I am more excited about ‘Divinity of Doubt: The God Question’ than any other book in my entire career, and I’ve had seven New York Times bestsellers, three of them reaching number one. Vincent Bugliosi Read Quote
Atheism is really nothing but a sorry litany of non-sequiturs, e.g., if God existed, why do we have all the evil and horrors in the world? But this presupposes that God is all-good, an obvious non-sequitur. Vincent Bugliosi Read Quote

Nearly all Americans felt they knew JFK intimately, his charm and wit regularly lighting up the television screen at home. This is why polls showed that millions of Americans took his assassination like a ‘death in the family.’ Vincent Bugliosi Read Quote
