Let's Talk About Politics & Religion II

This book blatantly presents the facts on politics and religion. It begins by describing the philosophical schools of thought over our entire history, which sprouted the different political and religious movements. The discussion then centers on the political ideologies present today, such as communism, socialism, liberalism, libertarianism, and free trade. Then it chooses a few countries as representatives for each of these political ideologies and takes them through a simple analysis. The analysis consists of comparing the economic wealth, the liberties, and the desire to immigrate to these countries. The results of this analysis will surprise many. The discussion then centers onto religion. There is a logical progression which concludes that when we say religion, we really mean the writings about God. But then we are in a conundrum because we know there is only one God, yet there are many writings about God. So, the next step is to analyze the writings that claim to be the Word of God. Do they answer questions such as: How did everything get created? Why do we sin? Since sin separates us from God, what are we expected to do to get back into good graces with God? To determine the True Word of God, we should ask ourselves, which one is more credible? Which one makes more sense? Which one would I deposit my faith in? The next question this book attempts to answer is: does politics and God ever converge? It uses the "separation of church and state" argument as illustration on how a change of values over time affects the liberties that were once bastions revered in the entire world. What about those that do not believe in God? Well, the book engages in a long but informative discussion on the science-based arguments that support creationism. It also presents the arguments from a Buddhist point of view finding the weakness in their logic. How will things be near the end according to the Word of God? The Word of God is well known for its prophecies. This book takes key predictions of the future from different prophets to provide an idea of what is to come. You will be surprised to learn what it says.
