God or Delusion?

This lecture addresses some of the most basic questions that people are asking today. Is there really a God? Or is God just a figment of our collective imagination (as some claim)? Is God real or delusion? Fact or fiction?

The lecture provides solid and scientific grounds for faith

In an increasingly secular society, it has become fashionable in certain quarters to dismiss belief in God as mere superstition based on primitive myths. The lecture provides solid and scientific grounds for faith by uprooting misconceptions about God and revealing a more believable, reliable and dependable God, and the practical healing power available to us all. The listener is introduced to some radical new concepts that enable him to:

  • Learn ways to test our beliefs about God and to turn blind belief into spiritual understanding.
  • Explore a more inclusive and universal concept of God, that is credible in a scientific age.
  • Discover the power of healing prayer to prove for oneself that God does indeed exist

Recent authors such as Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) and Sam Harris (The End of Faith) have argued that religious belief is misguided even dangerous. Extremism certainly can be dangerous, but does religion really need to be jettisoned as these authors suggest? This lecture shows that the real problem is not religion or God per se, but the misuse and abuse of religion arising from misconceptions about God.

This lecture shows that the real problem is not religion or God per se, but the misuse and abuse of religion arising from misconceptions about God.

Having established that a more correct concept of God is of crucial importance to global stability and peace, the lecture goes on to explore the actual nature of God. Among other things, the lecture shows the fallacy of tribal and anthropomorphic concepts of god in which one nation or group of people is favoured at the expense of another. And instead reveals God as universal Love.
