Debating God with a Brain

A Satirical Guide to Faith, Fallacies, and the Collapse of Religious Logic

Why do people still believe Neil Armstrong heard the Azan on the moon?

Why does a goat eating a verse from the Qur’an not shake anyone’s faith in “perfect preservation”?

And why are bananas being used as evidence for divine design?

In this sharp and unapologetic book, Nafis Sadique Shatil exposes the most common logical fallacies used to defend religious beliefs—from the misuse of science to the appeal to emotion, circular reasoning, and more. Each chapter unpacks real-life religious arguments and myths with satire, critical thinking, and fearless honesty.

Debating God with a Brain is for the student, the skeptic, the ex-believer, and anyone tired of sacred logic that collapses under simple questioning. It’s a book about fallacies, but more importantly, it’s a call to reason in a world too scared to doubt.
