I left the Forward as it was when the title was ATHEOLOGY, not "Anti-Atheology." I wrote most of this book years ago during my transition from pantheism to atheism. (Actually it was called THINKING the UNTHINKABLE, in 1990, after CREATING YOUR GIANT SELF was published.) The only book I’d ever read strictly about atheism was George H. Smith’s, ATHEISM: THE CASE AGAINST GOD. I titled my book ATHEOLOGY in 2006 and then offered it as a guide (free in PDF form) during my attempts to use the Internet as a vehicle (www.MySpace.com was one) to encourage people to pick one person from a different belief system to try to develop Mutual Respect for one person who deeply believed differently. I naively thought one to one would create an international rippling into waves of Mutual Respect.
My Failures
My efforts were almost a total failure! I had finally published through Outskirts Press in 2006, a semi-autobiographical book, “GOD-INTOXICATED: Becoming Paranoid,” depicting my conversations with God and life experiences that led me from Orthodox Judaism to other religions, mainly Buddhism and reincarnation. This was a book I’d rewritten many times during my adult life as my point-of-view had changed.
With ATHEOLOGY I was hoping to offer those equally disillusioned with our man-made religions and our creations of gods and A god a logical, realistic, and practical means of getting what religions offer without the superstitions and delusions fostered by religions.

Why GODLESS?
This last name change reflects my concern about causing unnecessary pain to those good people who live decent, productive lives AND believe in a god and a religion. I'm not AGAINST them as long as they remain open and allow free expression of other ideas.
