Back cover text
During a time span covering over four decades, the author fought back, as best as he could, the religious indoctrination of both the Catholic and the Protestant churches that haunted him from his early life on, as well as that of the so-called esoteric schools to finally, at the end of a long trek, stumble upon a different approach to understanding God that satisfied his inquisitive mind.
His long search included also a period of atheism but it was to no avail for he now openly admits that “the ghost in the machine” does exist, although he conceives it in an entirely different way.
To his great astonishment, the author wound up challenging the core philosophical concepts underlying Religion, which coerced him to offer suggestions that might promote transformational effects on society as a whole in the long run.
He also looks into the reasons that make human beings so prone to Religion and discloses why churches will continue to thrive, in spite of his new approach to understanding and relating to God.
An essay written to expose some surprising novel viewpoints with regard to God and Religion where open confrontation and denouncing have been resorted to only when deemed utterly necessary.
