Beware of Talking Snakes: Religion's Failure to Achieve World Peace
by Carlton W. Laird

Description
"As young people are introduced to religion, no one mentions to them religion's long history of abuses of power, religion's belief in a flat Earth, its centuries-long obstruction of education, or religion's execution of persons holding different views of the world." (excerpt) In this jeremiad against the power structures of religion, Carlton W. Laird argues not only that the events outlined in Christian Scripture are highly improbable, but that religion itself has corrupted our world by show more presenting a God who condones violence and sexual immorality. However, Laird maintains that "hope remains as long as freedom of through and expression exists." Only by educating the masses, downsizing our armies, and engaging in active population control does Laird believe our problems can be solved. show lessTags
