Mid-west Humanists – An Irish Atheist Community

I’m confused. What the bleep is going on at Amazon? I was just browsing through their history section and was shocked at some of the dreck that showed up in the first couple of pages. By way of example –

• Forbidden History: Extraterrestrial Intervention, Prehistoric Technologies, and the Suppressed Origins of Civilization by J. Douglas Kenyon
• The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return (The Earth Chronicles) by Zecharia Sitchin
• The Element Encyclopaedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts by Judika Illes

All complete pseudo-science and nonsense and they aren’t the only examples. I realise that Amazon is a business and will sell whatever people want to buy but this is just beyond a joke. Have we really reached the point where this bunkum passes for history?

OK, rant over. I just had to vent.
