Religion Myths

The stories in Hindu myth stem from traditions within Hinduism, drawing on stories from ancient texts, like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Keep in mind that because different versions of Hinduism inspire different people, many different versions of the stories float through the jungle and over the stones of temples and traditions. The stories in this volume are my version, though I’ve stuck as closely to the original myths and legends as imagination allows.

It begins with a kind of “Biblical Monotheism 101”—answering questions like “What is the Bible?”, “Who is God?”, and “What is The Trinity?”, and goes on to establish that according to the Bible only the Father is God—not His son and not His holy spirit. The book is not preachy. It doesn’t attempt to tell its listeners what to think. Rather, it presents the often overlooked evidence and reasonings which support the Non-Trinitarian understanding of the Biblical God, and then leaves it to the listener to form their own opinion.

As a student in the rigorous environment of the Jesuits College in Lebanon, my inquisitive nature often placed me at odds with authority figures; my penchant for challenging established norms was not always met with enthusiasm, and as a result, I faced my fair share of reprimands. Yet, it was this very spirit of inquiry that fueled my journey into writing this book. ...

Uncovering the Myth of Spiritual Covering is adapted from a chapter of the widely disseminated book, Charismatic Captivation - Authoritarian Abuse & Psychological Enslavement in Neo-Pentecostal Churches. That book exposes the widespread problem of authoritarian abuse that has been flourishing virtually unabated for decades since it was first infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of the Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal church during the false movement known as the Discipleship/Shepherding Movement (1970-77).
