Let's talk about Politics & Religion

This book analyzes the various schools of thought, both political and religious, puts them through a logical analysis of the facts, and answers the following questions: Which are the most beneficial political systems for the majority of people? Which political system has failed every time it has been applied? Why is there a separation of church and state? Is it possible to discuss religion? If there is one God, why are there so many religions? Which are the religious writings that claim to be of God? Are we able to discern among these writings which one holds the Truth? What is Truth? What does the True word of God really say? What does the word of God say about our history and our future?

This book is about blatantly presenting the facts on politics and religion. It begins by presenting the philosophical schools of thought over our entire history, which sprouted the different political and religious movements. The discussion then centers on the political ideologies present today, such as communism, socialism, liberalism, libertarianism, and free trade. Then it chooses a few countries as representatives for each of these political ideologies and takes them through a simple analysis. The analysis consists of comparing the economic wealth, the liberties, and the desire to immigrate for the citizens of each of these countries. The results of this analysis will surprise many.

The discussion then centers onto religion. There is a logical progression that concludes that when we say religion, we really mean the writings about God. But then we are in a conundrum because there should be one God, yet there are many writings about God. So, the next step is to analyze the writings that claim to be the Word of God. Do they answer questions such as: How did everything get created? Why do we sin? Since sin separates us from God, what are we expected to do to get back into good graces with God? To determine the True Word of God, we should ask ourselves, which one is more credible? Which one makes more sense? Which one would I deposit my faith in?

The next question this book attempts to answer is: does politics and God ever converge? It uses the "separation of church and state" argument as illustration on how a change of values over time affects the liberties that were once bastions revered in the entire world.

What about those that do not believe in God? Well, the book engages in a long but informative discussion on the science-based arguments that support creationism. It also presents the arguments from a Buddhist point of view finding the weakness in their logic.

How will things be near the end according to the Word...
