Official Review: The Seduction of Religion by Paul Singh

[BookW0rM1]

It's nice to have a book that x-rays the most important institution (religion) in our world today... Like it is said, only a fool says there is no God. So thumbs up to Paul Singh.

Lovely review
I don't think I would read this book but not because of the review, but because of my personal preferences.

That's understandable. Thank you for the comment.

Such a comprehensive survey of so many world religions does sound fascinating. I get the impression that the tone of the book is not complimentary about religion, but thought-provoking nonetheless. I'd be interested to read this when I get time.

You got it right. I hope you get a chance to read it.

This is an excellent review of a book that certainly sounds thought-provoking, and I would like to read it if I get the chance (though it may not be my choice of holiday reading ) Though I am a person of faith, I am liberal in my own beliefs, and always open to information and insights on both other religions and denominations and secular philosophies. Just one comment - you said you were disturbed by the things the book mentioned about Islam - I wonder if the writer maybe concentrated too much on the extremists - easy to do in today's climate. Re women, my GP (doctor) is a Muslim woman, and though she does wear a headscarf (never a veil) she is most definitely a liberated woman!

Maybe you are right about the author concentrating on Islam extremists, but then again, he does to all other religions discussed.

Very good review. It sounds like an interesting read especially regards knowing more about other religious beliefs than my own.

Thank you. Interesting, indeed.

I think that this book would be interesting to read. I have been looking at difference religions and ideologies for decades and I never get tired of comparing and contrasting these different ways of belief. The topic is relevant since the better you understand the difference between religions that provide meaning with cults that are only designed for exploitation, the less likely you would be seduced into an undesirable person/idea complex. Thank you for the review.

From the review of this book I see a clear X Ray of the various religious institutions, something every open minded person deep in religious issues will be interested in
