Reading books is a great way to expand your mind and dispel ignorance.
First on the list is the bible. I’m serious. Know the book behind the myth. At least be able to reference it. It’s better to be informed than ignorant.
Here is my list to get things started:
Neece’s Deconversion Book List
Neece’s Current List of Books and Movies:
What I’m reading now:
- The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
(Listening to the audio version. Excellent!)
- Idlewild
(Very interesting, quite different. Written by Carl Sagan’s son, Nick.)
- Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person’s Answer to Christian Fundamentalism
(my favorite atheist book so far)
What I just finished:
- You Suck: A Love Story
(It made me LOL)
- Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story
(It sucked me in. Fun and funny.)
- The City of Ember
(movie was much better)
- His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)
(best trilogy I’ve ever read!)
- The Heathen’s Guide to World Religions (witty and informative)
What I’m waiting for, or what’s waiting on my nightstand:

“Someone ought to tell the truth about the Bible.” This was written by a man back in 1894. His name was Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll and he was a Civil war veteran, an American political leader and an orator during the Golden Age of Freethought. Back in 1894 he wrote “About the Holy Bible” which is a must read for everyone. It is timeless and brilliant.
Ingersol and Paine took the bible and tore it to shreds exposing it for exactly what it is…a book of lies to fool the sheep and make rich the wolves who spout it as the word of a god. Remember, the first priest was a wise man who met a fool. The more things change the more they stay the same.
