Freeeeee Book!

I want to promote my book a little so I am happy to give a PDF copy to the first 50 people that send me an e-mail requesting one.

If you're wondering what it's about: God-101 presents an insight into the history of religion from the earliest Animism to how the teachings of "Jesus" were overlaid with Greek philosophy, Pagan beliefs and Pauline thought to become the sayings of 'The Christ' and form the basis of our modern Bible.

God-101 also gives an analysis of how the priesthood and priest craft has corrupted Christianity and the other major religions.

It shows how “religious dogma” has led to the polarization of different sects within the same religion,(Catholic/Protestant – Shiite/Sunni) and how religious strife affects society as a whole, including the upcoming world – wide - clash between Christianity and Islam!

E-mail me at allanjanssen@rogers.com or www.God-101.com

If you would like a paperback or hardcover version, it is available for a nominal fee at Amazon.com; "The Plain Truth About God-101"

<-- <--FREE PDF BOOK ALSO AVAILABLE ON THIS SIDE!

Thank you so much for being the very first person I've come into contact with who actually gets history!

When you understand history/anthropology, the truth is simply logical, but believers sometimes have a difficult time with both history and logic. I've been saying for years that Xtianity is the 'original' cult.


Carolyn; Thank you, thank you. What a breath of fresh air to hear someone say that instead of calling me a Godless Bastard or Infidel.

The whole book is based on common sense and logic instead of superstition and dogma when looking at our belief systems.

It is my attempt to foster reason, not to denigrate religion.

FREEEEE BOOK!!!

I just got this in my e-mail after someone went to my site, www.God-101.com and read some of the quotations from the book, "The Plain Truth About God-101" (what the church doesn't want you to know!) Apparently this really upset him or her!

You will when you get there!
I will pray for your conversion to the blessed mother.


Well let me tell you something Pat. There is a hell on earth, and that is having to listen to assholes like you telling me I'm going to Hell because I don't believe what you do!!!!!

In other words, my God thinks your God is very intolerant!

However! I want to promote my book a little so I am happy to give a PDF copy to the first 50 people that send me an e-mail requesting one. (WARNING, COULD CAUSE HELL WITH YOUR AFTERLIFE!)

"I'm a little tea pot, short and stout!"

Dr. Richard Dawkins (whose thoughts are also responsible for one whole chapter in my book) is an avowed athiest.

He has come up with a story that has been widely circulated and I feel needs repeating here. (Even though I am just an Agnostic, or maybe Gnostic/Existentialist, or even Unitarian/Universalist! Remember, my book God-101 is about what God is NOT!)

He theory? If there were a "teapot" in orbit around the sun we would have no way of proving it, since it is much too small to see!

None the less that would not stop anyone from "believing" there really is a teapot out there. The fact that we can't see it doesn't automatically mean it doesn't exist!

So, when we get down to a matter of faith, or belief, - facts don't have much to do with anything.

Just because we can't see the teapot doesn't mean there is not one out there. Conversly our "belief" that one is out there has about as much to do with anything - as the price of tea in China!

(Thus the "teapot!" HA HA)

We also at one time or another chosen to beleive in Thor-God of Thunder, Odin, Zeus, (not Dr.Suess) astrology etc. etc.

Dr. Dawkins conclusion was this: "Since what we believe about things is so fluid and subjective we should only go with what we do know."
(Objective Science)

Since I was para-phrasing the good Doctor Dawkins I hope I got his meaning right. But there is one aurgument he has not taken into account and which I talked about in my book - and that was this: "We cannot prove nor disprove the existence of God because the one common denominator in all religions in the World is the NEED to have those beleifs in the first place."

So the end result is that we can in no way prove the existence (or not) of God, it is the common need for God that makes me suspect there is something to it!!!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

In my Book “God-101” I go to great lengths to explain that the book is not about religion, but rather, what religion is NOT!

Let me put it into a nutshell for all you squirrely people out there.

Never mind what God wants you to do. (And there IS a God, we just don’t know who, what, where, why, etc. ....................Why? Because it’s GOD stupid!)

Ours is not to question why, ours is just to do or die!

Forget trying to convert everyone else to being a good Christian, or Muslim, or Hindu, or American, or French, or anything else. That’s not your job!

Forget trying to explain what God wants, or needs, or thinks, that’s not your job!

Forget trying to proclaim a message in God’s name, that’s not our job!

Forget trying to petition God! (I’ll go out on a limb here and say that’s not God’s job!)

Forget worrying about the afterlife, that’s not our job! (It happens, or it doesn't!)

I could keep on going, but you get the idea.

Our job is to do the best we can!

Our job is to make life a little easier for everyone by “helping out” and being there when needed!

Our job is to live life, (and die) with a bit of class and a state of grace!

Our job is to show some maturity and put away childish things!

In other words it’s time we "grew up" as a Race and became responsible for ourselves instead of doing everything in “GOD"S NAME”

Allan W Janssen - from the book - The Plain Truth About God-101 what the church doesn’t want you to know!

Everyone needs something to believe in..... I believe I will have another beer!
