Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Many of the reviews here and also on audible, seem to focus on the fact that the author is Christian as reason to avoid, and apparently, to become very angry after reading the book. All I would say is: 1. if you believe human rights are innate 2. human dignity and worth is innate and 3. moral truth is non-negotiable and transcends culture or society, then you will probably read the book without getting upset, and you likely will find it interesting. If on the other hand, you believe that 1. human rights are arbitrary, evolve, and come from government 2. human beings are animals and the value of a human life is equal to the value of any given animal life and 3. morality is relative, and political movments can alter moral "truths" to their benefit or for the perceived benefit of mankind, then you probably will be angry at Wiker and his "Christian fundamentalist" "clap-trap". More disturbing though, is how many reviewers attack the author as "Christian" as if this invalidates his ability to think and reason. It is amazing how successful the secular left has been at making "religion" the antonym of "thought". There was a time when all of Western Civilization, science, math, jurisprudence, academic research, hellenistic reason, was preserved and cultivated and embodied by the Church, when both reason and morality were both necessary for some idea or some person to be counted as virtuous. Today many reviewers here feel compelled to show their secular, cultural-relativist intolerance by giving an unsubstantiated 1-star review and pronouncing to the world, "Don't read this book, the author has a Christian world view!" The universities have done their job well.
