Debating God with a Brain

Debating God with a Brain A Satirical Guide to Faith, Fallacies, and the Collapse of Religious Logic Why do religious people claim mountains prevent earthquakes? Why do some say a goat ate verses of the Qur'an and still insist their book is "perfectly preserved"? Why do believers think Neil Armstrong became Muslim—and why does that matter to faith? Debating God with a Brain is a sharp, irreverent, and intellectually fearless exploration of the logical fallacies used to defend God, religion, and so-called divine truth. From the banana-as-proof-of-creation to the misuse of embryology verses as scientific miracles, this book tears apart the sacred illusions that survive only because no one dares to question them. Until now. With biting humor and clinical reasoning, author Nafis Sadique Shatil dissects ten of the most common fallacies used in religious debates—appeal to authority, circular reasoning, misuse of science, God of the gaps, and more—each illustrated with real-life arguments, popular myths, and religious propaganda that millions still believe. Including: The story of Neil Armstrong "hearing the Azan on the moon" The verse of stoning eaten by a goat Qur'anic "miracles" that geology would laugh at Emotional manipulation disguised as divine wisdom The lie that "atheists have no morals" This book is not a polite critique. It is a satirical demolition of false logic dressed in holy clothing. It is for the student forced to memorize without thinking, for the ex-believer gaslighted by tradition, and for the freethinker hungry for truth uncluttered by fear. At its core, Debating God with a Brain is a rallying cry for reason. It challenges blind belief not with arrogance, but with evidence—and a little well-earned mockery. Whether you're a curious skeptic, a recovering believer, or someone who simply wants to laugh while learning, this book offers a refreshing dose of intellectual self-respect in an age of unquestioned dogma. Because truth doesn't fear scrutiny. And faith that needs fallacies isn't faith—it's fraud.
