To Garret the Aspiring Christian Missionary

The Abrahamic Religions Are False (If the Bible is True)

By Todd Olsen

Overview

When Garret, not yet emancipated from his wealthy parents, decided he wanted to continue his Christian Missionary Training, he followed the tradition of his Christian culture and decided it was most appropriate to beg for dollars from friends and neighbors rather than use the family bank. One neighbor, rather than give him money, offered to reason with him and offered to demonstrate that a belief in the Judeo-Christian ethic leads to illogical behavior. Rather than invest his money, this neighbor offered to invest his time to ask questions, consider evidence and share ideas. Garret never took the neighbor up on the offer. "To Garret the Aspiring Christian Missionary" is waiting for Garret if he ever decides to call.

Description

When Garret, not yet emancipated from his wealthy parents, decided he wanted to continue his Christian Missionary Training, he followed the tradition of his Christian culture and decided it was most appropriate to beg for dollars from friends and neighbors rather than use the family bank. One neighbor, rather than give him money, offered to reason with him and offered to demonstrate that a belief in the Judeo-Christian ethic leads to illogical behavior. Rather than invest his money, this neighbor offered to invest his time to ask questions, consider evidence and share ideas. Garret never took the neighbor up on the offer. "To Garret the Aspiring Christian Missionary" is waiting for Garret if he ever decides to call. This short book is an introduction to a much larger study that takes more than a lifetime to complete. This book points to Book 2, which introduces an approach to all 10,000 religions and all 7 core branches of philosophy to begin to compare and contrast the major claims of each for the purpose of seeking and conforming to Truth.

About The Author

With four grown children and an empty nest, Todd and his wife of 28 years try to homestead on a 40 acre farm in the Midwest. When the children were small the weight of Truth struck hard when at the age of eight Todd's son asked to be baptized in the name of Jesus while holding a concurrent and equal belief in Santa Clause. Todd took full responsibility for that intellectual problem and began in earnest to consider, measure and compare every religion and philosophy in an effort to find and conform to Truth. He taught his children all he found in the hopes that when the day would come his children could sit down with the atheist and explain atheism better than the atheist, pantheism better than the pantheist, and theism better than the theist. Interestingly, it was with Garret's father that Todd first shared his findings almost twenty years ago, to no intellectual avail. The search and the test continues with anyone who suspects they have yet to find the final answer.
