Debating God with a Brain
Debating God with a Brain is a bold and satirical takedown of the flawed logic that props up religious belief. With sharp wit and fearless reasoning, Nafis Sadique Shatil exposes the fallacies used to defend God—from banana-based design arguments to divine verses eaten by goats.
Each chapter unpacks a widely used religious claim and dismantles it using logic, humor, and real-world examples—from the “miracles” of the Qur’an to the emotional manipulation disguised as spiritual wisdom. Whether it’s circular reasoning, appeals to emotion, or the God-of-the-gaps fallacy, Shatil shows how these tactics collapse under scrutiny.
This is not just a book about atheism. It’s a call for intellectual honesty, a celebration of free thought, and a challenge to traditions that fear questions more than they fear sin. For students, skeptics, and anyone tired of faith without reason, Debating God with a Brain is a powerful invitation to think, question, and laugh your way through sacred nonsense.
You will get a fearless, satirical, and eye-opening journey through the hollow logic that keeps religion standing. In Debating God with a Brain, author Nafis Sadique Shatil dismantles the most common arguments used by religious apologists—claims about divine preservation, scientific miracles in scripture, moral superiority, and more. With sharp wit and logical precision, the book explores ten core fallacies used to defend religious beliefs, including circular reasoning, the appeal to authority, cherry-picking, emotional manipulation, and the God-of-the-gaps fallacy. Each chapter breaks down real-world examples—from the myth of Neil Armstrong’s conversion to verses eaten by a goat—while exposing the fragile reasoning beneath them. This is not just a critique of religion; it’s a defense of free thought, scientific curiosity, and intellectual self-respect. Whether you're a skeptic, a questioning believer, or someone who simply enjoys clever arguments and bold satire, Debating God with a Brain offers the clarity, courage, and laughter you’ve been looking for.
