    His Some Mistakes of Moses is amazing, detailed, sometimes scathing, sometimes downright hilarious. I believe he was a preacher’s kid and may have went to seminary himself before he went the other way, so he definitely knew his shit. Sadly, his life was one that ended way too soon.

    I will add, that if you like this book, Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason part II is very similar, though around 100 years older.
