de la Bible, une divinité qui n'est pas le Dieu unique des trois religions monothéistes mais un dieu parmi d'autres, du nom de Iahvé, conçu comme le dieu national des seuls Juifs. Il relate ensuite, sans référence aucune au surnaturel, la généalogie du dieu Dieu, telle qu'il l'a reconstituée à partir des acquis de la recherche scientifique. Il explique enfin pourquoi cette croyance peut porter plus que d'autres à l'extrémisme et à la violence, comme on l'a vu avec les Croisades, l'Inquisition ou les Guerres de religion, et comme on le voit de nos jours avec les conflits du Moyen-Orient, sans compter l'influence, indirecte mais bien réelle, de l'idéologie monothéiste sur le nazisme et le communisme, ces deux fléaux du siècle passé.

passe dans son tordeur une quarantaine de sujets avec perspicacité et humour, cette question toute simple invite à revoir toutes les décisions qui ont un effet direct sur notre compte de banque. Au Québec, l'analphabétisme financier et la consommation à outrance influent négativement sur l'existence de chacun. Pour aider à voir les choses d'un oeil neuf, En as-tu vraiment besoin? place un miroir réaliste devant nos choix de vie et leurs conséquences.

Il propose de brillants mécanismes d'autodéfense contre la société de consommation et la naïveté financière. Avec deux grands objectifs en tête: définir le comportement d'un citoyen responsable financièrement; puis, donner au lecteur, enfin, un peu plus de cette liberté dont il a vraiment, tellement, carrément besoin. 2016.Histoires de fric: comment éviter les pires erreurs grâce à celles des autres
