With such fascinating titles as "The Sermon on the Hill," "So You Wanna See God!" and "The Big Domino in the Sky," this intriguing collection of tales reveals the pitfalls and the inconsistencies in the traditional concept of God, the problems that accompany reliance on faith, and the improbability of God's existence.
