The Unway (Paperback)


Not for the faint of heart, powerfully negative in the light of religious belief; an essay written specifically for those of us who are ready to leave "belief" behind; an assist in the transition from religion to atheism. If you're on the borderline between religious belief and the unknown, this is a must read. It provides arguments both new and old from a person just like you. It is written by a mechanic who works with his hands day in and day out. Not an academic scholar, not a scientist, but an ordinary person, living an ordinary life just like you. An emotional, family oriented, middle age atheist, who used to be religious. If you're ready to think deeply about your convictions concerning a belief in God then this book is for you. The next chapter points a finger at the concept of "Christian morality" questioning the integrity of moral constructs as they relate to the Old Testament. It then moves to "human suffering" and finishes with a scathing indictment of modern "preachers." The third chapter brings a focus on history and how mythology connects to early (Old Testament) ideas about religious belief. Found in the third chapter as well, is a comparison of Christ with other deities in the region, both during and before his supposed existence. The book finishes with an essay about tomorrow. What "faith" means to an atheist and thoughts on self reliance. It's rich in subject matter and full of frankness and sincerity. Please, enjoy it. Thanks.
