Synopsis

Mixing fiction with non-fiction, the author takes the reader on a ride through what irks him enough to write about, first in religion/theology and then in science, and includes the ideas that Abraham is a model for relating to God; an anti-dualistic bias is superior to the belief in the survival of the soul; the insistence that scripture is to be defended at all costs; the notion that theology can be systematized; the doctrine of the (paradoxical) atonement is simply a matter of faith; humans have no bearing on climate; evolution can only occur gradually; purity of race is an attainable goal; there is no serious competitor to materialism; mediums and spiritists are reliable guides to what the afterlife holds; and artificial intelligence poses little threat. The short stories are provided to offer lighter fare to the weightier topics in the non-fiction sections. The second such story has also been adapted into a film posted on YouTube.
