Religious Reason (eBook)

The time has come for a new renaissance in our understanding of God and religion. Human knowledge has evolved to the point that unless the various faiths, especially the Christian faith is not taught and understood in light of this knowledge, we will begin to see more and more people abandon any kind of faith at all in search of something more, something more real. People are seeking - they are seeking the truth and the truth is hard to find in our churches today. What you will find are the same outdated, superstitious, supernatural, bloody, incredible, illogical stories that have been proclaimed for centuries, in most instances without any evidence as to their validity. We are told simply to accept them on faith. Faith is the belief in things unseen, but that faith must be based on reason and on the assumption that it adheres to the laws of Nature. I have discovered some amazing facts in my search for truth and the knowledge and the understanding I have gained has been well worth the effort of my seeking. Some of this knowledge is both life-changing and freeing. As you read this book, I think you will come to understand that God is much more than you ever thought yet nothing like you have been taught. You will come to see that Jesus is not at all what you have been taught and you will understand that the Holy Spirit is a natural part of each human being. Things are not always as they seem and when it comes to religious beliefs, you will find that to be so very true.

The information in this book can help set you free from the scary, apocalyptic message of the literalist Church? We are told by the church that "e;man is born into sin and that only through the shedding of blood can he be saved."e; The true message is that humankind is created in the image of God and that we are "e;good."e; Humans do sin but not because of Adam and Eve or a serpent in a garden or an evil being called Satan. Humans have free will and often sin because of ignorance, greed, or lust. Those sins can be overcome through knowledge. Jesus said, "e;know the truth, and the truth will make you free."e; Jn. 8:32. This book can be a start in freeing you from the ignorance, superstitions, legends, and deceit of the organized literalist church. Things are not always as they seem, and in Christianity, very little of what has been taught can be backed up with facts or history other than the history contrived by the Roman and Protestant churches. This book is about Nature's God, the true God, not the God created by ancient man and the organized church. It is about reason and about using the intelligence and common sense that God has given us which is the greatest gift that the Creator could possibly bestow. This book is for those who are seeking to know God more intimately and who long for the freedom that only truth can bring.
