The problem with faith and religion!The problem is that your religion cannot guarantee you that its beliefs about God are true. Not even the true religion can! That is the reason why all religions require you to accept their beliefs by faith alone (some even by imposition). In addition, people usually are reluctant to question or re-examine the beliefs in which they have faith. But we often acquire those beliefs without thinking critically, thus they can be false or wrong. In fact, faith in those beliefs often becomes more important than truth itself. However, if God is Truth, but you prefer your religion's beliefs over the real truth, you should not expect to have a great relationship with the true god. Instead, the odds of you having a relationship with a fantasy are very real. Therefore, you should focus on seeking for truth, not in having faith in dubious beliefs. Truth
is accurate information. Thus, If God is Truth,
you need accurate information to get closer to God. |

Beliefs vs. truth:Although we are free to believe in anything that we want, there are consequences for replacing the real truth for misleading beliefs. For example, throughout time humanity has sought the means to cure and prevent illness. But due to our tendency to have faith in unreliable beliefs and lies only a few effective remedies were discovered among a mass of pseudo cures of purely superstitious origin. Millions died because of our ignorance. In all of these cases, beliefs not only did not help, but caused much damage. In fact, many more people have died because of their beliefs than have ever been healed by faith.The power of our beliefs can be very strong, but the result still will not become truth. For instance, in the case of false pregnancies (Pseudocyesis) women present all the symptoms of a real pregnancy. Not only do they ardently believe they are pregnant, but they also have nausea and vomiting, cessation of menstruation, breast enlargement, abdominal enlargement and food cravings. Some patients with the disorder even test positive on pregnancy tests. But in the end, the certain knowledge of the truth is that there is no baby Throughout the history of mankind, most people have lived in a world of ignorance, superstitions, irrationality and fables. The different religions are the product of those times, and are still reflecting mentalities, beliefs, and attitudes thousands of years old. Due to their inability for getting authentic knowledge of truth, they had to rely on beliefs. Only in the last 100 years, valid knowledge really started to increase dramatically in the culture of the world. But although we are living now what is called the “Information Age” or an age of knowledge, religion has not kept pace with the rest of our advances in knowledge, and it is still living in an age of faith, beliefs, and superstitions. However, in the Information Age we can, and should, replace our beliefs in God for knowledge of God, and faith for certainty. Do not let a religion replace the real God in your life. Some who have realized that there is something wrong with faith and religion:
Because of dissatisfaction with organized religion, church attendance has decrease significantly in the USA, Canada and Europe. However, rejecting organized religion is sometimes equivalent to being thrown into the unknown and the unfamiliar. Therefore, many do not question their religion. But some stop believing altogether in God and others accept philosophies and disparate ideas that are just as bad, or even worse, than what they previously believed. Some of those who reject organized religion, but still believe in God, feel like nobody else shares their view or do not know where to turn for guidance. But they are not alone. There are over 100 million people in the USA alone who are devoted to God, but do not attend church services anymore. And today, they can find the truth of God without depending so much on faith and religion. Instead of blind faith, we should apply an objective, rational, knowledge based, faithless approach to the subject of religion and God. An alternative to faith and organized religion:The book "If God is Truth" applies a modern, knowledge based, faithless approach to our relationship with God. The best way to develop a personal relationship with someone is to get to know that someone intimately. It is hard to maintain a relationship with someone you really know nothing about. But no religion can guarantee you accurate information (truth) about the true God. Therefore, they cannot accurately show you how to have a healthy relationship with him. And it shows!... The main purpose of "If God is Truth" is to guide its readers to a successful relationship with the real God, using reason and truth (in the form of accurate information); and beyond religion and faith. This book shows you how to replace your religion for an authentic relationship with God.The main goal of religion should be to bring mankind closer to God. "If God is Truth" shows you what the religions should be teaching, if only they knew what to teach. All the religions are based on unreliable beliefs, but "If God is Truth" is based on validated information. In an age of knowledge, there is more evidence and information than ever, which together with rational, objective deductions can guide us to accurate conclusions. This book depends on the use of reason and the logical processing of information to guarantee its accuracy. The book also takes into account our weaknesses and limitations to process information correctly, teaching its readers to think for themselves. Description of "If God is Truth":Most religions assume in faith that God's truth is revealed to them through sacred texts, like the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Bible, etc. However, faith alone cannot confirm the accuracy of any of these sources of information, so the possibility of errors is very high. As a matter of fact, the existence of so many different, contrasting religious doctrines worldwide really proves a lack of knowledge about God. If knowing God is the sign of a good relationship with him, then we just do not have a good relationship. If God is Truth, faith is not enough. In reality, most of our religious beliefs simply are self deception and fallacy, which we often accepted as children. But if the real God is Truth, then false information about him, counterfeit truths, distortions and lies will hinder our relationship with this God.Research also shows that the leading reasons for belonging to a specific religion are being raised as a child inside of it or being influenced by a family member into converting to it; hardly the ideal way to find the true God! If God really is the Truth, and we would like to maintain a good relationship with him, we should love and pursue truth in all of its forms. Therefore, we should validate all information for accuracy and abandon any false beliefs. That is why, "If God is Truth" provides you with a more objective, reliable view of God and his mentality, which goes beyond religion and faith. More accurate information about God's mind and truth will help you to connect with the living God and achieve a successful personal relationship with him; one that is based on truth. Why do you want to buy "If God is Truth":Some benefits have always been associated with a good relationship with God. Such as integrity, wisdom, peace, real and unconditional love, salvation, joy, freedom, life, forgiveness, truth, etc. In fact, a friendship with God addresses the key issue for our lives. This is... to want or crave, to be incomplete. Your creator designed you in such a manner that apart from him, you will be hungry, even after you ate. And you will be cold, even in warm weather. And you will be lonely, even when in the company of millions. You, without him, are not totally complete, even if you have it all. God created us to fulfill a purpose. If you are not fulfilling God's purpose for your life, your life will always be unfulfilled. And since the book "If God is Truth" is specifically about how to maintain a healthy relationship with God, all those benefits come with it. But "If God is Truth" makes a very strong emphasis in another benefit. A benefit that often goes ignored, although in my opinion it is the best one; this is a change in mentality. A new mentality really means a whole new person. Whatever information we have in our minds determines the attitude we will have in any situation. Thus, "If God is Truth" aims to renew your mind with revised, validated information and more accurate concepts for a more rational, wiser mind.What you will get from "If God is Truth":
