Check it out, you'll be glad you did,


Found on Page 6:

"This is a memoir, not a biography. (I have also changed some people's
names to protect the more or less innocent.) To footnote this story or
to have done research into dates and places and to correct the
chronology would have been to indulge the conceit that my book is an
objective history. It is not. What I've written comes from a memory
deformed by time, prejudice, flawed recall, and emotion."
You learned a lot from deformed memories...... well..... OK, whatever
floats your boat......



What else is organized religion *but* a compilation of memories deformed
by time, prejudice, flawed recall and emotion.


The book turns out to be well written by a very honest man, who might
not have been so honest when power and money were placed before him.

Many of the right wing posters here probably have some of his older
books and movies that he was famous for.

His views on home schooling is interesting as he was partly responsible
for the religious home schooling movement.
