you can not logically prove god exist or that he doesn't exist there is a reason for this its called free choice. Proving his existence takes away free choice. omnipotence means he exist between both realms. When you can explain this away then prove he does i will read your e-book.edit on 7-6-2011 by pcrobotwolf because: (no reason given)

I understand where you are coming from, writing a book is a lot of work. Especially an informative book. I guess some people feel that if someone truly believes in a message they are spreading then they should offer it out for free. There is also the issue of the vast over-saturation in the market for books such as this.
Oh yeah, and people are greedy.
Media piracy hasn't helped with issues such as this.. everyone wants everything for free.

The question can be answered by yourself. Did you write the book to gain monetarily or did you write it solely to help humaninty? Either way don't let guilt drive you and don't look down on those that think that something so monmental as claimed should be free.
Also, Nice plug!

Was all your hard work to "craft" this so called masterpiece for the purpose of getting rich, or giving people the truth. Ask yourself honestly. Information/knowledge should always be free imo, especially information highly relevant to the future of mankind. Now, if you wrote a riveting piece of fiction I may be willing to be pay.

I've had bands give me their CDs free, and it takes me forever to get to listening to these free CDs. If I buy one, I immediately check it out - after all, I just paid for it.
In our society, free = worthless. I don't want this information to be seen as worthless. It's too important.
