HOUDINI DEATH CONSPIRACY MANUAL

This is not a condemnation of Christianity. This book is so deeply problematic because in fundamentalist, legalistic circles, people use this book in the place of their own judgement as Christians, parents and decent human beings. Many Christians today have the same reactions to the Westboro Baptist Church. He would have rebuked Pearl because genuine believers cannot stomach the harms done by True Believers. That is not because my grandfather was some sort of vengeance seeker. He would have rebuked a man like Michael Pearl and if Pearl beat a child or a dog with a piece of wood, a belt, or plumbing line in front of him, Pearl would have found out what it is like to be at the mercy of a larger, angry man. This book upsets me so much because though I am an atheist, I know excellent and fine Christians.

This book is deeply problematic beyond just the content, which we will get to in a moment. And Michael Pearl is okay with that because he says those parents didn’t beat their children with love in their hearts or they wouldn’t have struck their children repeatedly with plumbing line until their muscles broke down and clogged their kidneys with biological debris, killing them. It is a book written solely with the intent of breaking the wills of small children, beating them into submission, and it has become a text used by witless Christian parents to beat their “willful” children to death. This is a book so vile, written by a man so degenerate, that there is literally no way for a moral person to discuss it with anything approaching neutrality. If you do want to buy it, I will not abet such a bad decision.Ĭomments: This is one of the wickedest books I have ever read and, given who I am and what I read, that is saying a lot.
