I just read a very good book that is actually a complaint against all religion, but especially those aspects of religion that undermine freedom of speech. It’s a fiction thriller (not a analytical book) about what the near future can look like, but with frightfully realistic roots in what’s happening in the present. Almost Orwellian! Especially with the manifestation of Islam, supported by the church, this book describes some horrible aspects of the second worldwar inside of a thrilling story.
It’s called: De Goddelijke Selectie by W.G. Van Dorian (isbn 978-90-8963-006-3). You really should read this one…not too difficult by the way because it’s a pageturner but the message inside is horrifying and a warning at the same time. I bought it at Amazon.com, but I think it’s also available at the publishers: wisemanpublishing.com. Anyway, These reflections of the dictatorial aspects of religion really made me shiver!

Clever way of making an advertorial, Inge! But if it’s really such a good book why don’t you write a review for religionresearch.org?

Did you receive my review, Peter? It’s in Dutch, is that all right?
