This book is the life's work and legacy of a priest who blew the whistle on Christianity; he begins with: "My dear friends, all the world's religions are only human inventions, and there is nothing but error, abuse, vanity, illusion, deceit, lies, and imposture in all that is said, and all that is practiced in the world in worshipping the Gods."
