Introduction
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to read my little book. I have written this book for everyone, for I believe that everyone should read it. I am especially keen for agnostics and atheists to give it a try, for I am certain that they too will experience the fundamental truth that is contained within it.
Atheists and agnostics do not believe in God or life after death – or at least they have reservations about it all. The idea of God and life after death that they do not believe in is the one promoted by the Church, for amazingly it is the only interpretation and the only source with which anyone has the opportunity to believe in a higher power or some kind of greater force at work. It therefore, incredibly, is the only concept most people consider when making their decision on whether or not they believe in ‘God’.
This ‘one horse’ concept is spoon-fed to us all from birth. It is the culture into which we are born. From the time that we are babies and our families talk about religion, the only concept of God and life after death that is actively promoted is that of the religious institutions. Every village and town has a church or many churches. All of them promote the same idea of life after death and ‘God’: Be good and accept Jesus as your saviour, and you will be ‘saved’. Saved from an eternity in hell, to reside in heaven forever. A heaven with God on his throne and Jesus at his side, the Devil residing in hell far below, alongside everyone who was bad in their lives. This is life after death – believe in this or believe in nothing at all.
The church offers no proof of this concept. They cannot tell you for certain, despite the fact that one claims direct authority from Jesus Christ, himself purportedly the son of God.
Churches are treading a dangerous path. Their obsession with subservience through guilt and the active promotion of myth is harmful to everyone. The atheists and agnostics are not entirely wrong not to believe in a God based on these stories, some of which stretch the human capability of belief, based upon blind faith, to the limits and beyond!
The agnostic or the atheist does not believe in this 2,000-year-old, nationwide, almost worldwide, promotion of the idea of a vengeful God and a life in heaven or hell, based upon one shot at redemption. For the agnostic and the atheist are ‘rational thinkers’, and when faced with the fables and the miracles the sheer implausibility of it all, the monumental leap of faith required by such a belief system, leaves them with no alternative but to remain atheist.
But what if the truth about life after death and this vengeful God was somewhat different? If the myth was stripped away, if the half-truths and downright lies told by the Church were exposed and a concept of life after death that fitted the universal order was revealed, how many then would be atheist or agnostic?
Enjoy.

The journey begins
On any given Sunday people all over the country, and indeed the world, make their way to church. Village churches, city cathedrals, Roman Catholic churches, Jewish synagogues, Seven Day Adventists, Baptists, Methodists. For most, Sunday is the day to worship God and Jesus, and of course some will also attend church on other days.
Jesus born of a virgin, performed miracles, raised Lazarus from the dead, then was persecuted and crucified, they will tell you, for your sins. Christians and a myriad of cults from the Plymouth Brethren to the Jehovah’s Witnesses all put their stamp on what the Bible actually means. They have all interpreted its contents their way and attempt to exert control over our lives according to their particular interpretation. They promise us an eternity in a lake of fire if we disobey their various rules.
There are over 300 religions in full swing on this planet at this time and their rules and commandments vary wildly. Which one, if any, is correct, definitely and beyond refute? Definite is a powerful word because it removes totally the need for faith, and faith is what all religions are built on. It is their first demand: You must have faith. Therefore, by the very interpretation, definite you cannot be.
When I first started to ask questions of religion and its origins, the first thing I was told was that I should have faith. I should have faith in the Gospels and faith in the whole of the Bible, ‘for that is the word of God himself’. Faith, it appeared, was all I needed. Indeed it was absolutely necessary to have faith, for some of the stories and events portrayed in the Bible defy any kind of logic. Faith alone: Just believe in it all, blindly, and off to heaven you will go.
But was I really to believe in a virgin birth? That God himself had ‘planted the seed inside her’? Was I really to believe in the story of the Garden of Eden? Was I really to believe that Christ was the son of God and was crucified for our sins and that this was his sole purpose in coming to Earth? What was God thinking of? Couldn’t he find a better way to enlighten us, because he really should have known that it wouldn’t work!
Contradictions
The more I studied the Bible and asked questions of the faithful, the more hostile was their response. I asked, if the Bible is the word of God and we are to add not one word nor take one word away , why are there so many contradictions within? The main four gospels in the New Testament differ immensely on the birth of Jesus and the crucifixion. They all have a different slant on the ‘resurrection’. Some Biblicists contend that biblical chronology fixes the date of creation at 4004BC, thereby making the Earth about 6,000 years old. Some present-day Creationists stubbornly adhere to a young Earth timetable in spite of overwhelming evidence that the Earth is actually many millions of years old.
Creation stories/myths abound in cultures throughout the world. In Australia, the Aboriginal myth consists of a huge serpent that comes out of the water and spews forth man and woman from his mouth.
Let us study more closely the story of Adam and Eve. Immediately noticeable is that it is here, at the very start of the Bible, that things start to go wrong for the female in the Christian Church. No matter how incredulous the whole thing about Eve being created from Adam’s rib, churchgoers the world over stubbornly believe in the Bible’s version of events.
First let’s take a closer look at the story as laid down in the Bible. God said to Adam:
‘From every tree you may eat but the tree in the midst of Paradise do not eat, for the day that you eat from it you will surely die.’ But the serpent was wiser than all the animals that were in Paradise, and he persuaded Eve, saying, ‘On the day when you eat from the tree which is in the midst of Paradise, the eyes of your mind will be opened.’ And Eve
