I received this book as an ebook free from the author through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. The book is about a debate about religion between two friends, one a Christian and the other an atheist. This book really made me think about religions in the world, our religious practices, and whether God really exists. I’d like to know more about what happens and what each character decides as the ending was sort of “a draw” with an interesting business proposal and a very interesting counter proposal. I did enjoy reading this book and found it challenging. ( )

We were at the point 3/4 of the way through when I was sick and tired of the crap going on in the "conversation" here. I got irritated. It was tough enough reading through the inability for the author to functionally edit, but the banter became annoying. The arguments were good. It was just crap in between. For me it went from "Oh banter. How cute!" to "Oh hell. More banter crap!" ( )

This book was given to me in exchange of an honest review.

This book was hard to put down. The characters were relatable and the discussion of the age old question is one I have had with friends myself. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more from the author (maybe a sequel??). ( )

I like the concept of this book. It is about two friends from opposite sides of the spectrum, so to speak, of the religious argument. We have Christian the Christian (really? Couldn't you find another name?) and Isaac, the Atheist (I'd have thought Isaac wold have represent a Person of the Jewish religion, but given the title...) who apparently have religious and/or faith-based arguments quite often.

This short story takes place when Christian invites Isaac over for a proposal based on these religious arguments. The dialogue was witty in places and a little "toilet-humor-esque" in others, but seemed like an actual conversation between two good friends. The unfortunate thing for me is that the story lacks a bit of ambiance and focuses on the dialogue between characters. The other unfortunate thing is that the "proposal" is brought up at the very end of the story and wrapped up only a few pages later. Yes, there is a "cliffhanger" of sorts at the end, leaving you to guess at what the final answer was.

I suppose if you're a Christian, you already know the answer to the proposal when you get to the last sentence of the book. This very short story was interesting and worth the read, but didn't really wow me. I liked it, but would have liked more from the author. The only way to have garnered more out of this, however, is to move forward with the proposal and having the author tell a tale from there. In fact, the story would make a great introduction to a novel of the same theme.

If I had the option for 3 1/2 stars, this little quip of a story would have it! Honestly, I didn't even find very many typos, so he edited it well. Kudos and thank you for the thought-provoking read!

I received this short story in ebook format from a LibraryThing member giveaway and was not monetarily compensated for my review. All opinions expressed above are solely my own. ( )

Christian and Isaac have been friends since they were very young. They are now in their mid-late 20's and have had an on going debate about whether or not God exists.

One day Christian invites Isaac to his home but won't tell Isaac why. Isaac assumes that
Christian wants to have "The Debate" again and in a way he does. Isaac spends the evening trying to convince Christian that God doesn't exist while Christian is recording and writing Isaac's explanations, while also giving his side of the debate.

Near the end of the book, Christian explains a business proposition to Isaac that he thinks will make them rich.
What does Isaac think????

The book is entertaining using facts and humor to keep the reader interested.

I won this book in a Librarything member giveaway. ( )
