Publisher's Summary
Did you know that God forbids the tying of shoelaces on Saturdays? Or that humans emit a colorful aura that can be discerned only with a Third Eye? That bountiful harvest requires the flinging of a live goat from a church bell tower? That instead of wishing upon a star, we can wish upon a...cow? Well into the 21st century, our species continues to participate in beliefs and customs that seem more suited to the Bronze Age than the Information Age, some of which involve poisonous snakes, holy smoke, urine bubbles, crystals, tarot cards, aliens, costumed virgins, and, of course, an offering plate. Join Seth Andrews for a random romp across the planet and a humorous look at some of humanity's Sacred Cows.

a book for everyone
I think this book would be good for theists and atheists. The Thinking Atheist Lovers will especially enjoy it as it's like an extended podcast.

a voice of reason amongst our accepted insanity
How can we possibly mention Jesus in the same sentence as Santa and the Easter bunny? Easy, get Seth Andrews to do it. He crafts it in such a way that makes you realise how crazy it ALL is.

Great book. Very enjoyable.
Exactly as described. Human beings are weird, crazy beasts. This is a great collection of proofs.

A fun, humorous and interesting read.
I love Seth's unique ability to narrate information by bringing it to life through personal anecdotes, humor and observations about the madness of humanity. I found this to be a lovely and often hilarious book. I enjoyed the broad spectrum of cultural and religious practices from across the globe. Thanks for the ear candy

PRETTY ORDINARY
Maybe it was just me , I found this book a bit too "lightweight " for my taste. This is not to say it's not a good book, it just didn't appeal to me.
