Normally, I'm not one to nit-pick about such things, since the exploration of ethicism is an important and interesting philosophical task but, again, this book went in so many different directions with it that it was difficult to keep up. There was also a problem with the moral and ethical position presented by the book. It seems that the authors of this book had a need for an epic beyond epics, and several bodycounts beyond the capability of a pre-modern war. It also fell into a similar trap to the somewhat similar 'Da Vinci Code', in that it utilized a lot of poorly-researched materials and claimed them as fact.Ī lot of the data matched up poorly with other historical accounts, especially when it came to numerical data. It see I usually like historical fiction, but this particular example has been so mitigated by the poorly-hidden didactic tautology of its too-many-cooks legion of anonymous authors and editors that it was rather difficult to enjoy.

It's that combination of persecution and youth that makes people say ignorant things.Īnd yes, we ARE persecuted. I was once a young, bitter atheist like the people writing those comments, and I know the place where it comes from. In fact, I like the majority of you individually, but as a group, you discriminate against people of other faiths or of no faith wherever you're the majority religion. I'm not a child, you don't have to remind me. All I ask is that you do the same thing in return.

I don't judge people based on their metaphysical positions. I am not a pushy atheist, in fact I'm pretty indifferent about it, but all I have to do is identify with that "a" word and people react like I just said I'm a child molester or a terrorist or something.
