Publisher Description
A comparison of religion, philosophy and magick throughout history. Are all religions basically the same? What are the similarities between the New Age, Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Mormonism and the Jehovah’s Witnesses? What do paganism and Gnostic Christianity have in common? Is secular humanism really superior to “mere religion” or just another means to the same end? Is there any truly original supernatural philosophy? What sets it apart from current religious practice? Is there a way to find Truth and contentment?

Maybe the author should have included the possibility of Symbolism in ancient scripture.
Glad it was free
Real waste of a few minutes. Nothing bad or wrong but nothing truly insightful.
Terrible and doesn’t know what she’s talking about
Right off tha bat, first thing that drove me totally crazy is she refers to atheists and scientists as philosophers. “Philosophers don’t believe in a god and rely on nothing but science. If they can’t sense it with their outer 5 senses then it doesn’t exist.” That is absolutely not what philosophy is. So she starts off on tha wrong foot right there. Then proceeds to say how all religions used to work in harmony. Ya when did that ever happen? And that all religions are wrong except one: tha Christian faith, and have u heard of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ? Psshhh, puuuhleaze….. this misinformed freako is on a good one.. meaning shes completely gone and this book is full of misinformation and false facts. Waste of time. Literally. Waste of time. I can accept books that have different views than I do, I looove to read and expand, but this isn’t jus different views, it’s wrong information all together and completely biased. Even at its basic levels of vocabulary. This book needs to be taken off tha market. Thanx
