Acharya's Religion 101 for Seekers

These articles and rants come from a series written by D.M. Murdock/Acharya S in the 1990s, during her early years online, when the wild worldwide web was a new and strange playground for free speech. A number of these essays represent responses to emails she receivedâ€”some of them not so nice. As such, her replies at times may be deemed surly, to be sure, especially as concerns the essay, "Proof that God Doesnâ€™t Exist," as one example. Acharya has nevertheless left it pretty much as is, just for your amusement, to serve as another, more "playful" aspect of her writing.

As concerns the controversial subtitles in the chapter "RELIGION IS MENTAL ILLNESS," these are summaries of quotes by other books and authors. For example, in the Old Testament the Israelites are depicted as slaughtering whole groups of people in the Levant, including the Canaanites and Midianites, beginning some 4,000 years ago. Fast-forwarding to the modern era, Acharya has included a quote from Ralph Schoenman's "Hidden History of Zionism." The quote about Islam comes straight from the mouth of Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini, while commentary about Christianity is from James Haught's "Holy Horrors."
