Could it be possible to find a liaison between imperialism and mystic dogmas?How is it possible to challenge the roots of religious intolerance? May those roots be underneath some angelical surface that proclaims love and peace? Is the fa?ade of theology generally known, but some paragraphs are misguiding?
Ricardo Sibilla explores the depths and potential origins of fanaticism that has been a part of our world since the beginning of time and continues to permeate today's society.
The author wrote this book for general readers, from those with a modest knowledge of Sacred Scripture to the many who have never read more than a few pages. Therefore, a basic introduction to the religious mind is required to discover the roots of zealots' aggressivity.
Some of the questions examined are: Is Sacred Scripture a history book? Was religious literature written at once and in one place? Is dogma more important than scientific observation? How did the human Jesus become a Divinity? Who decided that God dictated a manuscript written thousands of years ago? Why does religion endure? Could a myth be a political tool? Is zealots' violence vindicated by human texts or by God's words?
The answers are critical for the pious observers and the opponents of religions, plus transcendent for self-understanding.
Along the following chapters will emerge the thirty-one Mystical Steps guiding to justify violence. They are concealed among putative God's words, which end preaching peace while separating with ferocity believers from infidels; thus, unveiling them is essential to support social peace.
"Sibilla well understand that, for far too long, holy books have been used to justify perpetrating the most hideous cruelties on nonbelievers, and that humankind will not move on from such depravities until believers free themselves from the need to adhere to such inhumane exhortations." IndieReader.
"The book's astute analysis is made accesible to general readers with an engaging writing style that is accompanied by impressive interdisciplinary research and an eight-page bibliography. An acerbic, well-argued case against the undue influence of religion in public life." Kirkus Indie.
