You're going straight to Hell!

The God of judgment and the perception of an angry God have been with us since the dawn of time and surfaces widely today in the theology and experience of believers of many religions.

This personal memoir provides a theological and philosophical analysis of how the wrath of God came to haunt our collective imaginations, how we can come to terms with this god and where we go from here. It explores the darker aspect of divinity in many of the world's Native traditions, as well as each of the three dominant religions in the West; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a brief foray into other religions like Zoroastrianism and the mythology of the Hindu religion. It covers the nature of evil, the gods of wrath, betrayal, damnation and genocide, and the shadow side of God, the idea of Satan (also known as Lucifer or the Devil).

This book examines the implications of the Monster God for people of faith and attempts a reconciliation of God with us.

Questions about God: Today's Philosophers Ponder the Divine
From young children, with their guileless, searching questions, to the recently bereaved, trying to make sense of tragic loss, humans wrestle with our relationship to God--and with God's essence, motivations, and power--throughout our lives: Why does God permit catastrophe and senseless tragedy, again and again? Is God's power limited in any way? Can He change the past? Does He know the future? Why does God require prayer? Why does He not provide stronger evidence of His presence? Whom does God consign to hell, and why? Does God change? Suffer? What can we make of the conflicting diversity within world religions, of the many gods of different religious traditions? <p/> Such questions engage, confront, and perplex us on a daily basis. In this rich, concise volume, leading philosophers who have long pondered God's nature and ways take on these core problems and present their findings in a manner likely to engage believer and non-believer, general reader and specialist alike.
