"Abandon the Cave: Faith’s Seductive Virtual Reality" - An Atheist Speaks Out

Nov. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- In Psalm 14:1, the fool hath said in his heart, “There is no God.” This enlightening book is a heartfelt reply from the fool! Author Ralph Robinson, once a devout Christian and now an atheist, challenges claims made by religion of any kind.

Beliefs are not true just because people find them comforting or inspiring! Such is the wisdom at the heart of Abandon the Cave: Faith’s Seductive Virtual Reality. Yes, religion is seductive. Religions place great significance on a unique narrative, featuring accounts of fantastic deeds or words attributed to a mystic or sage. Underlying these narratives are two core mythologies often shared by different faiths. The first is that the real world is immaterial, populated by a deity or deities, hosts or demons, and that this world is a mere shadow.

The second of these myths is believing in magical thinking, miracles and divine activities free from physical causes. This myth exposes a desire to transcend the physical and material limitations, and find fulfillment of our desires, as well as to escape death. What is the truth? It’s time to face reality and find out.

About the Author: After retiring, Ralph Robinson continued to teach philosophy part-time until turning to writing in recent years. The author spent five years in theological training, ten years in Christian ministry, and taught philosophy at the University of Newcastle, Australia, for thirty years. “I view the book as a repayment of a debt to my past, and an explanation of a process leading out of once-treasured beliefs and commitments into a richer and more fulfilling world view.”
