In this explosively controversial book, Richard Francis says that people who worship monsters become monsters. Most worship a godimage that is stupid and vicious Worshiping this ancient wargod, this "ultimate extraterrestrial," drives people psychotic. For their god is psychotic. Religion, the world's worst idea, has spawned nightmarish, ghastly godimages. These have haunted and troubled us since childhood. Let us recognize a God Who is not a "big daddy in the sky," but Who is Love Itself. God is not a person, but a state of mind called "cosmic Love." Knowing God as Love demolishes theories of everlasting torture in hellfire and cruel, childish Armageddon, replacing them with healthy views. If you think that the cosmos is ruled by a madman, you are going to live very differently than if you believe that it is regulated by a being of Love, tranquility and bliss.
