I would say believers can choose to read it without judging the author for his opinions and questioning their own faith. Plus, the book has parts that also provide useful information on personal well-being and that should be beneficial for everyone. I think we can read or learn about something and agree to disagree. Of course, if the thought of reading this makes someone uncomfortable, then I don't think they should risk their peace of mind for reading this.

That's very well-expressed, and I agree. The multiple reviews and sample I read confirmed that it was one I didn't care to explore for the same reasons you mentioned.ElizaBeth Adams wrote: ↑09 Apr 2019, 08:17 I believe in God and I believe that the Bible is his love letter to mankind. I chose not to read this book not because I have any qualms about reading something that might shake my faith or even help me grow as a person, but because I am secure enough in my faith that I don't need to explore alternatives. Thanks for your very good question.
