George Grossmith

    9 dicembre 1847 – 1 marzo 1912

    George Grossmith fu un poliedrico artista inglese, rinomato per i suoi talenti comici come scrittore, compositore, attore e cantante. È celebrato principalmente per aver originato una serie di personaggi iconici nelle opere comiche di Gilbert e Sullivan, affermandosi come una figura chiave del teatro musicale. Oltre al suo lavoro teatrale, Grossmith fu anche un intrattenitore solista di grande successo, noto per aver eseguito i propri sketch e le proprie canzoni umoristiche, che consolidarono il suo status di principale interprete britannico. I suoi contributi letterari si estesero a un notevole romanzo satirico, dimostrando la sua versatile voce artistica e il suo duraturo fascino.

      In this classic treatise on atheism, George H. Smith sets out to demolish what he considers the most widespread and destructive of all the myths devised by human beings - the concept of a supreme being. With painstaking scholarship and rigorous arguments, Mr. Smith examines, dissects, and refutes the myriad "proofs" offered by theists - sophisticated, professional theologians - as well as the average religious layperson. He explores the historical and psychological havoc wrought by religion in general and concludes that religious belief cannot have any place in the life of modern, rational man. "It is not my purpose to convert people to atheism . . . (but to) demonstrate that the belief in God is irrational to the point of absurdity. If a person wishes to continue believing in a god, that is his prerogative, but he can no longer excuse his belief in the name of reason and moral necessity."
