Level 3: Book on "Religious Stances" This page contains a link to my book on stances, in particular religious stances. This book was finished in September 2014. The book describes and assesses important ideas about the world such as divine intervention, karma, dharma, atheism, and Gnosticism. It describes and assesses the major world religions. As of April 2015, I had not made up the bibliography yet. See "stub" doc below.

The following two pieces are extracts from the chapter on basic beliefs. They are also in my Essays. Jesus Changed the World PDF ......... HTML ........ Text Jesus as God or Not God PDF ......... HTML ........ Text I added to the essay about Jesus as God, in response to comments, also in my Essays: Jesus as God, Part 2 PDF ........ HTML ........ Text In writing a book about religious stances, I had to leave out stances, ideas, and myths that are fun to think about, such as hipster, right wing zealot, nature freak, over-sensitive to being "dissed", aloof skeptic, right wing rebel, and warrior Jesus. Those stances, ideas, and myths, are collected on pages in my Essays. As of September 2017, not much was on them yet. Still, the links are: PAGE: Mike Essays on Ideas and Myths
