You rejected every god they offered. Now find the words for why.You’ve sat through the sermons, endured the altar calls, and listened to the well-meaning warnings about your eternal soul. You’ve watched intelligent people accept claims they’d reject in every other area of their lives. You’ve wondered why doubt is treated as a disease instead of celebrated as a virtue. And through it all, you’ve searched for a voice that speaks your quiet conviction out loud.A Book of Rhyme and Reason by Terence B. Stanaland - retired CPA, practicing attorney, and lifelong skeptic - pairs sharp, memorable poetry with unflinching essays that dismantle religious dogma, pseudoscience, and magical thinking. From the gold-draped contradictions of the papacy to the hollow promise of Pascal’s Wager, from homeopathy to talking to the dead, Stanaland turns a professional skeptic’s eye on the claims that billions accept without evidence. The result is part manifesto, part meditation - equal parts wit and warmth, written by a man who never believed a word of it and isn’t sorry.Inside you’ll discover:• Provocative poems paired with thought-provoking commentary on faith, mortality, science, and meaning• A fearless critique of religious institutions, Christian apologetics, and everyday superstition• A deeply personal yet universal case for proportioning belief to evidence - and finding beauty in reality as it actually isFor freethinkers, skeptics, and anyone who ever felt alone in a world that believes in Santa Claus, this slim volume will feel like coming home.
