Maybe you were born to Christian parents and raised as a Christian.
Or maybe you are just a part of a Christian nation. You might have
attended church regularly, or maybe just on special occasions. If
asked, you say that you believe in God, but you really never
thought about what that means exactly. You are a well-educated
person who accepts the idea of Biblical miracles, but only the more
"reasonable" ones. You have read some of the Bible, mostly just
parts of the New Testament, but never committed to reading the
Bible cover to cover. You are a good person who admires the many
"Christian values" as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. But something
does not feel right. * Science tells us that the universe is 13.7
billion years old, but the Bible tells us it's 6,000 years old. *
Science tells us life is the result of emergent properties in
combined molecules, and we have evolved from a very primitive life
form, but the Bible says that God made us, as is, from dust, and
blew life in our noses. * You see a world where little bunnies burn
to death in forest fires, and wonder why an all-good and loving God
would allow such a thing to happen. * You pray to God and you
realize that sometimes your prayers are answered, and sometimes
they aren't just as if you didn't pray at all. * You hear about
other religions and wonder why your religion is right and every
other religion on the planet is wrong. * You have a real problem
with the idea of all your non-Jesus-believing friends and family
spending eternity in Hell.? In fact, the more you look around, the
more you see a world absent of this perfect image of a perfect God.
As much as you want to avoid critical thinking and "just let go and
have faith," you find that you cannot believe in something contrary
to your logic and reason no matter how much you want to. This might
lead to feelings of guilt, insincerity, and/or hypocrisy. Yet you
just can't imagine living life without God, and you don't have to.
When you start asking serious questions about God and religion, you
begin to see through the stories of people living inside the
stomachs of big fish, 900-year-old men, and bodies coming back to
life after three days, and understand how man created God, and not
the other way around. By daring to question "sacred" religion,
challenging your childhood beliefs, and risking eternal damnation
(okay, so there might be a minor side effect to reading this book),
you will discover an appreciation for religion on a new level, as
well as a renewed appreciation for the human race. Through a unique
blend of science, philosophy, theology, and a touch of humor, you
will see how you can trust your logic and reason, be true to
yourself, and embrace God -- not as a being, but as a concept --
The Concept.
