Hi there.. Allow me start off with the [slightly boring, but necessary] Product Description: "In the beginning, the Bible triggered a revolution in human thought and later established Western civilization's moral and philosophical foundation. Many people though - from authors to pundits - mock it for their own purposes and political agendas. However, the Bible remains the bestselling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion people (Christians and Jews) to be divinely inspired. In his hard-hitting new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to The Bible, author Robert J. Hutchinson details the facts behind the numerous truths the anti-religious secularists don't want you to know about, including: *Recent archaeological discoveries confirm the historical accuracy of many Bible stories. *The Bible made modern science possible (which is why it started in the Middle Ages). *Biblical laws paved the way for democracy and limited government. *The Bible promotes human freedom. *The enemies of the Bible are enemies of true reason and tolerance. In this new installment in the bestselling P.I.G. series, Hutchinson silences both the secularists and atheists with historical evidence, undeniable facts, and insightful revelations - proving why the Bible is still the bestselling book of all time - and so much more [plus it also deals with the opposite: the religious sectarians]. About the Author: Robert J. Hutchinson, a veteran religion writer, studied philosophy as an undergraduate, moved to Israel to study Hebrew, and earned an M.A. in biblical studies from Fuller Theological Seminary." Well, I've found this audio-book, and.. well.. It's waaaaay beyond "well worth listening".. But don't take my word for it. These are clippings from reviews on Amazon: "The Bible is the most mis-quoted book in the world by Religious fanatics and also Atheists. In his book Richard Dawkins talks about a God that demands human sacrifices , tolerates slavery and is cruel beyond belief. However most people who make statements like that show a serious lack of knowledge about the Bible as they interpret it outside its original context." "The chapters on the archaeological discoveries, Sodom and slavery are particularly interesting and relevant. I was most impressed with this book and will recommend it to anyone... " And another one: "This book should be required reading, for both Christians.. ..and for Atheists.." "Christianity offers hope, because God values each individual. Atheism offers only despair; nothing matters because people are only a mistake of biology, just a random result of evolution." "Fortunately, we all have the ability to make our own decisions. If Christianity isn't true, then it does not matter. If it is true, then it is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS." Sooo... I've listened to these mp3s and that is indeed the reason why I am putting them up for download. This guy really has got his memory and synapses connecting the dots in the right places.. If Dawkins is a genius, then he is a evil genius. If Hutchinson could be described as a genius, he sure would fit the best possible interpretation.. If someone still remember what that means.. Oh, yes. I almost forgot: It's properly tagged and all mp3s are in one folder, so you won't have to "change album" on your mp3 and such. It's orderly tagged, and even has album art.. Enjoy. Please do enjoy.. :-) Love from Verifire.

Religion is fail. It's an archaic belief.
You can't argue with the geniuses of our time modern technology.
Religion believed the world was just a few thousand years old. Carbon dating and geology has smashed that to pieces.
They thought the Earth was flat, guess who was right there?
They thought the heart was the center of emotion (because emotions seem to cause pains in your chest) scientists believed the brain was the center. (because they had dissected dead bodies and studied both the heart and brain)
Religion (and everybody in general) believed that flies came from rotting meat (because wherever there was rotting meat there were flies) a scientist proved otherwise through an experiment so simple a 10 year old could have done it.
Listen to us and do what we say or burn in hell for eternity doesn't sound like encouraging freedom.
Science is logic and reason, religion is stubbornness and faith.
Maybe when there are actually some seeders for this I will dl simply so I can make more fun of religion.

One shouldn't be surpriced that the facts listed in this book is carefully chosen. Interesting enough there are other scientists that have a lot of other sorts of facts they want to tell us about.
Why not read some books of Bart D. Ehrman, born in a christian family, still an active christian? He is also a respected scientist. "Jesus interrupted" is the one book that I find especially interesting. I won't tell you what it says. If you want to know, you will be able to find out. If you don't won't to know, I will not be able to make you.
A few words about me. Please not believe that I am a atheist. I am indeed not. Neither do I hate christians. I find it to be very important though that the truth be known - All the truth and not only the convenient parts!

Thanks m8! Keep it up!
Hmmm...religious people arguing about support for an ancient storybook?
Now there's irony for you.
Religious 'fools' make me mad and as long as they are allowed to spout their stories as 'truth' I shall be fighting them...
Have you actually read all of that book? Though not.

If you believe that Noah's Ark happened, or that a snake can talk, or that a man can kill a thousand men with a donkey's jawbone,etc, YOU ARE INSANE.

Nothing in it for you?
well if that were true ALL Christians could say it couldn't they?
As we know however, it is far from true in most cases.
How about smug self satisfaction?
Ego stroking?
Superiority complex?
I think most evangelicals/preachers do it because it makes THEM feel good about themselves in the world.
Yes, you do not earn anything monetarily from posting religion all over the internet in torrents but you feel you are doing gods work, doing good, for the good of the nation, for the good of the world.
well let me tell you something: You're not.
Stop patting yourself on the back and have a fucking reality check.

It should really just say "incorrect guide to the bible". The claims made are nothing short of ridiculous.
some noted atheists acknowledge some of the historical locations in the bible. it still does not mean that everything written in the bible is true. also, you don't need to have some sort of divine inspiration to know that killing another person is wrong. you see back in those days when people lived in small groups and communities where everyone worked to the common good of everyone, killing someone for no reason other than self defense HURT the survival of community.
and it also seems to me that in the united states, the ones who defend the bible are also the most intolerant and repressive people i can imagine.
i did a bit of google searching about this title. the conservatives love it. that's all i needed to know about it.

you seem awfully gung-ho about defending this book. i believe that says more about you than it does about this book.
it's nice that you check out the works of noted atheists, however my main point of contention is simply this- there have been historians and scholars who disclaim the bible even though there are some historic places that have been found to actually exist. the reasons for that have never been based on reasons of proven fact. your defensive claims are coming off as very petty and also logically false. from reading what you are saying here and what this book claims:
place exists in bible
jesus exists in bible
jesus performed miracles in bible
place in bible discovered by historians
therefore because place actually existed, every claim made in the bible is true.
it completely ignores the WHY of why these people criticize the bible, its claims don't follow the scientific method and the people defending it don't use the SM in making their case. they also very rarely use second and third seperate sources in defense. they only use one source, a book written by men and whose seperate books were VOTED upon and included and excluded for political means. which is why it is probably such a big hit in conservative circles. they don't like implementing the scientific method either. they also tend to not use second or third outside sources and do things for political means instead of the betterment of everyone.

Excellent audio book.
Every Christian should listen to it to better understand the validity of their faith.

After reading many of the opinions of the Bible hating "enlightened fools" above, I can say the Bible stands vindicated especially Matthew 7:13-14
I love how atheists hide behind things like "science is truth". well unfortunately the science in the text books is not always accurate or true. in addition it is sometimes a complete lie. moreover any science that may contradict evolution is often left out of textbooks completely. There is a movement in the scientific community to hide anything that discredits evolution. Lets look at some facts...
evolutionists tell you that DNA mutates and we have these improvements in Biological functions.
the FACT is there has never been a mutation observed that was not harmful to a biological process or function.
Now ask yourself these questions...
How did natural selection develop (over millions of years) ears to hear with when life did not and could not know sound existed?
How did natural selection produce eyes when it could NOT know light existed?
How can the first Male and female sex organs develop in two different organisms at the same time AND work together for the first ever mating process? you want me to believe two similar organism just happened to evolve with two different sex organs that just happen to work together to create off spring?
Now I ask, who is really spreading ferry tales...
God Bless you all, I could go on for hours but atheists are not worth the time.
Jesus says dont throw pearls to pigs... so dont wast time with atheists

Ugh, more nonsense and drivel. It never ceases to amaze me how deeply these religious nuts can bury their heads in the sand of cherry-picked self-affirmation. A little intellectual honesty goes a long a way in separating out wishful thinking from what can actually be demonstrated as reality. And in a world where the benefits and honesty of secularism are becoming more and more numerous, more and more apparent, the sheer silliness of these nonsensical religious beliefs also becomes more and more apparent. Thank goodness we are now living in a time when people can point out how ludicrous these myths are without being burned at the stake. No wonder religious adherents are in such a panicked frenzy to make sure the masses keep believing in their nonsense.
Anyway, I say to those who pathetically still try to promote religion: keep peddling your hot air. I hope more and more people _do_ read the bible itself, as well as these loony-toons books talking about its truth and inerrancy. For any thoughtful person who values truth over wishful thinking, the conclusion is easily reached that the bible is merely the mildly poetic myths of bronze-age goat-herders. For anyone who wants to see why posting these religious texts online will hasten their demise, search for Thunderfoot's great (semi-viral) video called "The Internet: Where religions come to die."
