Shocking that anyone believes that book, but as pointed out here, most haven't read the lion's share of it.

had a different title, a Trojan horse title like “The True Word of God." I also wish that the fact it’s a Thinking Atheist podcast wasn’t obvious, so that my fundy in-laws would listen to it when I sent it to them. No fundy is going to listen to a podcast called “The Bloody Bible,” especially if they see that it’s a Thinking Atheist podcast. It’s too bad, because fundies are the very ones who need to hear it.
