This book criticises religion in favour of reality, but instead of just criticising as many authors do, it develops a powerful common human ethic. The aim is to grow the truest, most beautiful, effective and joyous garden of reality on Earth. The book covers an immense range, so that there is space only to assert many convictions of a lifetime, not argue them.

Suicide is the greatest killer of our young people, and the world is becoming un-manageable as huge bureaucracies take over. Do we need a new commitment to basic good beliefs, ethics and management?

The convictions come from a varied life on Earth, more than from the world's great writers.

We criticise the Bible and Jesus from several necessary angles, which may look like overkill to those not familiar with the range of Christian defensive arguments. Christian false ideas still warp much of Western thought and ethics, so that extensive weeding is needed before we can grow the best garden.

This is one of four books of reality, belief, ethics and management, which are meant to be a blessing for people. Welcome to one of these books of a fortunate lifetime.
