• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"All God Worshippers Are Mad: a little book of sanity" seeks to demonstrate in a logical common sense manner that the fundamental beliefs held by all monotheists are incomprehensible and lunatic. It attempts to show that god worshippers themselves do not understand the things they claim to believe, and by which they live their lives. Then it goes on to draw attention to why this matters so urgently in our own era, with the global rise of religious fascism.

What is said in this little book will no doubt be found impolite and overly-provocative by those authoritarian people within the politically correct establishment who conflate morality with niceness. They will probably utter the familiar refrain that we ought not to denigrate other people's deeply and sincerely held beliefs. Instead we should live in a permanent state of apology for the crime of having minds of our own.

But religions are not above criticism and they have no right to a special status. Just because they claim a special status doesn't mean that they're entitled to it. Religions can and should be challenged like any other political ideologies. Besides which, large numbers of god worshippers feel free to denigrate and insult everyone else's deeply held beliefs and values, so why should they have special permission to be hypocrites?

Autorenporträt

JP Tate was born into a working class family way back in the winter of 1961 and has spent the last fifty-three years coping with being alive in the world. It wasn't his idea. He spent the first decade of his adult life in unskilled labouring jobs before escaping to become a philosophy student. Over the next ten years he earned four university degrees including a PhD and became the wise old sage of the west. These days he is pursuing his desire to write, it being the most effective and satisfying way he has yet found to handle that same old pesky business of coping with being alive in the world. His chief literary preoccupations concern defending individual freedom of speech and freedom of thought, the socially divisive character of multiculturalism, the disintegration of Western European ethnicities, the unacknowledged misandry in society, and defending sexual freedom. All his writing, whether in fiction or non-fiction, takes a consistently anti-establishment attitude and is therefore certain to provoke the reactionaries of political correctness.
