AMAZING, OUR DIFFERENT OPINIONS!!!!

Sometimes I wonder, did I read the same book they did??  I thought this book was an ok read.  It did not delve very deeply into JFK Jr.'s personal life, if that what a reader was looking for.  Nor did it contain racy information on Caroline.  It was a light, easy, fast book.  I would recommend it.

Most reviews here have been negative, but I stand tall to differ. The premise is amazing, we all agree. The pace many say is slow, but thats what real life is like, is it not? I understand some upset about consistency, but please do allow the author so creative control on who represents their book best. If pronunciation is a problem, then thered be a multicolored war between the British, Americans, Canadians, Scottish, Irish, Indians... must I go on?
If this series doesnt suit one, I think the best course of action may be not to read it. For those of us who think its fascinating, please read on and cheer! I know I am - rock on Victoria Aveyard!

yes, I've read most of these genres.  Jed's is definitely different and in the most refreshing way!!  You have to be hungry to appreciate the incredible work he's done here.  This will be the last spiritual/enlightenment book I will read thanks to Jed's perspective.  He doesn't tell you how to think.  He simply points a way and (if) you're ready, the path will call you out of your fog.  Thank you Jed!!!

Ok, Let's get the facts out there. I am NOT the target audience. I am a gay male, 40 years old and I think Mr Mathers is brilliant. Did ya hear that? YES, I am a fag and I get him. And I have gotten him since he first emerged on the scene.

I was going to post a lengthy review, and then I stumbled across a review by someone named Kristin and I realized that the most spot on review had been already been posted. There are the fan posts, the newcomer posts, and then there are those folks that just get it and Kristin's post captures that. I don't know her, but I think I get her. I definately get her review.

My opinion? Give Mr Mathers more credit than just pandering to school kids. Listen and you will hear that he actually has alot of wisdom.

I would like to just say thank you for being brave enough to do what you do. The screwed up religious right (lower case intended) have freaks like Ted Nugent to speak for their twisted ideas. At least we have someone in touch with relevant ideas on our side.

I had to write and respond to Chrystal Ben-Ezra from Erie, PA.  If you think that God, your God or my God, isn't human, then maybe you should see more footage of the World Trade Center attacks, California earthquakes or the Monsaratt Volcano explosion.  Do you NOT think that God (yours or mine) had anything to do with those????
God on a Harley is simply a lighthearted story of how one person found peace through a fantasy.  I was always taught that God is all things to all people. So, why can't he be a handsome "Joe" on a motorcycle dispersing advise to people.  Not all the answers are going to be the same for everyone.  For Christine, "Joe" made her see her life differently and touch upon what is really important to her...which might not be the same for Chrystal Ben-Ezra of Erie, PA.
I have always believed that people are entitled to their opinion.  I do, however, don't think that Chrystal can preach about God to the rest of us if she believes the "all or nothing" concept.
The world is made up of fine lines and God on a Harley just shows each of us individually how to sort out our own feelings.
I found the book to be very helpful in dealing with some difficult times and deciding what happiness meant to me.  Why would God not be a part of that?  Please read God on a Harley and decide for yourself!

I have watched this and also read the book "The Harbinger" - they are both amazing.  I would tell anyone that they should watch this video, read the Biblical text (check it out) and be vigilant in their thinking about what it says.  Eye opening, thought provoking!!!!

Very good work from the author, he did a good job coming up with his answers to the questions on issues that have had reviews from others yet they just left them hanging. The book gets into each issue and doesn't stop until all has been dug up and other paths explored. We all have our take on these things and he either gives you more to believe in his take on it or for you to assume your own. I have to admit it is one of the best books I have read because of his expertise in his writing of it. Very good, buy it you'll like it.

I really liked this book. My wife and I talked about it extensively. It definitely makes you think outside the trap of adultism, of culture. Children even thou smaller in size have rights because they are persons too and need to be respected from birth. Why is it then that most people don't respect them or try to find excuses to perpetuate the control and violence over them............well for that you need to read the book.........many many times and discuss it with your friends and family. You will be amazed of what you'll find! The truth will set you free.

What an amazing idea! Sooooo worth thinking about!  It does however take concentration to read it. Some of the sentences are quite long and involved. (Which I realize is a good thing. But it does that meaning putting effort forth. Again, not a bad thing.) His information, (Diamond does offer conflicting views) just lets so many pieces fit right into place about how different peoples' societies evolved.  Very interesting information.

It is amazing to me how closely (in some respects) some of the thoughts of the author resemble what is happening today (2013).
The Government knows BEST (why can't the people see that?)
BUT Freedom & the People's spirit will always shine through!!!

Just wanted to add my two cents in on JSG's review:

I loved your post and your passion for one of my favorite bands.  But I don't think you're interpreting some of their lyrics correctly.  Specifically, while highlighting some of your favorite lines, you wrote:

Block: "even Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss" - how sad and true

I don't think that's how Kilbey meant it.  He has always been a bit of an eccentric (in a Robyn Hitchcock vein), his lyrics full of word play, dark romance, mystical exploration, occasional menace and deep irony.  And it's irony (perhaps tinged with sarcasm) being used at the end of Block, with it's thank you list of items he'd rather not have (its a form of word play he used similarly in his non sequitur "welcome" list on MAGICIAN AMONG THE SPIRIT).  So I don't believe he was sadly or reverently recounting the bible in that line; in fact, when you highlighted that line in your review you really pulled those words out of their greater context (including the pithy "Why" that begins that sentence).  You have to read (and hear) that line in context with the full list of things he's NOT really thankful for, which concludes this way:

Thank you to the Lord who created all this
There's a whole lot of hurt before you get to the bliss
Why, even Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But that was long before he got in show biz

Just because they're called The Church, does not mean they're a pro-Christian band like U2 (who wear their religion quite respectfully, which is why no one minds their viewpoint).  No, The Church have always been open to darker interpretations of the meaing of existence, and I don't think they believe the Christian "lord" is any more superior to other ancient gods of myth and legend.

Didn't mean to get too deep, here.  Just wanted to clear that up for anyone interested in this magnificent album.  It's definitely their best work since Priest = Aura and the songs and guitar work are fabulous.  Don't miss it!
