Publisher's Synopsis
For too long, critiques of religious thought have been delivered exclusively in clinical scientific terms, intentionally stripped of emotion by the nature of analysis. The trouble with the approach is that to argue only by science or reason is to implicitly concede to religions that their positions hold superior poetry or emotion, which is untrue. Having provided a comprehensive intellectual treatment of religious thought and its ample failures in his first book on the subject (What Are You Without God?), Christopher Krzeminski offers this collection of prose poetry to give sound intellectual critiques of religious systems while simultaneously mimicking the emotional withdrawal process of an emerging atheist through the arrangement of the selections. Leaving religious thought is a transforming maturation exercise for both one's intellect and emotions, and I Am demonstrates that there is great music and poetry to be found in that struggle.
