Anyone read this book by Stuart Sim?

Not read it myself, but happened upon it whilst browsing Amazon, which says in its review
"Empires of Belief" argues that we need less belief and more doubt: an engaged scepticism to replace the pervasive dogmatism that threatens our democracies.

Nope - but I think we need doubt to counter complacency.

Haven't read the book but did notice that the word Bible brings up 77704 results in Amazon books. You have to trawl through more than 50 titles to come to the Holy Bible. Loads of other "Bibles" ,including The Fast Bowlers Bible, come up first. Sort of says it all about religion in the Western World these days.

Anyone for the Bible according to Kim and Aggie? Cleanse your Soul, or should that be Soles ;o)
