Because of North American domination, society did not move quickly enough after World War II to arrive at a “new mentality” on which to base our teaching of morality. Some Theocrats have been fighting desperately ever since to try to re-implement their cloak of “cultivated ignorance” upon our world. Since World War II, that class of mythological evangelical preachers who have no compunction against exploiting the simple, have been straining every ligament to keep people, the vast majority of whom are still indoctrinated by Mythology, busy trying to help them “bring the world back to God.” They have been hoping to restore their acceptance of pre-World War II preacher pre-eminance in authority regarding all things real, profound and or fundamental. As of this day, they have succeeded in keeping Americans in confusion with purely emotional issues such as homophobia, minority phobia, religious-based male chauvinism, ethnocentrism, anti-abortion, prayer in public schools, athletics from professional on down to sub-teens, guns, violence, alcohol and other forms of substance addiction, etc. It is because the above have attracted so much of our attention that general ethics and morality have gone into a deep decline.
Description:
From where did the Presbyterians come? What is their history? What about the Jews? The Catholics? Muslims? Mormons?
So many religions in the Western world: Unitarian Universalists, Methodists, Bahai’s and Baptists. The list goes on and on...
LaRamon Durham has done an admirable job of collecting the basic facts and presenting a concise history of dozens of currently popular ways of approaching God.
Laid out along an historical timeline from Abraham to modern times in America, this history of monotheism in the West can help the average person find some orientation and emerge with a basic grasp of “Who’s Who” in religion.
Author Bio:
Social activist and organic farmer LaRamon Durham is a product of four generations of multi-ethnic heritage: English, African American, Cherokee, and Spanish. He was born in 1923 in Chicago, IL, to parents from rural Maxeys, GA, who left the South in hope their children would avoid the racial segregation they had experienced. When his mother died in 1925 his father brought Durham and his sister back to Maxeys to be cared for by their aunts. Growing up in Georgia LaRamon found his identity and roots in the African American culture. At the age of 14 he was sent to live elsewhere again, this time with his mother's relatives in Cleveland, Ohio, where he lived until 1978 and gradually came to be a part of the European-American culture. He attended an American Baptist Church in Cleveland but left the church when he came to feel that it was prejudiced against African Americans. He then began his search for "the real God" calling himself a social-correctionist. Durham and his wife of 35 years, Phyllis, live in Athens, GA.
