I wrote this book because I, like most people in this world have
been bombarded with religion my whole life. There are crosses
everywhere we look, anti-vaxxers using religion to justify their
dangerous conduct, Jesus peddlers knocking on our doors,
politicians spouting ridiculousness and influencing our laws, as
well as family and friends forming conclusions based on a diluted
version of reality. This book is a laymen's attempt to take a
comprehensive and critical look at religion and superstition in our
world. We know too much. Advancements in our understanding of
science and history are fundamentally incompatible with the myths
that are propagated by today's religions. This book conclusively
demonstrates why we must let go of the childish fables of world.
Taking an irreverent and sarcastic tone, "The god that Cried Wolf"
clearly demonstrates why all religions and superstitions draw false
conclusions about how our world functions. It will be best received
by those people whom already have a skeptical mind. However if this
book is read entirely from cover to cover, any religious or
superstitious person will be able to clearly see why they can no
longer put stock into their particular myth. It also illuminates
why religious and superstitious moderates help perpetuate and
provide security for the extremists. This book is a call to action
for everyone to start living in a rational and logical state of
being. The intent is to create a world without frivolous and
dangerous forces which bear no validity and to remove these
fraudulent influences from causing the many poor behaviors people
carry out in the name of their particular religion. If a person
honestly and actually reads this book with an open mind in its
entirety, they will no longer be a believer in god, religion and
superstition by the time they finish reading it.
Despite the frightening title this is a comforting book. The reason
is that there are no reasons why you and your loved ones will go to
hell. This book is a joke that worries religious people until they
open it. It's an inexpensive gift for Christians and atheists.
Inside they'll find a hundred blank pages they can use for notes
and addresses.
Agnosticism, Atheism, and Non-religious persons have similar views
on spirituality. Agnosticism is a faith system that holds that
there is no definitive evidence that a spiritual being exists. It
is a non-exclusive faith system associated with physics. Some
Atheists similarly believe there isn't anything in the spiritual
realm. Non-Religious persons don't think of spirituality in any
sense. This book gives an overview of these faith and non-faith
systems that can be understood on a conversational level. This book
includes a section for notes and keeping a journal. This book is
presented by (ULCMM) The Universal Life Church Monastery of
Massachusetts.
Every year more of us including 1 in 3 young adults are leaving
religion behind. They are now America's largest and fastest growing
minority, bar none. Motivated by the author's own journey from
pulpit rabbi to being one of them, Transcenders: Living beyond
religion and the religion wars presents both the reasons why so
many have turned from religion and the challenges they face in a
country where religion is the assumed default. Part of that default
is seen in branding those without religion as nonbelievers, a term
Prinz labels a pejorative suggesting they have no beliefs. Nothing
could be further from the truth. So he puts forth "transcenders," a
name to more accurately identify those who have opted to move on
from religion. The book explores god-invention, individual
identity, truth, purpose, immortality, community and wonder along
with what lies ahead for transcenders in the years to come. It
speaks without anger to and for transcenders and equally to those
who want to understand why so many have left religion behind.
