitful book on the Bible.
Comment: It is rare that we find balance in this country on the topic of religion. Ruth Green takes nothing our of context (I checked dozens of times) and she is always accurate. I found that God ordained polygamy as proper, slavery as just fine, and instituted the "divine" right of kings. Horror and heartlessness is the true basis of the Bible. For example in 2 Kings 2 in the 20's God orders the killing of 42 children because they acted like kids!! This is just 1 example of irrational rage demonstrated by the "Lord God of the Universe."
After reading this work I felt empowered to "corner a parson" and demand to know what's going on here. How come they never read this to their congregants from the pulpit. Anyone who reads this work will start thinking for themselves if they have the capacity to begin with.

Summary: Waste of time
Comment: A lot of out of context quotes and mischaracterizations, mixed with a lot of bitterness. Won't convince a believer. Won't provide decent ammunition to skeptics. Much of it is so laughable that anyone who has read the Bible can point out its flaws. Some will find comfort chuckling to themselves about how evil Christians are (skeptics throughout history have never owned slaves, raped women, wiped out nations). If this book was written about Islam, no doubt it would be classed as it should be - as a hate tract. Atheist missionaries should easily be able to find better texts for their preaching.
