Doomed Soul
by Robert Boomsliter
A man without faith shares his views as the end of life approaches. The views are reflections on religion, morality and death.
Historically, almost all unbelievers have maintained a low profile when it comes to expressing views on spiritual matters. This is understandable considering that expressing those views could result in execution using the most unpleasant methods available to the culture of that time.
In most civilized societies the punishment for holding an unpopular view has moderated considerably over the centuries and the author believes it is good time to express his very own.
It will be interesting, it will be provocative, and it may even be entertaining.
Meet the Author
Welcome to Doomed Soul, my first attempt to explore the blogging world.
My name is Robert Boomsliter and I recently wrote a book. It’s a very small book, about 60 pages, but I tried very hard not to put in too many unnecessary words. From reviewer comments I gather that it is not boring and very few found it unworthy or dishonest.
I am learning how to create this website primarily to promote the book. It can be found here.
It is, essentially, a criticism of religious faith. I have found some satisfaction in exploring some conventional (read popular) wisdom and pointing out features which are not necessarily wise. I invite the visitor of this site to read this virgin effort at authorship and, if so inclined, do me the honor of expressing their thoughts on it.
I intend to post related observations on this site from time to time. I cannot claim to do this frequently since I am at an advanced age and lack the requisite stamina, enthusiasm, and passion. But I will do my best to be concise and non-trivial.
I claim authority and expertise on one subject only. My opinion.
