I am impressed by the amount of study and thought Russell obviously dedicated to this topic. He does not simply dismiss Christianity out of hand or mock it simply because he disagrees. Rather, he has obviously studied the Bible, which he quotes throughout this essay, and spent considerable time thinking about his own faith in general and Christianity in particular. Although rather short, he explains his reasoning clearly and succinctly as to why he’s not a Christian, complete with examples and counter-examples. All in all, this was very interesting and pleasant to read.
