… EXCEPT you might still die of cancer, you, your children, your family could still be murdered, your house could still burn down, some terrible accident that causes death or severe injury to you and/or family members could still happen, your finances could still be wiped out due to unforeseen circumstances.
That's right; any number of horrible things may still occur.
ALL of these things STILL happen in the lives of people who believe in the "IF/THEN" promises of religion. Statistics don't lie.
Those who believe God will protect them because of their "righteous" behavior are just as likely to experience the same negative, painful life experiences and the same kinds of losses and disappointments as those who do not believe in God that way.
Those who do not believe God protects certain people while withholding protection and blessings for other people are no more likely to die of cancer (for one of many examples) as someone who earnestly believes God is constantly monitoring our behavior. If you do not believe God intervenes in the lives of certain people based upon their good behavior, there is no evidence supporting the theory you are less likely to have a good, healthy, happy life.
Whether a person will have a good, healthy and happy life is actually determined by beliefs and behaviors outside the framework of religion and religious beliefs.
So, how does the religious establishment explain the inconvenient truth that bad things will still happen to good (righteous) people [people who have been told to believe that special blessings can be claimed by those who believe in God … as long as they live like it]?
Religious leaders literally ignore this contradiction.
They talk and teach as though the contradiction doesn't exist.
At the funeral of a believer who dies young, or of a respected believer who dies tragically, a religious preacher might say things like...
"Sometimes God's blessings are contained within suffering."
OR
"God had a different plan."
OR JUST
"God's will is a great mystery."
OR EVEN
Satan is sometimes blamed.
Whenever ANY uninvited bad thing happens in the life of a faithful follower, one or more of the above excuses are cited.
What about when something bad happens in the life of an unfaithful follower? Well, you know how religious leaders respond to that scenario: that is either explained as ...
"God is trying to bring you back."
OR
"You became susceptible to attack by the Devil through your disobedience."
What about the list of promises religion promotes as the benefits of living the "right" way?
Good question. What about those promises?
At the end of the day, the constant pressure to live a perfect life (or as close to it as possible) is what leads to the "side effects" listed above. This is what causes people to either grow very cynical and very angry...
OR
… to begin re-thinking religion.
Religion
Makes
No
Sense!
Religious people say, "No, you are distorting what the Bible teaches!"
- The Bible says God loves the world … meaning the WHOLE world … meaning everyone in the whole world <-- That makes sense because the Bible also says that after the world was brought into existence, God declared that everything He made is GOOD! [That includes people. The Bible says people were made in His image. So, of course God said - AND STILL BELIEVES - we are good!]
- Yet religion comes along and insists that every man, woman and child on the entire planet is hopelessly evil. Hmm. So, God declared everything He made as being inherently good ... but religion declares people - who are said to be the pinnacle of God's creation - are not good at all. How does that make sense?!
- Religious people believe we are all hopelessly evil … we are all sinners … we are all sinful … we are all rebellious … we are all selfish and, if not for God's influence in our lives, we would all do the wrong thing … all the time
- They believe God wants nothing to do with sin; that He separates Himself from sin; and therefore anyone who has not CHOSEN to have God in their life is hopelessly disconnected from God... because they are shock-full of SIN
- Although you likely won't see it advertised on a billboard, the message from religious people to the rest of the world: "God loves you! … but He wants nothing to do with you because of your sinfulness."
- … and they believe the Bible teaches these things!
- THAT STILL MAKES NO SENSE!
Sometimes religious people get angry when tough questions are asked or when religion's contradictions are discussed,
but anger is not an answer
- If a sinner is separated from God because of their sinfulness, how is it that God's spirit is going to lead a "sinner" into … anything?
- Religious people explain that a sinner must choose God, but they also say sinners who are without God in their lives can't make any good choices. Then how is a sinner - a person who is separated from God - supposed to choose God?
- They say God loves us unconditionally and that His grace and salvation is free to all … who choose it. That's right, each person must first make the choice to come to HIM and apologize for being such a bad person before He will accept us and no longer regard us as being separated from Him. In other words, we must all save ourselves.
- If a sinner is incapable of ever doing the right thing, then we should all be completely, irretrievably lost. Period. Religious people say, "Yes! Exactly right! That's why Jesus was sent!" - - - And then they explain that Jesus' ministry and Jesus dying on the cross made it so that no one has any excuse. Sorry religious people, but that means you are still saying all the wretched sinners out there who are irretrievably lost and broken and confused and unable to make good choices … somehow still need to overcome their own brokenness and confusion, AND feel bad enough about being such an awful sinner, to reach out to God and ask to be saved … in order to be saved … which essentially means anyone who wants to avoid that eternal fiery torment must save themselves.
- No human being who is a sane, responsible, loving parent would ever treat one of their own children the way religious people believe God treats mankind. In fact, the Bible instructs believers to love their spouses and children in a way that is completely different from the manipulative, fear-based way they say God loves all of His children
- THAT MAKES NO SENSE!

What
The Town and the Mayor
IS NOT
The Town and the Mayor
IS NOT ...
Anti-God
This book is definitely NOT anti-God. It simply offers readers (especially those with a religious background) the opportunity to ask themselves, "What if God is more like this than the way I was raised to believe?"
Anti-Faith
The Town and the Mayor is not anti-faith. Readers are challenged to re-think what concepts, beliefs, and explanations they choose to put their faith in.
Anti-Creation
The vast universe we live in, and everything in it, came about somehow. If a "Big Bang" brought all this about, theorists admit they can't explain what put that into motion. The author of The Town and the Mayor believes the universe was created by an intelligence that is emphatically in favor of ALL that was created, including all of us inhabitants of planet Earth!
The Town and the Mayor
IS NOT ...
Anti-Bible
The notion that every word, every sentence, every paragraph, in the Bible is without error, including the placement of all punctuation, is itself erroneous. The idea has been soundly disproven by the thousands of quiet alterations, revisions and reprints that have been made since the Bible's first "edition" was approved back in the 4th century. The Roman Catholic Church a milenia and-a-half ago declared the Bible was not to be questioned because no part of their strangle-hold of authority and control over the European continent was to be questioned.
New Age
No part of The Town and the Mayor promotes astrology, cosmology, esotericism, alternative medicine, or other common aspects of what is commonly refered to as the New Age movement. Author Jim Aitkins recently said, "It saddens me that if you write something that makes religious people feel threatened, they will attack you with completely off-base things like, 'That's of the devil' or 'That's New Age' or 'That is herecy' or 'That guy doesn't know what he is talking about.' Critics of my point of view say crazy things like that instead of directly stating what, exactly, they believe about my outlook is wrong and how they can prove it is wrong."
Religion
This book is not about offering a new or alternative belief system. The Town and the Mayor makes the straightforward proposition that this [the allegorical scenario described in the book] is what the Bible is actually trying to say. If the text had not been edited by people who wanted to use these ancient writings as a tool to control entire populations of people and to amass vast amounts of wealth, the Bible would be conveying a much more coherent and positive message. What if the real message is that God has something so much better in store for all of us than religion.

Here's What a Few People
Who've Already Read
The Town and The Mayor
Want You to Know
About the Book
The dialogue was so genuine, I felt like I was literally watching a movie.
Mike Lee, Houston, TX

I finally got around to reading the Town and the Mayor and now I'm sorry I didn't read it sooner! In my opinion, you nailed it perfectly. This speaks to how I have felt for years now. I believe that religion gets in the way and distorts God's love for us. As you have shown here, his love is the opposite of exclusionary. I also believe we have all been given gifts from God and that yours is the gift of Teacher and Prophet; you are telling the truth in a visual and creative way with words and you have shared that gift with the world in the form of this exceptional book. I am so glad I found it!
Mike Lindbo, Puyallup, WA
When I read the story within the story - the one about the little girl in the stables - I was convinced. I have been sharing that story with my children at bedtime. They want to it over and over again.
Jeremee Wambah, School Superintendent
I absolutely love this story and the detailed descriptions! I can imagine it as a motion picture (hope it actually becomes one). It's a really fascinating concept and even though it is a fiction book, it feels believable. Even though I have read it twice now, I still want more. I would say that is a sign of a good book that needs to be shared.

“
The entire storyline for The Town and The Mayor, showed up in my head in a single moment. I remember exactly where I was. I was sitting in the front row … at church. The pastor was delivering the sermon. I do not recall what he said that triggered the big 'aha-ha!' I just remember a series of vivid images flashing through my mind, one after the other.
I turned to my wife and whispered, "I know what the Bible is trying to say God's Kingdom is like. It's like a town. A fast-growing town surrounded by orchards and parks and forests and other cool stuff."
I'll also never forget what my wife said...
"Shhh."

Here Are Some Snippets
from The Town and the Mayor
Can You Relate With What You Have Read So Far?
If so, get in. The water is fine! If you can relate with a lot of what you have read here, The Town and the Mayor will not be a disappointment.
Can You Afford $4.97?
Of course, you can. Chances are good that if you have read this far down, you're intrigued. Just buy The Town and the Mayor RIGHT NOW. The only thing you're wasting is time.
Are You Tired of Religion?
Frankly, there are many more contradictions and unanswered questions religion creates than are discussed here.
If the content of the Bible was monkeyed around with a long, long time ago, and if the original intent of the original writings was to convey a more positive message of hope and love, then what if God is more like the mayor in The Town and the Mayor? Just what if?
