Analyzing Christians

[Tero]

I was a bit bored with Dawkins as far as God Delusion went. I had read most stuff before. The invisible friend was a nice twist.

But I am looking more at the books of once fierce christians who escaped and are able to analyze their former pals. I looked at a book a year or two back. Forgot the author. He was a minister.

Christians themselves analyze themselves by way of Greek temperaments:

LaHaye's biggest offense is trying to tie the Bible into his personal theories (as he does with his Left Behind books and other writings). His know-it-all writing style boldly proclaims that he can tell you the temperament of Noah, the Apostle Paul and others, including minor characters that are only in the Bible for a page. Never does he flinch or hesitate, refusing to acknowledge that all of his judgments are based on a few verses--how in the world does he know what any of these people were like in real life?

Jeez, I did not realize there was a whole self help section that uses the old fashioned analysis:

Florence Littauer shows how to determine what type of temperament you fall into: Popular Sanguine, Powerful Choleric, Perfect Melancholy, or Peaceful Phlegmatic.

I'm already bored. I may have to go back to the rocks book and read this in small helpings.

Well, here is the book. Not a whole lot of comments, really. I expected hundreds of "reviews".
