The Bible of BiblesThere isn't just one Bible: there are many sacred books to be found all over the globe that claim to be the word of God, that purport to offer the only true path to eternal life, and that name all disbelievers in them as infidels. But they can't all be right, and in this foundational work of modern atheism, American spiritualist KERSEY GRAVES (1813-1883) lays out, in clear, concise, often mocking terms, the basis for denying the divine inspiration of all of them. Discover. . seven obscure Oriental Bibles . the "infidels" Bible . the moral defects of the Ten Commandments . unfulfilled Bible prophecies . errors in Bible facts and figures . 277 Bible contradictions . heathen customs appropriated by God . the impossibility of a person God . and much more. This is essential reading for students of comparative mythology and modern freethinkers. Also available from Cosimo: Graves's The Biography of Satan and The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors |

Page 13 - I look on a world of sinners and sufferers, upon death-beds and graveyards, upon the world of woe, filled with hosts to suffer forever ; when I see my friends, my parents, my family, my people, my fellow-citizens; when I look upon a whole race, all involved in this sin and danger ; and when I see the great mass of them wholly unconcerned ; and when I feel that God only can save them, and yet He does not do it, — I am struck dumb. It is all dark, dark, dark, to my soul ; and I cannot disguise it.
