I was unhappy with this novel so I reinvented it with the help of my good friends Kathy and Tobes.
I am a man who is soaked in awe and wonder, who sees beauty and mystery in the whole universe, but who remains incredibly skeptical of ALL religion. I see religion on a par with politics – a power game.
Religion for me is a throwback to our primitive past. All religions reflect the cultures from which they emanate. They are steeped in misogyny, tribalism and hate. They reinforce division and prejudice. I despise them all.
The concept for this novel was to have my character aiming to write a scurrilous book revealing all the dark power games, control, brainwashing, intrigue and hypocrisy that lies behind all religions.
There is a strong biographical element to it as my character weaves in death, the end of a career and the vagaries of life into the story. It’s fast-paced and blasphemous. But it needs telling.
All the characters are straight out of my imagination (even when based on real people). Nothing is real.
Why not dip in and prepare to be shocked? This is the antidote to religion – THE ANTI-THEIST’S BIBLE!
