"Like wind out of the west come I Sweep before me dust from the sky. No trumpets blowing only the truth recall, And from Heaven and Hell God will fall." -Thus exclaims the Preacher with No Name, one of the many unforgettable characters in this engaging collection of short stories. Incorporating material from his acclaimed technical works, Michael Martin demonstrates that well-reasoned skeptical positions don't need to be presented in dry, philosophical prose. Instead, this defense of atheism is written in the form of science fiction, historical fiction, and fantasy that will arouse, provoke, and inspire the reader.
Michael Martin's stories reveal the fallacies of traditional arguments for the existence of God and improbability of God's existence given the evil in the universe. Defending a secular approach to morality, they expose the difficulties of religion-based ethics and the social evils engineered by organized religions, in a way that will delight and entertain.
