I just finished Alan's book, "An Atheist Reads the Torah", and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. In fact, I read it in two long sittings. It was fascinating to read the diversity of psychosis exhibited by "God" throughout. No doubt, the Torah might have made more sense way back during the bloodier and less educated time period of its various authors, but not so much now... without a lot of spin to make it relevent for today's times. He makes his points clearly and it is refreshing to see all the worst traits of "Lord" laid bare (well maybe not so good).
