This Is A New Release Of The Original 1878 Edition.

Every statement that a person makes is either true or false-that is, a lie. In his comprehensive study, "Lies Have Ruined the World," author Dennis Proux seeks to expose the dishonesty, myths, and fabrications provided by powerful influences in the most important areas of our lives, including religious institutions, government, and our legal system.

Proux feels that all humans yearn to be free to discover their own worlds and realize their full potential. While relying on the wisdom and insight from such authors as Charles Darwin, Thomas Paine, Carl Sagan, and countless others, Proux offers a compelling glimpse into the lies surrounding western monotheistic religions, Wall Street, and our nation's government and justice system. As he examines biblical tales, reveals corruption within our society, and dissects many painful realities, Proux offers insight and potential solutions that will ultimately inspire a life based on fact and honesty, rather than on fiction and lies.

"Lies Have Ruined the World" encourages seekers of the truth to explore their own perceptions of the failure of western institutions to garner and hold trust.

Sprinkled throughout this book is a rebuttal to Richard Dawkins book, "The God Delusion." In addition to that, however, there is a strong message for the Christian Church. Over time, the Church has allowed much to dilute Christ's message and gets fairly caught up in social activities, food, musical events, more food, and bringing in the lost by giving them, yes, food, rather than spending much time equipping the Body of Christ with the tools to follow Jesus' commands ("If you love Me," He said, "follow my commands ") We tend to avoid the tasks before us that are the most difficult. High on the list of things to NOT do, because they are too hard, is love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, die to self, swallow pride, and be a humble servant of God. We have no excuse to avoid Jesus' commands any longer. The TRUE Christian rubber must hit the road. God has given His Church reason to unite in prayer in the three New Atheists who brandish swords of unbelief, as they ride their black steeds through the courtyards of the Christian Church. Through this Biblical based book, the Christian will receive encouragement to "pray through" until the job is accomplished and the three New Atheists are brought to their knees, not by our cleverness, not by our threats, not by our preaching, nor by our curses-but by our prayers to the Almighty God of the Bible, which Christians will once again discover, is the most powerful force in the universe. Once the Christians see the power of God bring the atheists to their knees, which will happen when the Church unites in prayer for them, they will understand that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens them-all things the Lord commands we do, CAN be done, through Him The Atheist Delusion can lead to some mighty intense discussions. The atheists tend to think this spiritual discussion is the most ridiculous thing in the world. If one aggressive godless soul comes to the Lord, it will have been worth it.

The union of classical agnosticism and traditional Christianity has produced a more contemporary "middle of road Christianity." This book presents numerous facts about history and theology in an easy to understand manner. It also re-introduces us to the badly misunderstood theology of agnosticism and introduces us to Contemporary Agnosticism. Presented are Jesus' teachings after intense historical and scientific analysis.
Contemporary agnostics consider Jesus a great visionary and wandering sage but no more the son of God than any of us. With that in mind, the reader is urged to appreciate various contemporary religious principles, not because they'll go to a mythical hell if they don't, but because of its positive effect on the individual and society.
Christian history and theology are candidly scrutinized providing the reader with a tremendous amount of reference material.

How is it that billions of human beings continue to believe that there are mysterious deities hovering over us concerned with what we say, what we eat, and how we behave, and apparently with the ability to create the entire universe from its beginning, but can't seem to find a cure for the common cold; never mind disease, disaster, and destruction on a global scale? Author Richard F. Wright offers the answer in the form of his analysis of the prophets who created lies of such enormous proportions that humankind can't seem to unravel itself from the myths, mysteries, and mindlessness. Wright wrote the book initially as a letter to his wife Patti, acknowledging that she had figured out for herself, quickly and accurately, that there are no such things as deities and that organized religion ruins everything. After an extended review of the literature on the topic, Wright confirmed for himself, what his wife already knew, that his feelings over the years were justified; that organized religion was utter nonsense and there are no such things as deities worthy of worship. His review of seven major prophets confirms there is a pattern to the fraud they perpetrate in the name of their deities. Wright cautions those who still believe in deities and can't imagine life without a church that this book is not for them. It's for those who know, or suspect, that atheism is more natural and accurate as a life stance than anything to be gained from any organized religion. The World's Seven Biggest Liars exposes the lies the prophets spread and how it is that humankind has been and continues to be their victims.

Written by a natural scientist, this book is an essay on universal consciousness, which the author explores using a comparative approach borrowed from the neurosciences and Physics. A super sentient being, God is relative to a level of organization and is necessarily hidden for sentient beings of lower levels.

This book is a joke. It's not a joke about Jesus and nothing derogatory is printed about him. In fact the front and back covers are very complimentary toward Jesus. The front cover says Remember Jesus Loves you and when you open the book the first page jumps out at you. It says in big, bold type "Everyone else thinks you're a cunt." The rest of the pages are intentionally left blank. You can order this book from Amazon and have it delivered to the person the joke is aimed at. It's real fun watching someone unwrap and open this book when you hand it to them as a gift. It's guaranteed to shock and make people laugh.
