"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law.
Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion—a godless one.
And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county.
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).
Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.
Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is—Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?
Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.
Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices.
"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'" —From Godless

这本书的文字功底着实了得,读起来简直是一种享受。那些长句的结构、词语的选择,都透露出作者深厚的文学素养。它不是那种快餐式的读物,需要你静下心来,细细品味每一段文字背后的韵味。我特别喜欢作者对于环境描写的段落,那种画面感极强,我几乎能闻到空气中的气味,感受到光线的变化。虽然故事的主线很清晰,但作者在其中穿插了许多关于哲学和存在主义的思考,这些思考并不生硬说教,而是自然而然地融入到角色的对话和行动中。这种深度让这本书的价值远超普通的小说,它更像是一场深刻的精神对话。我读完后特地去查阅了一些相关的历史背景资料,这更增添了我对这部作品的敬意。
评分这本书的结构设计非常精巧,仿佛一个复杂的钟表机械,每一个齿轮都咬合得天衣无缝。我很少见到能把多视角叙事处理得如此流畅且不混乱的作者。通过不同人物的眼睛去看待同一个事件,会产生出截然不同的理解和情感投射,这极大地丰富了故事的层次感。而且,这本书的张力控制得非常到位,高潮部分的情绪爆发力是压倒性的,让人忍不住屏住呼吸。相比于那些追求速度的流行小说,我更欣赏这种愿意花时间打磨细节、构建完整世界的作品。它不仅提供了娱乐,更提供了一种智力上的挑战和满足感。我已经开始期待作者的下一部作品了,希望还能有如此精彩的阅读体验。
评分这本书真让人欲罢不能,我一口气读完了,感觉就像经历了一场漫长而又惊心动魄的冒险。作者的笔触细腻入微,对人物内心的描摹入木三分,让人仿佛能亲身感受到角色的挣扎与成长。故事情节跌宕起伏,充满了意想不到的反转,每一次以为猜到了结局,都会被作者巧妙地引向新的方向。那种悬念感一直保持到最后一页,让人爱不释手。我尤其欣赏作者对时代背景的考究,那些细微的社会现象和人情冷暖,都展现得淋漓尽致,让整个故事更加真实可信。这本书不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出人性的复杂与光辉。读完之后,心里久久不能平静,总觉得还想再回去重温那些精彩的片段,细细品味其中的深意。
评分坦白说,我一开始对这类题材有些犹豫,但朋友的强烈推荐让我决定一试,结果完全超出了我的预期。这本书的叙事节奏把握得极好,既有大开大合的冲突场面,也有细腻温情的日常点滴。作者似乎有一种魔力,能把看似不相关的线索巧妙地编织在一起,最终汇聚成一个震撼人心的整体。最让我赞叹的是那些配角的塑造,他们每个人都有自己鲜明的个性和深刻的背景故事,绝非推动剧情的工具人。特别是那位沉默寡言的老者,他的几句箴言点醒了我很多对人生的看法。这本书的阅读体验非常酣畅淋漓,它用一种近乎诗意的语言,讲述了一个关于选择与救赎的宏大主题。我已经把它推荐给了我身边所有爱读书的朋友,这是一个绝对不容错过的佳作。
评分我必须承认,这本书的开篇稍微有些慢热,需要一点耐心才能进入状态,但一旦你跨过了最初的门槛,接下来的体验简直是海啸般的冲击。它探讨的主题非常大胆且尖锐,毫不回避人性的幽暗面,但同时又给予了微弱却坚韧的光芒。作者对于人物命运的安排充满了宿命感,但又在关键时刻展现了人可以挣脱束缚的可能性。这本书的对话是它的另一大亮点,很多台词精辟得我都要停下来反复琢磨,甚至抄录下来。它给我带来的思考远超故事本身,它让我重新审视了自己对“信仰”和“自由”的理解。这是一本需要用心去阅读、去感受的作品,绝对值得你投入时间。
