"God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction" with Dan Barker

What words come to mind when we think of God? Merciful? Just? Compassionate? In fact, the Bible clearly lays out God’s primary qualities: jealous, petty, unforgiving, bloodthirsty, vindictive, and worse.

Come join this tour through the Bible, guided by Freedom From Religion Foundation co-president (and former minister) Dan Barker, as laid out in his book God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction.

After meeting God -- as portrayed in His own words, some would say -- you might well run the other way. Dan did.

Attend in person at the San Francisco Main Library, convenient to BART and MUNI, and across the street from the Civic Center Parking Garage. Or join in online - see Zoom link below.

THIS IS THE SECOND of five stops on Dan Barker's Western Tour in January, with events in Olympia WA, San Francisco, Palo Alto and Sacramento CA, and Salt Lake CIty UT. On January 18 in Palo Alto, enjoy an unusual opportunity for casual conversation with Dan and a recital of his secular songs.
