Is God a delusion? Barrister Charles Taylor examines the evidence
in this very readable book. His findings will be controversial to
some but offer hope and insight to others. We are the only species
unable to live in harmony with our environment and each other. The
asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is nothing compared with our
impact on the Earth. We are currently responsible for "The Sixth
Great Extinction" of wildlife. Religious terrorism is widespread,
though current atrocities are dwarfed by the bloody record of
Christianity. The Middle East is destabilised and to East and West
we have Presidents Putin and Trump. So called 'rational' thinking
and the dominance of our left brains have brought us to the brink
of disaster. We need a spiritual revolution allowing individuals to
reconnect with their right brain, intuition and spirit. Religions
have had their day. They contain key truths, but these truths are
usually obscured by manmade rules constructed to gain wealth and
power. At the other extreme, materialism denies God, the spirit,
free will, consciousness and love. Happily, the facts contradict
this dispiriting left brained faith that we are deluded robots
stumbling through life.
