Description
A priest, a scientist, and a psychologist walk into a bar... This isn't the beginning of a joke. It's the start of a long-overdue conversation about how mainstream religion has handed down a God that only a sadomasochist could love. How are we supposed to worship a deity who wantonly slaughters innocents to assuage His own bloodthirsty rage? Thank the loving God revealed in the pages of Setting God Free that Seán ÓLaoire has finally unpacked the horror show known as "the difficult passages" of the Bible, giving readers access to a cosmology built not on canonical scripture alone, but also on science, spirituality, and personal experience. And as for the God we humans have created in our own image? His day in court has finally come.
