DAHLONEGA, Ga., May 6, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The existence of a divine power has been heavily debated over the centuries. Gods and religions have been defined and redefined over time, some theories dying out and others evolving. Justan X. Christian challenges any believer to take the test. His test is his book, The POEMS of an ATHEIST (now available through 1stBooks Library), a collection filled with verse that contradicts the existence of a higher being.
Christian's book is filled with 100 poems written on the same subject, the absence of a deity over humans. Written in consistent meter and rhyme, each poem is its own profound realization raising questions of a profound nature that would "shake the very foundations of any person's religious beliefs," the author notes. In his poem "Bonfire of Science Books," Christian writes about what it would take to create a new religion. "For what some, new one would entail/ Yes what would it require,/ Would be to gather, science books.../ And set them all on fire!/ Yes all the facts and truths of science.../ We've come to thus, compile,/ We'd have to suddenly say were lies.../ And claim, complete denial!"
Christian's book covers the subject of religions and God from every angle possible. His motives are simple. He only wishes to spread the truth and end the hatred and closed mindedness that is caused by religion by making evident the "new beliefs" that a former Christian can form. With his poems, Christian sends a challenge to any "true believer," in "Defining Your Religion:" "If you're religious, here's a question.../ To help you see the light:/ 'Are other men's religions wrong'.../ 'While only yours is right?'"
The POEMS of an ATHEIST was 10 years in the making for first-time author Christian. Born and raised a Southern Baptist, Christian has come to slowly see what he believes to be the falsehood and foolishness of religions and their Gods and has subsequently set out to state his case. Christian has a bachelor's degree with honors in psychology and is the proud father of a daughter and son.
