The God Desire - David Baddiel
David Baddiel wants to believe in God—a cosmic protector to fend off death. But in The God Desire, he argues that this intense longing is precisely why God likely doesn’t exist: anything so deeply needed, we’re bound to invent.
Blending humour, personal reflection, and sharp insight, Baddiel offers a fresh, human take on atheism—less a rejection of faith than an honest exploration of why we crave it. Thoughtful, funny, and deeply personal, this is philosophy with heart and bite.
