Freedom From Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781585091164)

Have you ever wondered why religion can turn out to be as enslaving to people's minds as jails are to their bodies? Why is such enslavement not only welcomed, but why do the victims try so hard to enslave others? Why have more wars been fought over religion and more deaths of people caused by it than for any other reason? Why should we not want to break free from this terribly negative pattern? Jack Barranger addresses these problems and gives answers in this book. Being a trained theologian and former teacher of Critical Thinking, there is no better person to write this book. He believes that we have within us a "slave chip" that needs to be deprogrammed and brings us through the process, step by step. After presenting The Ten Commandments, he follows up with a powerful, parallel list called The Ten Realizations, which can be used as a blueprint for attaining our freedom and deprogramming us from negative behavior. It is often said that the most enslaved people are not even aware that they are in prison. With that in mind, this book will allow some of us to see the prison bars around us. As he states in the Introduction, "Beware: Reading this book could set you free."
