The information in this book can help set you free from the scary, apocalyptic message of the literalist Church We are told by the church that "man is born into sin and that only through the shedding of blood can he be saved." The true message is that humankind is created in the image of God and that we are "good." Humans do sin but not because of Adam and Eve or a serpent in a garden or an evil being called Satan. Humans have free will and often sin because of ignorance, greed, or lust. Those sins can be overcome through knowledge. Jesus said, "know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Jn. 8:32.
This book can be a start in freeing you from the ignorance, superstitions, legends, and deceit of the organized literalist church. Things are not always as they seem, and in Christianity, very little of what has been taught can be backed up with facts or history other than the history contrived by the Roman and Protestant churches. This book is about Nature's God, the true God, not the God created by ancient man and the organized church. It is about reason and about using the intelligence and common sense that God has given us which is the greatest gift that the Creator could possibly bestow. This book is for those who are seeking to know God more intimately and who long for the freedom that only truth can bring.
