Commentary: The Vatican's power fades while Voodoo becomes a world religion, Gay priests report that 40 percent of the Catholic clergy are practicing homosexuals, The Earth religions of neo-pagans are on the rise again just when the fundamentalists of many a faith had thought their past inquisitions had burnt and tortured the heretics out of existence, Many religions are seeing an exodus of priests, while women around the world clamor to break out of their traditional subservient roles as second-string humans to God's creation, man, and demand ordination as priests. Politicians promote Judeo-Christian beliefs that no longer hold the interest of their people, Faith fades in the light of the Internet's data stream enlightening a modern society to be more skeptical about such matters as virgin births, sons of God, salvation, and resurrection. The old-time religions that demand obedience to God are being crowded out by those which promote personal responsibility, Hinduism falls to humanism and the Buddhist Dharma is supplanted by doubt in these ending times.

Millenialism: the issue of our times.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Messiahs (Paperback)
From what I can see of his writings, John Hogue is among the best exponents on millenialism and related subjects, in the current set of writers. This is an overwhelmingly important issue, the "feeling" of which is generally building up in collective human conciousness. This book deals with a key aspect of millenialism itself, messianism. Retribution and punishment, especially of wayward people is a concept as old as human thought itself. No matter how technological Man and his society may get, God will always be there, and so will the concept of justice. One need not subscribe formally to any religion in order to "beleive" in God, though it goes without saying that among existing religions, some are better than others, and this is reflected in the state of their societies in general: their culture, science, and political and economic spheres. However, there are those who may be good in many, or in the majority of, respects. But they will have to suffer destruction--and then reconstitution and flourishing again--because of some erroneous "glitch" of theirs that they might have overlooked or underestimated. In the case of nowaday's "glittering" West, they had an obligation not to do what they have done; not to dash ahead selfishly and carelessly, not to allow or nurture the existence and efficiency of bad elites as are now found existing in the less fortunate parts of the world. And as for the backward civilisations of the world, they are coming to an end: because they are outdated and yet cherish it. But they will be perpetuators of the agression against the wayward developed ones, getting consumed in this process. That is what millenialism is all about, in the correct perception.

Fantastic and Unique!,
By Parham Sabetazm (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Messiahs (Paperback)
No other book I have ever touched covers so much information regarding world religions and prophecies. This is a definate must read. I love all works by John Hogue, and this one tops them all! If you are interrested in The Baha'i Faith, Hitler, Christ, or Krishna; this is your book for today!

Excellent Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Messiahs (Paperback)
A great book to read to realize just how all religions barrow things from other religions. This book, if read with an open mind, can make you see how childish some beliefs are, and how all religions some how almost 'want' to bring on the end of the world, so their savior can come.--Paul
