RELIGION:: NUMBING THE MASSES AND ITS CONSEQUENTIAL EFFECTS

By Janice Schofield Eaton

Book Overview

How can one account for the existence of the cosmos? What are good and evil? Why is the universe the way it is? Are there valid arguments for believing in God?: these and other important questions are addressed in the first chapter of this work, a text easily accessible to any inquisitive reader looking for insights into the kinds of questions asked and answered in the field known as the Philosophy of Religion

The book also attempts at demonstrating how, close to linear time, religion has been exploited as a societal control tool. Through immediately looking at particular sections of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Rome some of the earliest usages may be discovered. More contemporary conceptions like the reformation and Marxist theories focus on how they progressed towards what is being witnessed in the present day.

In RELIGION, NUMBING THE MASSES AND ITS CONSEQUENTIAL EFFECTS, Religious consequences and horrific acts and practices by numerous Religions are also briefly mentioned. Some key battles on the religious basis are also succinctly mentioned.
