Hi, I definitely enjoyed "Letters from the Earth" and would be delighted if more people would read it. However, that's one heavy duty piece o' writing. I have a few Christian Fundamentalist friends who I regularly debate with and I haven't mentioned LFTE because I don't want them to bust an artery (awkward to explain to the surviving wives and children). In my humble, uneducated, unliterary opinion I would suggest starting easy. Begin with "The War Prayer". Short, simple and a funny ending. If they can absorb that then they will never be able to listen to a President say that "God is on Our Side" without frowning. Heck, they won't even be able to listen to a baseball player talking about how God helped his team win the Big Game. After that I'd probably move up to "The Damned Human Race". Teach people a little humility. Take 'em down a few pegs. It will hurt for a little while but it will do them a world of good. If you get this far then you might, IMHO, have succeeded in changing their outlook on life forever. Now you can safely hand them a copy of "Letters from the Earth". Just my two cents worth, Alan Rosenthal
