Summary

  • "God's existence is proven by scripture."
  • "There's no evidence that God doesn't exist."
  • "God has helped me so much. How could none of it be true?"
  • "Atheism has killed more people than religion, so it must be wrong!"

How many times have you heard arguments like these for why God exists?

Straight to the point

Very useful book that gets the point out logically and efficiently. I think the author's story is worth reading first and it might have been even better if the author had narrated.

Very pleased with content and narrator.

the simple arguments made were concise and very well laid out. this is a light hearted and logically flowing book. a pleasure to listen to the narration for me, i thought this was a good balance between informative and entertaining to hear such common fallasies obliterated so eloquently.. although for some readers it may appear self righteous, i thought it was fine. look forward to reading (or listening to) his other books.

Logical and humble, overall excellent.

Excellent use of logic arguments and identification of cognitive biases. I would class it as "philosophy" and not as "science", as it opens avenues for thinking and proposes hypotheses that need to be tested. Quite short and making me crave for more (and this is a good thing, I did not get bored at all) It thoroughly deserves the 5 stars.

speedy gongalez-no way!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes-if I knew they were an atheist like me.

What did you like best about this story?

The breakdown of the arguments.

Would you be willing to try another one of Dave Richards’s performances?

No way-I reduced the narrator speed on my Fire!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No-it benefits from contemplation and reflection not speed.

Any additional comments?

Like a previous reviewer wrote, this would have benefited with a slower reading!

A great introduction to the arguments against god.

I think this is a great book for those of use who know why we don't believe in god but are not very good at articulating it to people in discussions on the subject. It gives clear, concise answers and information which can be easily understood..

The only negative is that the narration was a bit rushed.

A common sense approach to the God hypothesis

This is filled with a common sense approach to the god question.

Very easy to listen to.

Highly recommend for those considering why it is that some people still believe in gods and for those theists who are trying to understand the considered position of atheism.

The author effectively succeeds in demonstrating why there are no good reasons to believe in gods.

Good Summay poor narration

If you could sum up Why There Is No God in three words, what would they be?

God exists in people's minds

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not relevant

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He went too fast, sounded like reaing the news - no time to digest what is said - a book like this should be at least 4 hours naration.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no

Any additional comments?

Good book - good summary and very wise reasoning and insights

Excellent narrative, Very detailed counter argumen

A very detailed battery of counter arguments against all the stereotypes believers throws at us Atheist. A full chapter dedicated to each of those arguments, developing counter arguments going from witty catching phrases or thoughts (quite useful for not in deep discussions) to a much more profound disassembling of those hackneyed concepts. Would and actually have already recommend to smart people interested in break through imposed absurd fairy tales

Looking forward to hearing more from the Author

For any Atheist looking for a good way to articulate your arguments then this book is for you. I'd advise Theists to read the book as well in order to understand the way in which Atheists think and how disbelief comes about. The narrator did a good job overall but sounded a bit too monotone for my liking.

Out you come (It's easier these days)

In earlier times, the realisation that you are an atheist was cause for some concern, but these days, with everything being so polar and equally divided, it's not such a big deal. For those who are embarking on the journey or 'coming out', this book is a ray of hope, to let you know you're not alone, and the questions you may have are not unheard-of.
