That is my point. Even you had to keep your faith while reading this book since it might be challenging to what you already believe. So, unless you have an open mind, for Christian devouts, it is better to avoid this bookDaisy Deeh wrote: ↑28 Dec 2020, 13:06 I think the book is suitable for anyone,its written based on catholic teachings. Read it with your faith high as i do not agree with some few things
Is this book equally suitable for anyone with any religious beliefs?

Although I havent read the book but the claims of presence of a Supreme being, being acceptable, is subjective. Because some people who do not believe in God or a Supreme being might still like the book and some may not. So it depends on the person reading the book.

That is correct. The ultimate decision will depend on the reader. Yet, I have issues with this book being suitable for all, when considering the author's preoccupied ideas and his biased thoughtsFahad Baibras wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 04:34Although I havent read the book but the claims of presence of a Supreme being, being acceptable, is subjective.

I definitely agree. I loved this book because it doesn't necessarily targeted a single religion. The author made use of philosophical and scientific approach to backed the arguments.Ruba Abu Ali wrote: ↑02 Dec 2020, 02:06 I think the scientific and philosophical approaches used in this book render it a suitable read for the various faiths.
As long as all the elements are tackled neutrally and respectfully, I see no reason why the author cannot touch upon such an interesting subject matter. I myself found it to be an intriguing read.

What you are mentioning is very interesting and I totally agree with you. There are many things that people can learn about religion even if they are not believers or if they identified themselves with a particular religious practice. So keeping an open mind can be very nurturing for people as long as nobody is trying to be offensive.Maddie Atkinson wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 18:02 I think it suits everyone, because if you're Catholic/Christian, it allows you to see a different point of view to your religion, and if you're not, it allows you to see the different sides and opinions in this religion from and outside perspective. I think when it comes to God in general, the ideas can be applied to all religion, it's just in this context it is being applied to Catholicism. So yeah, I think it is suitable for anyone, it's a very interesting read!
