The Plain Truth About God -- eBook Sample --- |
| Those who have studied American popular culture tell us that Religion has profoundly influenced the way we tell our stories, look for meanings, quest for transformations, imagine our futures, and hope for apocalyptic solutions to our problems. If Religion is that important to our culture, is it not strange that we have not questioned the reasons why? The list of issues currently under discussion includes the place of creationism in public schools, the role of women in our society, social attitudes towards various sexual orientations, Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations, theories of white supremacy, patriarchal institutions, the use of natural resources, the definition of family values, understanding violence, how best to relate to other cultures, and what responsibility we have for maintaining human rights around the world. Most of these issues could be discussed without referring to their religious heritage, but the Bible and the Koran are always lurking in the background, and positions have been taken that ultimately appeal to them as the final word. When that happens, thinking and reasonable discussion stop. We do not know how to proceed after Religion has been invoked. We are all complicit in letting a quote from the Bible or Koran count as an argument. (One of the reasons for our silence is that when confronted with a text from the Bible or Koran we simply do not know what to make of them and their contents.) Thus, we do not know what to say in response to those who use Religious text as an authority for their views. That is the stimulus for this book. |
