Author Says that After Men Created God in Their Own Image Everything Went to Hell

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 10, 2011 -- “The failure of Judaism, Christianity and Islam—the world’s first one-God religions—to create and sustain modest levels of morality for their followers is evident from the individual and mass violence that have marked their histories from the beginning,” says author Boyé Lafayette De Mente.

Known for his business and cultural-insight books on China, Japan, Korea and Mexico, De Mente attributes virtually all of the problems now afflicting the U.S. and other countries to the male-dominance factor in the creation not only of the world’s cultures but also the creation of gods to explain the phenomena of life, nature and the cosmos in general.

In a new book entitled MEN CREATED GOD IN THEIR OWN IMAGE THEREAFTER EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL! – The Failure of God-Based Religions, De Mente offers detailed explanations of why Judaism, Christianity and Islam gave birth to irrational and inhuman cultures that have plagued their followers ever since.

De Mente says that the human species began creating gods to explain life and nature when they became self-aware and developed a compelling urge for an explanation of life and the material world around them.

“Ancient groups of people created gods to explain their own existence as well as animals, the seas, the mountains, the weather and other phenomena, but it was not until between four and five thousand years ago that Hebrew tribes who lived what is now Israel–and later became known as Jews from the name of one of the tribes—created a single God and began to preach that he was the only God,” De Mente adds.

De Mente outlines fundamental changes that he says are essential before human beings can rise up out of the muck and mire of all of the male-created and male-dominated cultural institutions—religious, economic, educational, political and social—and achieve their full potential.

The book is available in both digital and printed formats from Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. See boyedemente.com for a list of his 70-plus other titles.
