Hello, congratulations on your review of John Haught's God and New Atheism. I read the book myself, and share most of your criticisms. I am really bugged by the "you-have-not-read-theology" argument: you do not need to be an expert on every major astrological book in order to know that astrology is a farse.

I do understand what love is, and that is one of the reasons I can never again be a Christian. Love is not self denial. Love is not blood and suffering. Love is not murdering your son to appease your own vanity. Love is not hatred or wrath, consigning billions of people to eternal torture because they have offended your ego or disobeyed your rules. Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being.
