COMFORTABLE FALSEHOODS AND UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS is a presentation of nearly one hundred comfortable falsehoods pertaining to nearly thirty social, political, and economic issues (e.g., abortion, the death penalty, nuclear war, church-state relations, sports in America, obscenity, and euthanasia) and the uncomfortable truths contradicting them. The presentation is documented by nearly one thousand sources and nearly two hundred famous people are quoted in the book - including, for example, famous clergymen, athletes, scientists, government leaders, entertainers, political activists, philosophers, and authors.
