[SR: 19975568], Paperback, [EAN: 9780955944000], Herms Press, Herms Press, Book, [PU: Herms Press], Herms Press, Religion - The Defamer of God brings together two perilous topics of conversation - organized religion and politics - and amalgamates them into a timely referenced, thoroughly researched, and topically refreshing book unrivaled by any other in its class that reveals how these two subjects have worked in perfect unison to form the modern world to where we are today in regards to global crime, terrorism, political servitude, the curtailment of individual freedom in democracy, a broken global economy, and the suppression of genuine faith and individual free-will - and this in a manner that is more relevant now than ever before in world history. Meet the new oppressors of personal freedom and emotional well-being that together instigate religious rivalries of terrorism and war, violent crime on our streets, the social exclusion of the innocent, and the condemnation of law-abiding citizens in everyday life. They have, in combination, caused democracy to corrode before our very eyes - while our own faith, or chosen lack thereof, is increasingly being controlled by the few in power, and by historical traditions and mindsets that do not work any more. Religion - no longer a true representation of personal faith as originally intended, but rather a politically charged, overbearing, and dangerous multi-cultural banner that drives national policies, international invasions, the curtailment of individual freedom and lifestyle - in combination with dishonest political forces utilizing media spin and the new dogma of political correctness - now maligns freedom of speech, genuine democracy, the struggling single parent, the oppressed woman, the loving same-sex relationship, the sexually liberated young person, the victim of street crime and global terrorism, the ignored desperate-hearted in our midst, the searcher of truth and justice, and the sincere seeker of faith - while mankind ambivalently acquiesces to the destruction of personal freedom, self-esteem, and its very self. Religion - The Defamer of God pulls no punches, and boldly suggests an alternative to both religion and political servitude - that being a personal faith of free will that refuses to be driven any longer by fear, political spin, pious tradition, social expectation, bad history, and political correctness - or alternatively, no false-hearted faith at all, when manifest as forced-upon and traditionally-based religiosity that only creates modern-day dictators, terrorist mass murderers, and self-righteous stumbling blocks to genuine faith in our workplaces, sanctuaries, communities, streets, societies, and nations in the modern 21st Century in which we fi nd ourselves in. A must read examination of where we have come from, where we are as a multicultural and ever shrinking planet, and where we are headed both socially and on an individual struggle to live free or die., 22, Religion & Spirituality, 12762, Agnosticism, 12764, Atheism, 12279, Buddhism, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 12506, Hinduism, 12522, Islam, 12540, Judaism, 12489, Literature & Fiction, 12621, New Age & Spirituality, 12689, Occult & Paranormal, 12735, Other Eastern Religions & Sacred Texts, 12761, Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts, 1873, Religious Art, 12779, Religious Studies, 12809, Worship & Devotion, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
