About this ebook
Therefore one should live without reference to God. as a supernatural being. Furthermore, you can do Gods work and not believe in God. This book is not intended to challenge those who believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
. My suggestion is NOT to read this guidebook until you have studied some science and are perplexed, uncertain or skeptical about the Universe. and its origin.
The evolution through the millenniums of the tribe that in time became the Jews and their religion is told. Rationalizations to explain the Holocaust and the differences between Authoritative and Humanistic religions are examined. A list of the atrocities that Religions have perpetrated is summarized. And the need for one to have faith is emphasized.
A list of the major organizations for Cultural, Secular and Humanistic Judaism are comprised as well as other source material is given.
Book II of Serious Narishkite (foolishness) is also included.
Our Jewish Religion is a treasure trove of delight based on a four thousand year history. Our collective culture includes architecture, art, ceremonies, customs, holidays, languages, literature, music, rituals, traditions, as well as the altruistic moral code and ethical teachings that Judaism advocates and embraces. Do not deprive yourself and future generations of our heritage, our Yrusha!.
