Description
This book attempts to challenge several common barriers that many people posit as justification for why they do not or can not believe in God, whatever their definition of God. Whether the Abrahamic God of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, or the God of North American First Peoples or of Zoroastrianism or of Sikhism; or concepts of God as found in various African and Eastern religions.
The goal is not to proselytize or otherwise convince people either that God exists or to believe in God; rather, in its essence, the goal is an attempt to delve ever more deeply into truth and to eliminate things that get in the way ot it.
This writing was conceived originally with those individuals in mind who do not or no longer believe in the existence of God, are unsure, or have never really given much thought to the subject, due to one or more barriers that they might say prevent them from believing or considering belief. As many of those barriers of which the author is currently aware have been identified and addressed. Even those individuals who have never doubted the existence of God may find the read worthwhile and themselves intrigued by the variety of different takes presented on several aspects of the God-humankind dynamic.
Challenging the barriers identified in this writing is an effort to eliminate as many distractions as possible from the truth or not of people’s arguments and beliefs against the existence of God. And, in the process, to hopefully facilitate readers' own analyses of their own processes regarding this. The author's challenging is also a form of intellectual pursuit of truth. It is a serious and detailed attempt to strip away aspects of arguments that, upon close examination, appear false, or useless to the topic, and therefore only deny, minimize, or distract from truth, thus delaying arriving at it or at least getting closer to it.
Finally, while the author's religious tradition is Roman Caholicism, this work is not about Christianity or the Catholic Church. It is about God, the God of all humanity, not a subset of it. Any apparent bias in favor of a specific religion that makes its way somehow into the narrative, while obviously possible, would be unintentional and without awareness on his part, and, for the sake of truth, it would also be undesirable.
