Synopsis

Many devout Christians will not like this book as I have discovered that they are neither interested, nor concerned with anything which challenges their long taught beliefs. I did not make history, but merely write on its historical significance in the events of mankind. For those truth seekers who are interested in the 'Why' regarding religious beliefs, this book offers a genesis of Christian beliefs. Religion is a multi-million dollar a year business, and world wide, that figure runs into the billions. Is the true nature of faith focused on mankind or merely a financial endeavor? Extraordinary care has been taken to present the good, and the bad, as well as the ugly side of religion.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Today, almost all the major Christian sects tell their followers what they can or cannot read. The truth could be disastrous to their faith. In 1562, the Vatican established a special censoring office called Index Expurgatorius, whose sole purpose was to prohibit the publication of “Erroneous Passages of the Early Church Fathers,” which carried statements opposing their modern-day dogma. The Word is whatever the Christian Church says it is and when Vatican archivists came across “genuine copies of the Church Fathers, they corrected [edited, added, abridged, condensed, and supplemented] them according to the Expurgatory Index” (Index Expurgatorius Vaticanus, R. Gibbings, ed., Dublin, 1837; The Literary Policy of the Church of Rome, Joseph Mendham, J. Duncan, London, 1830, 2nd ed., 1840; The Vatican Censors, op. cit., p. 328). But throughout history, few but the great thinkers of society understood this symbiotic relationship of politics and religion, and those who spoke out became stigmatized by both the powerful priesthood and the ruling oligarchy. “You sniveling priest, you are imposing delusions upon society for your own aggrandizement” (Voltaire, French philosopher, rationalist, free thinker). ________________________________________ All developed societies are but an extension of the political views of the ruling oligarchy upon the many, the suffering poor. “If every criminal and inhumane act ever committed were traced to its root cause, that root would be buried deep in religion” (Sherry Matulis, activist, 1931). ________________________________________ The most infamous Catholic of the all time, one of history’s great mass murderers, Hitler, realizes the symbiotic relationship between children and religion and puts it succinctly in the twentieth century: “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation” (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf)."

Biographie de l'auteur

"Mr. Reyes was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Contracting infantile poliomyelitis at about three years of age, he was confined to an iron lung for a long period of time, then wore braces from his chest down to his feet with Canadian crutches to assist him in walking again. Always fascinated about the subject of religion, he has endeavored to research the truth and has often come under the wrath of the fundamentalists. Mr. Reyes, in his books, goes back to the beginnings of Christianity, its impact upon society, and how it spread across the world."
