Just look at who is in the book business. Many of the employees are ex college professors : )
Jews should rise up against these anti-Christian Jews, just like Christians rise up against anti-Semites and Muslims SHOULD rise up against their barbarian brethern.
Because pseudo-intellectuals (who are not particularly smart, but think they are and wear the trappings of being smart) tend own bookstores and/or buy books.
And pseudo-intellectuals are too smart for any religion besides Islam, Wicca, or the eastern religion of the day.
That's why there has been a non-stop all-out assault on so-called "Mega"-Churches, authors of Godly-Inspired authors of Wisdom, e.g. Joel Osteen, Rick Warren and T. D. Jakes.
The Love of Christ is being sent to our fighting men and women, and to their hatefilled enemies via Trinity Broadcasting Network and Daystar satellite--forcing the hate-ravaged leftists to pull out all stops before their fiery end.
Sam Harris? How is that a Jewish-sounding name?
While there have been a number of books which could be characterized as anti-Christian, there are thousands of Christian-themed books published every year.
I think it's fair to point out the books that take a negative stance on Christianity, but I don't think it's quite fair to damn the entire publishing industry as anti-Christian. Who is publishing all those Christian-themed books? Is it not the publishing industry?
It seems that Secular Humanism is never brought up when speaking about dangerouse religions. Their is no scientific or historicle proof for it. It must be taken on faith alone. It is a Godless religion, but a religion all the same. It has caught up to just about all other religions in suffering and genocide in the past century.
This should not shock anyone since Christ said we would be Taken before the magistrates and falsely accused, we would be beaten, and even killed for his sake." So I figure we have had it easy so far, ( too easy I'm afraid).
The big problem leftists have is they don't reproduce themselves at a rate that keeps up with more traditional people. That's one big reason why their influence is waning.
Thanks for posting this.
My impression is that most Christian books are printed by Christian publishing houses and are not widely marketed but are purchased by those who know where to find them. I did say "most."

IMHO The publishing industry is the last bastion of the Old Left. The movers and shakers of the book publishing trade are really, really well insulated from street level realities. University academia, a very definite agenda player, provides just one of the insulating layers. Add the corporate inbreeding to the coastal Blue State insularity and provincialism and the result is a, well, pretty six fingered/six toed inbred liberal psycho hill billy, in a word, the book publishing industry.
Being a college professor I must take exception to painting us all with the brush of anti-Christian. Happily, I am just the opposite as are many others here at secular U. Anyway, that is not my point of comment. This article misses much of the anti-Christian vitriol spewed by hate groups such as socialists, leftists in general, and the GLBT alliance so prevalent on many college campuses. Guidance on issues of morality to the immoral members of such group is to be repudiated as intolerance et al.
Which books are the most heavily promoted? Which ones get put up in the most out-of-the-way sheves?
"Yea, hath God said?"
Still the best tactic .. muddy the truth with a question.
So God protects this wonderful piece of real estate until a group of people determine in their hearts that they will worship God in truth and in spirit, hop aboard a boat, and sail to the New World, write a 'constitution' of sorts (Mayflower Compact) .. struggle, fight, live and die for the express purpose of living life in the freedom and liberty God desires for us.
And you think Satan is going to sit on the sidelines and let this happen?
Since we became the united states of America .. we have been under attack ... and the foundation to the American identity is Christianity.
"Sam Harris? How is that a Jewish-sounding name?"
No less than George Allen.
If you took away Medved's inflammatory adjectives, this article would be like an episode of Deadwood sans curse words. Short.

Well, I go to Barnes and Noble all the time. Since I'm interested in religious topics, I often go to the shelves in that area. Tons of books on Christianity are there. Some are good. Some are mediocre.
My point is that one cannot condemn the entire publishing industry for not publishing Christian-themed books. They do so all the time.
They publish books with anti-Christian themes as well. The reader gets to choose which ones they read. For myself, I never read blatant anti-Christian books. They're always over the top.
Name notwithstanding, I do believe Mr. Harris is Jewish, or rather a JINO.
(I googled "Sam Harris Jewish" and there's an interview about it.)
Not that that has a thing to do with this discussion.
