What Will The Future Hold?
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books, impacted the way I choose to live my life. He introduced me to seeing the world through different eyes. I loved The Cash Flow Quadrant the most. Now, in short 20 chapters, Chris Martenson has summarised many of the ideas Kiyosaki had been writing about and he does so by getting right into the details. In a Crash Course that took him 4 years to create and research, he is now distributing it for free.
Take The Crash Course now. What is it about? It is about how our economy, our ever-dwindling supply of oil and our exhausted resources may eventually culminate in disaster. Similar ideas have been explored by Peter Joseph in his film The Zeitgeist Addendum. I was thinking of writing another book about these issues but people like Peter Joseph and Chris Martenson are expressing and distributing these ideas very effectively. The least I could do is to refer people to watch their works.
One of the reasons why I wrote The Tyranny Of God was to introduce and argue the idea that there is no God to take care of us. The fate and destiny of humanity and its planet depend entirely on us. Many of our religious beliefs hinder and distract us from recognising and understanding our predicament as a species existing in an indifferent universe.
The Tyranny Of God
Paperback Edition
Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?
This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.
The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.
REVIEW
"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
