LMAO . . . the FUNNIEST book review ever on Amazon. . .
this yahoo can't actually be serious.

A review of "The End of Faith by Sam Harris:

The End of Your Soul, January 4, 2006

Reviewer: xxxxxxxx@yahoo.com - See all my reviews

Mr. Harris, a devout secularist, may soon need the pages of this book to fan out the eternal flames that the Lord Jesus will spit down from the glorious heavens (Peter 2:3). Does Mr Harris really believe that last year's tsunami was an accident, or perhaps a late birthday present to Jesus: thousands of unrepentant souls. Mr Harris seems to be jealous that that the Lord has delivered to this great nation His very own leader, George W Bush, (Leviticus 8:4) that will eventually lead the secularists to their eternal damnation. I suppose Mr Harris would have sent billions of our nation's tax dollars to rescue those Hell-bound Pakistanis after God's wrath unfurled on them. Read at your own demise.

:rofl: Where the hell do these people come from?

1. Captured it. Someone once posted a hysterical Amazon review of
this children's book that was hysterically over the top and overly long and analytical. I wish I would have saved it.

2. Weren't there a few like that of 'The Pet Goat' in honor of Dubya?
The main reason I was reading the reviews is I ran across the book at Costco earlier and picked it up on a whim (it was only $8 or something like that).

I'm curious to see what the guy has to say.

4. The ones for Bill Frist's book, "Good People Beget Good People"
are pretty funny:


The Absolute Worst Human Being on the Planet, May 9, 2005
Reviewer: Proud That I'm Not A Frist "notanmbagraduate" (Philly) - See all my reviews

This is a fascinating study of the extraordinary mix of in-breeding, animal sacrifice, and corruption required to produce the world's worst human being. Coming from a family of mildly despicable cheats, the Frists had a leg up on normal human beings...but it still took an enormous amount of laboratory work and careful training to produce not just a self-involved twit but an unspeakable monster.

This book is Frankenstein of our century, a marvellous account of the line between science and morality, and the "Dr. Frist" character is a chilling reminder of the true evil inherent in all humanity...even if readers will find Dr. Frist himself an impossibly overdrawn character. Surely, no actual human could be so evil. Neverthless, he stands like Shelley's monster as an emblem of the path we as a species must never take.

By damning this "Dr. Frist" character and the bizarre process that created him, this sterling work serves as a moral guide, a hope for the future.



A monumental bore-a-thon, April 25, 2004
Reviewer: Judy Lind "jlind555" - See all my reviews


Really, this has got to rank as one of the worst excuses for biography ever written. So Bill Frist's family is supposedly melanin-free... so what? Is that their sole claim to being "good people"? What else have they done to justify these hundreds of pages of poorly written prose? The only positive benefit of this yawn-inducing snoozathon is that it's a surefire remedy for terminal insomnia. You'll be bored into a coma in no time at all.


He SHOULD run for president., January 29, 2006
Reviewer: Freethinker (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

For all his "aristocratic forebears", Bill (the most notable scion) comes across as a shifty, nervous, unconvincing good ol' boy hustler. Perhaps he was found by the side of the road. Unfortunately for his political ambitions, he is unable to suppress the facial evidence of his frequent prevarications and downright falsehoods. Perhaps he's a little more intelligent and consequently self-aware than our present "leader", who apparently views himself as the popular captain of some giant prep school football team. So nothing but good things can come to our nation by Bill's thrusting himself forward; we'd really have to take a hard look at the voting machines if he won. As for the rest of this noble clan, "behind every great fortune lies a great crime".


There are others just as funny at amazon.com.

--like Leviticus REFERS to GWB!!

:rofl::rofl:

Anyone know what that verse ACTUALLY says? I bet it isn't "And thou shalt call him Bushie, and he shall be thy king."

9. Don't you get it? He's saying that Bush is a rabbi and that he'll
lead us into the wilderness to wander aimlessly for 40 years. :P

10. Hardcore fundies are delusional whackjobs
Their beliefs have no basis in reality, so it's no wonder that anything they say is completely off the wall. Rationality is not to be expected from them.
