Help identifyig the author of 'Mystery 666'

[Graham2001]

A guy at work has started bringing in a book entitled 'Mystery 666', it looks fairly old and battered and appears to have been self or vanity published.

No author is given but the cover features the 'eye in the pyramid' of the US dollar bill inside a red 'swirl' pattern.

A short note on the cover makes reference to the malign intentions of communists, atheists and illuminati.

I know it's a stretch, but can anyone tell me who the author is and what evidence I might need to counter the claims in the book, the person who bought it in has been passing it around and getting approving noises from the other staff...

The author is Don E. Stanton, founder of the Maranatha Revival Crusade (http://www.maranathamrc.com/)

Athiests have no malign intentions. They just want to end the savage tyrrany frauds like religion have over the human condition. They are memes that create a mental model of reality that, mentally, justifies certain actions that, in reality, are nasty, but beneficial to the groups (and leaders) touting this meme.

Causing the death of such a defacto disease that plagues 95%+ of humanity is hardly something I'd call malign. Holy, perhaps, on a scale of goodness the thug Yahweh of the Bible would scarcely understand. But malign, never.

Btw, I don't attack "God" by pretending he doesn't exist. I use claims by the religious of his properties as evidence against him, right on the face of it.

It is up to those making claims to support them, not up to you to "disprove" his speculations.

Suggest that the book's author is either delusional, confused, easily mislead, or deliberately lying* in order to generate sales over this "controversy." If he asks how do you know, demand that he prove the guy isn't faking it for sales, to make the point to him.
