<p>"All God Worshippers Are Mad: a little book of sanity" seeks to demonstrate in a logical and common sense manner that the fundamental beliefs held by all monotheists are incomprehensible and lunatic. The method employed is to take the obscurantist vocabulary of monotheism and translate it into plain language. In doing so, the book attempts to show that god worshippers themselves do not understand the things they claim to believe and by which they live their lives. For the reader who believes in god, this polemical little volume may help them to understand why secularists get so frustrated and infuriated when in debate with god worshippers. For the secularist, this book is a reminder that not everyone is susceptible to reasoned argument. The reminder is a timely one. A clear understanding of the irrationality of monotheism is something which matters urgently when confronted by the global rise of religious fascism. What is said in this little book will no doubt be found impolite and overly-provocative by those authoritarian people within the politically correct establishment who conflate morality with niceness. They will probably utter the familiar refrain that we ought not to denigrate other people’s deeply and sincerely held beliefs. Instead we should live in a permanent state of apology for the crime of having minds of our own. But religions are no more above criticism than any other ideologies. They have no entitlement to a privileged status. Besides which, large numbers of god worshippers feel free to denigrate and insult everyone else’s deeply and sincerely held beliefs, so why should they have special permission to be hypocrites?

This book takes a radically anti-establishment position and insists upon a genuinely impartial sex equality. It argues that feminism has always been opposed to true equality and has actually stopped us from achieving an impartial sex equality. The book’s title means just what it says. Feminism is itself sexism, and not some new kind of ‘reverse’ sexism but the same old sexism that operated in traditional society. Misandry is not a recent development, it has been around for as long as misogyny. Feminism endorses and exploits traditional misandry. What types of traditional misandry? Most notably, the sexist double-standard about the value of human life, which treats men as the expendable sex and holds women’s lives to be intrinsically more valuable than men’s lives, and the sexist double-standard about human pain, which treats female pain as being more serious and important than male pain. Feminism is Sexism describes feminism’s perversion of the freedom movement of the 1960s. It offers argument to refute patriarchy theory (in fact, five variations of that theory) on which all feminism is based. It exposes the maxim of Equal But Different for what it is, a hypocrite’s charter. Along the way it asks many uncomfortable questions, such as: Feminism promotes negative gender-stereotypes of men, locating the litany of men’s deficiencies and vices in their biological maleness. So is feminism guilty of everything it pretends to be against? If the UK government’s own statistics on domestic violence show that over 40% of the victims are male, why is their new policy on domestic violence called “Ending Violence Against Women and Girls”? Boys are being raised in a society which tells them that they are going to grow up into a cross between Jackass and Jack the Ripper. What kind of psychological damage will this do to them? Drawing upon evidence and examples from the UK, the USA, and elsewhere, the arguments in Feminism is Sexism may be unsettling, but they are not going to disappear simply because the political establishment chooses to ignore them. This is a provocative book which challenges you to doubt beliefs which you may have held all your life without really questioning them. Question them now.
