Religion And Sprituality
The firstborn half of the book looks at how we as a civilization got to where we are in both our physical and spiritual development.
It gives a brief history of the development of religion and spirituality.
The second half allows us to take a long look at ourselves as a persons and a civilization. It examines our religious beliefs and the exercises of the “priesthood” that have made our world here in the twenty firstborn century the way it is!
From the Great Flood to the Legend of Atlantis, this book looks at the great truths as well as the myths and legends that have shaped our lives.
In these pages, we will consider in detail the story of Jesus and Muhammad, the rise of Christianity and Islam, and the forces that have shaped our religions (Both East and West) over the centuries.
The list of issues beneath discussion also includes the place of creationism in public schools, the role of women in our society, social complex mental states towards respective sexual orientations, Jewish-Christian relations, theories of white supremacy, patriarchal institutions, the use of natural resources, the definition of family values, understanding violence, how best to relate to other cultures, and what obligation we have for sustaining humane rights around the world.
One of the reasons for our silence when confronted with a text from the Bible is that we merely do not know what to make of the Bible and it is contents. We do not recognise what to say in response to those who use the Bible as an authority for their views.
When that happens, thinking and reasonable discussion stop. We do not know how to proceed after the Bible has been invoked. We are all complicit in letting an appeal to the Bible count as an argument.
This is an argument that it unwinnable!
