There are indeed things that go bump in the night...and it is usually me stubbing my toe on the door frame as I go to the bathroom at 3:00 A.M. The world on which we live, and ultimately the universe, is full of natural wonders and mysteries, and most of them make little or no sense when you look at them with a little bit of critical and rational thinking. Through the ages, we have assigned supernatural qualities to so many aspects of our world that too many people cannot tell fact from fiction. When you look at mysteries and phenomena from an anti-theistic standpoint, a whole new way at looking at them arises, or is that old superstitions and senseless stories seem to melt away leaving nothing behind because they had no true substance in the first place? This is not a book about religion, rather how religion has shaped our views on what we deem to be the supernatural, and what happens to those views when religion is subtracted from the equation. Ghosts, gods, alien visitations, vampires, werewolves, powers of the mind, magic, and strange creatures are just some of the topics covered in this short, to-the-point book dealing with what we humans deem "mysteries." Meant to be a quick, fun, and thought-provoking read, Explaining the Unexplainable may or may not change your mind, but it will make you think.

"To those searching for truth -- not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction -- faith in fiction is a damnable false hope." Thomas Edison Your refill is ready. The medicine is the Bitter Pill of Truth. Are you ready and willing to take it? This next installment of the Bitter Truth series is another dose of strong medicine for the believer and non-believer alike. Whether you are strong in your faith and want to see what new arguments are being brought forth, or if you are insecure and are having doubts about your Judeo-Christian faith, and even if you are among the heathen, heretical, and soulless lot that is without faith-like myself-part two of the Bitter Pill series is for you. Many books about faith, or the lack thereof, never take a good, hard look at God. Those that favor God are biased, but can you blame them? Those that discount God, or criticize Him...well, some are great and insightful works, but many pull punches. I do not. This book will entertain a slew of new and thought-provoking ways to study the character of God. Is God the kind, compassionate creator that His faithful present to the world, or is He something else? Is God on our side and does He have our best interests at heart, or is He the vain, jealous Lord and Master He proclaims Himself to be? If one is to truly examine the character and steadfastness of God, one must not wear kid gloves, and one must be able to dissect not just what is in the holy texts and dogma of the Judeo-Christian faith, but also one must look at history and the world all around us-nay, the universe. Get your glass of water, make sure your skin is nice and thick if you must, and get ready to delve into a character study of the Almighty as you have not seen before. The truth hurts...are you sure you want it?

Sometimes tough love is the best medicine for those who need it.
