Weak arguments
By Amdonewiththis
Weak arguments. The Bible verses he quoted were taken out of context. I can tell he never read a Bible before.
Good summary
By MarkBowen303
I appreciate this listing of the arguments Russel had seen.
A decent survey
By Dobv_123
This short essay provides a wide array of arguments against Christianity, and each one of them merits serious discussion. The gravest errors the author makes is that he assumes the discourse has stopped, and tackles many arguments at their inception in the early days of the church. Addressing an argument at its strongest, and addressing an argument at its most popular are two very different things.
Not a good place to stop, but a good place to start. Pick a topic that was most impactful to you and find out what people are saying about it today.
Not that impressed
By Al Stewart
While he makes the best arguments against a supreme being, early on in the book, it’s clear as you read in that he is a bitter, angry man. Perhaps this is why he died so empty and helpless.
I can’t say it better than Russell
By Tew312
Excellent arguments by a very wise man. I can only hope that his words are heeded by the Young before their minds and hearts are warped and damaged by the Fears of their Elders.
What I expected
By Audiyo82
I thought it was a good speech. Obviously Christians, and other worshippers of God, may not think so, but there is a lot of truth in the words of this transcript, the history of our species, that would make a stranger of religion ask “why?”
Why I’m not or why IM NOT PERSUADED
By pvrmgr
Some good points. Again use of hyperbole is too much in my reading. His rebuttals for all but the last two topics were somewhat vague maybe nebulous. He did have some good thought generators regarding Jesus. However he came across more of I’m not persuaded rather than simply a hard I’m not.
Anthropocism
By daylasims
Humans are the center and the highest order of intelligence. Those not human like us, do not have to be treated humanely or justly. Excellent overall picture of why we have religion.
Sublime. Must-Read.
By vai.thoughts
Everything a sceptic needs to finally break free from the chains of religion.

He’s based, but kinda a dumb dumb on certain opinions.
