Description
This book contains the fruits of a Scripture study that took the author on a journey from the position of Fundamentalist Christianity into the mental realms of Freethinking. Far from representing the "Good Book," the author concludes that the Bible is actually a terrorist manifesto from the ancient Near East, containing graphic descriptions of cold blooded murder, beheadings, child sacrifice, and cultural genocide committed by early Hebrews under the command of a militaristic totem god named YHWH, whose priesthood sought world domination and the extermination of all "Pagan" religions. Within the pages of Outgrowing the Bible, readers will discover that: The actual character of the Biblical God is that of an abusive husband and Black Magician. The story of Jesus is but the latest version of the oldest religious motif in the history of the world. Many prior "savior" stories from around the world parallel the myths of the New Testament. Many Hebrew patriarchs, such as Moses and Joshua, were murderous pirates by today's standards. Early Judaism included the use of many varieties of psychedelic and narcotic plants. Judaic prophecy and eschatology was often plagiarized from other religions, and refer to events long buried in the sands of the Near East. The Ten Commandments were derived from a pre-existing moral code that developed over time, were entirely human in origin, and are outdated. Many liturgical elements and artifacts of early Judaism (i.e. the Ark of the Covenant) were copied from the Sun-worshipping cults of ancient Egypt. Outgrowing the Bible contains hundreds of Scriptural quotes, along with a feast of information to challenge those who insist that the Bible is the absolute, infallible "Word of God." This book also debunks philosophical positions that are commonly based on the Bible, such as: recent Creationism; the Fall of Man; male supremacy; repressive sexuality; the "Right to Life" movement; the "War on Drugs"; homophobia; and the insidious notion that the world is currently headed toward an inevitable, global holocaust. Outgrowing the Bible provides a fresh look at the actual content of the books that compose the modern Bible, most of which are of unknown authorship. This book also investigates the psychological processes involved with a major change in personal philosophical outlook, and offers words of encouragement to those who are trapped within the bondage of biblical doctrines.
