For a while my stance on religion has been that if some deity put humans on Earth with the expectation that we do certain things to get good treatment in some next life and those expectations were more than just being reasonably decent people, basically following the “golden rule,” that this deity is incompetent and I want nothing to do with him, her, or it. This relatively short read has a different twist as to what we’re all doing on Earth while giving some perspective on how many of the world’s religions came to have the viewpoints they do. Early in the book I was getting a cultish vibe, it felt much like a lot of religious indoctrination in some ways. I also question how the author came to knowing these things. But ultimately, while the reasons and the explanations for why we are here and what we’re supposed to do while here may be lacking in proof in my mind, the author’s final answer as to what is expected of us isn’t unreasonable, regardless of his rationale, and not much different from what I proposed makes sense above. Ultimately, if nothing else, it is an interesting theory and certainly got me thinking.
