FIRST CUMBAX, ISBN: 1-4276-0101-1 Published under the auspices of Aardvark Global Publishing, LLC in Dickson, TN USA. Watch for SECOND CUMBAX, a deeper adventure into the mysteries of metaphysical myths. ANNOUNCEMENT

You have known of it as a web page, right?— a web page with disgusting omissions that tries to entice you to buy a book. All the religious claims are listed on that page, and a few of the responses. The rest are promised to those who buy the book. Why is that?

This website has existed for several years, under various names and on a variety of servers, always at its author's expense. The few book sales that result on amazon.com come nowhere near to paying all the expenses, this author has retired and, as a result, his income has dwindled to a small fraction of what it had been. How to keep up with it all and still make knowledge and uniquely secular ideas available to inquisitive, adventurous minds? I have more time; I have less money. Should I offer my services to WalMart or Home Depot and turn my back on this, or write a one-of-a-kind book and offer it for sale?

Well, here is your answer as I perceived it. You know what Xian CumBax is about (you saw the web pages devoted to it)(if you haven't, click on this link). The 110 common religious claims presented in the book most generally each have more than one response, and many of them can be answered in several ways and, so, many responses are listed. The book remains faithful to the web pages so that a CumBax mentioned by someone can be looked up according to its numbered location. CumBax 21:1, for example, refers to the first response to the twenty-first religious claim. Try it, here: CumBax 21:1 and learn the answer to why you are so angry at God.

Its not really because you bought the book, of course. If you bought the book, you'd know the right answer. If you send an email in response to that question as posed by some writer, you would probably refer your recipient to answer number two by using this format: http://www.lloydwhitling.com/debunking/cumbax.html#21 and tell your recipient CumBax 21:2 in the best of biblical traditions.

Now, why would anybody want that kind of information in a book?— and why would anybody ever want to send that kind of a message?

Sure, it's easy to think up reasons for why atheists might be interested in doing that, but why would a good, humble moderate Christian whose main interests in life are best pursued while minding his or her own business?

Well, this might surprise you, but there are a lot of reasons. First of all, atheists are not too often the warriors that certain kinds of people make them out to be. Maybe you know of one or two who, for so long as you don't prod them, seem like decent and law-abiding folks who are easy to get along with. Many atheists, of those who have bothered to actually study their own worldviews, have discovered the secular connections we secretly share with the religious (we won't tell if you won't), and realize your way of interpreting them is different from our own only as a matter of perceptions. Most atheists are people who you wouldn't recognize as such. Many atheists consider themselves agnostics, uncommitted fence-sitters who avoid discussing anything about it, and may even attend church on a regular basis "because it's good for business, or looks good, or so other people will stop bothering them about it." You would look at such a book out of curiosity, mainly because it's a quick read that's not too demanding of you, but still quite stimulating.

Or, maybe you find it interesting to discover we can't be angry at a god we don't believe in. You couldn't know that until somebody informed you. Nobody at church has ever told you that. What you have always been told would never lead you to suspect what an atheist might have to say about it. That's a fact. That fact applies to most of the 110 Christian claims for which responses have been compiled.

Oh, but you're not a Christian, but consider yourself atheist or agnostic. Well, the whole scene changes for you, because the book is a compilation of a wealth of explanations for the secular (natural) view of human existence. Sure, you know full well why you do not share belief with the majority of people who surround you every day, but do you know what to say to that aggressive individual who insists on his right to confront you walking along the sidewalk, who suddenly appears on your front porch before you had time to escape, or who writes a nasty letter to the editor of your local newspaper that upset you enough to make you want to respond?

Most Christian folks are tolerable. They'll leave you alone once they find out you're not interested. They might even sympathize with your position in certain matters, and understand why you might wish the guy on the sidewalk or your front porch would just go away. For those characters, the book wields the power of ready answers that apply to most of what they'll confront you with. "Look!" you can say. "Right here in CumBax 21:1, it says I'm not angry at God because I don't believe in God, and so I would have to be making myself angry about nothing."

Now you can refer to something the same way they do, and tell them they should be reading it just like you do, until they have it memorized. Does it really say that in CumBax 21:1? I guess you'll just have to get yourself a copy and find out. Right? No?

There are a multitude of reasons for atheism. Too few people know about any. This book is filled with more than a hundred of those reasons. Whether atheist or believer, secular or agnostic, buy it if you truly care about the truth.

"To deny a right to the experience of pleasure is immoral unless that denial can be justified by a valid presentation of how pain will result from that experience in an amount that would render the expected pleasure regrettable; or, if it can be shown that pain will be induced in others innocent of any involvement. The role of science in moral issues should be to test that, predict that, and find harmless ways to demonstrate that."
