You are an unlikely singularity. Death should not be seen as such a bad thing because at the very least you had a life. Just think of all of those other 250 million sperm cells that you had to race to that ovum, that is 250 million possible ghosts that you left in a vacuum of probability and who could be here now instead of you. Is that not more miraculous than turning water into wine? Too often it is argued that gods are responsible for the beauties we see in the world and that there is supernatural purpose to our existence. John Higgins rebuts those arguments with a stern and impassioned 'no' arguing that chance, luck and coincidence are not supernatural and that religion is a man made, self imposed bondage. That superstitious supernaturalism is a money making scam to prey on our inherent vulnerabilities after we lose loved ones and also understandable fears as we approach death. He asserts that morality is an altruistic human instinct not given to us by a god. John Higgins later discusses the origins and necessities of religion, arguing that there was no Jesus and his attributes were recycled form other previous pagan deities. The three big religions Judaism, Islam and Christianity are the same Abrahamic religion twisted and interpreted to serve the selfish mass controlling needs of the few. John argues that religion is just a business and its followers are their silent enslaved shareholders who are fear mongered into handing over their money to tax exempt companies acting under a guise of charity. John Higgins further argues that the big bang theory cannot be capitalised upon by religious groups. Existence has always been because of the Big Bounce Theory there is no beginning and there is no end, the universe just expands and contracts continually over trillions of quadrillions of years. John further pulls apart the multinational conglomerate known as the Vatican. He illustrates that it is a tax exempt business that has been pulling the wool over humanity's eyes for centuries. Later the author explains the dangers of apocalypse beliefs and pulls apart the 2012 Apocalypse, the Illuminati, the Book of Revelation, the New World Order and other end time conspiracies and shows how they are just apocalyptic conspiracy theories created by apocalyptic Christian and religious groups proclaiming the coming of the antichrist and can all find their genesis in the Book of Revelation. Which was in itself, not an apocolypse prophecy. John later asserts that religions desire the end of the world as an attempt to scare people into submission. The author further shows that all apocalypse beliefs are just misinterpretations of ancient stories. The foremost being the rapture doctrine which was invented in 1830 and all modern Christian apocalypse theories are drawn from that unfounded recently invented idea. The Book of Revelation was not a cryptic apocalypse prophecy but a cryptic attack on the Roman Empire by John of Patmos. John Higgins further asserts that creationism is an absurdity. It is a delusion of indoctrinated people too afraid to accept the facts of reality. Evolution is true and creationism is wrong. John later shows that we are the lucky ones because we will to die, where the ghosts of probability never had that chance. John Higgins argues that our desire to find the answers to life's mysteries should first look at the facts of what is being promoted by agenda driven ideologies. That there is magic, mystery and adventure all around the natural world and there should be no necessity to fall upon supernaturalism to lighten up our lives. God's Funeral: The Evolution of Reality is an uplifting book which coldly discusses some of the more contentious beliefs surrounding supernatural ideas, pseudoscience, cultural memes, irrational conspiracy theories, and the genuine ignored immorality of all religions. Reality and the truth are not subjective, the glow worms in the trees are not fairies...
