Author Says Religious Failures Have Spawned New Morality Further Debasing Suffering Humanity

April 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Christianity and its various offshoots, including Islam, were created to mold and control the behavior of people, but not only have they failed miserably they have been replaced by a money-based morality that brings out the worst in human beings, says author Boye Lafayette De Mente.

Known for his 70-plus books on the business practices, cultures, languages and moralities of the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Mexicans and Americans, De Mente says the livelihood of the vast majority of mankind is now based on the absolute need to make money, which has given new life to the greed instinct built into human nature.

In a new book, CULTURAL FAILURES THAT ARE DESTROYING THE AMERICAN DREAM - The Destructive Power of Male Dominance and Religious Dogma, De Mente identifies and details all of the areas of human endeavor in the U.S. that have been corrupted and debased by greed, and “virus-like” have now infected most of the rest of the world.

“This new profit morality is not only repressing and destroying the better aspects of human nature in a growing number of people, it is also destroying the Earth’s ability to sustain life,” De Mente adds.

The book includes a variety of suggestions—some plain common sense and others far out—to reign in the destructive influence of male dominance and religious irrationality that continue to contribute to the self-made plagues threatening life and planet Earth. It is available from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other online booksellers.
