About
This book was written from a layman's point of view with no bias toward religion or academia. The human instinct to worship a superior being and the consequence of this attribute are evaluated by the author. Ever since humans have evolved to the level of consciousness, where we started to ask ourselves the question "Who am I?", we conceptualized a god, who made it all happen.
These existential concepts that we have correctly or erroneously adopted come with confusion and contradictions. Does an anthropomorphic god, who is loving and caring, allow or cause a tsunami or pandemic to kill millions of people? Would the same loving and caring god allow one group of people to use his name to facilitate the dehumanization, pillaging, and mass killing of another group of people?
The answers to these questions are usually not objectively explored because of religious and cultural biases.
