Everyman’s Prayer Book

Everyman=s Prayer Book: The Government and the Courts- the Other Great Religions is a satire, where the author applies many of the elements of the legal definition of witchcraft, and many of the same pillars of Christianity in seeking offerings from believers to democratic governments and their courts in seeking the payment of taxes from believers. In Part 1- AThe Pillars of Christianity in seeking Offerings from Believers”@ , the author outlines the eight foundation, and three marketing pillars of Christianity in seeking offerings from believers. The author shows that many of those pillars fit the legal definition of witchcraft - fraudulent practice of sorcery, or >crafty science=, or the telling of fortunes fraudulently for consideration . In Part 11 – “The Pillars of Democratic Governments in seeking the Payment of taxes from Believers”, the author shows how western democratic governments use many of the same pillars as Christianity in promoting the existence of the secular God, and sons of God of governments, and use many of the same elements of the legal definition of witchcraft (crafty science, sorcery and fortune telling) in seeking the payment of taxes from believers. In Part 111- “The Pillars of Democratic Courts in providing Justice for Believers “, the author shows that justice is an illusion. In Part 1V- “Recommendations”, the author makes recommendations on how the world can be saved from the conflicts between the different religions and governments of the world. Whereas the goal of the business plan of religions is to provide the infrastructure and those services necessary in the real world to prepare man for heaven in a supernatural world, the goal of the business plans of governments is to provide the infrastructure, and those services, such as - health care, police protection, and justice to provide heaven in the real world. Their common ground is moral and ethical behaviour. Whereas for Christianity, the revelation of the Bible was written by men about two thousand years ago, inspired by a Holy Spirit from God, the revelations (constitutions) for democratic governments were written by men, inspired by the secular God, and sons of God, using the rules of legislative procedure. Whereas Christianity provides no courts to deal with its morals and ethics (Ten Commandments, Beatitudes and Virtues), secular governments provide courts to deal with its morals and ethics (criminal and civil courts), where judges and juries inspired by the court=s rules of evidence, issue their holy judgements (rulings). Whereas Christianity=s God is in three persons- the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost, the secular Gods of democratic governments are the father (President or Prime Minister) and the sons of God (members of the House of Commons, or house of representatives, and respective Senates), and for the Courts, the father being the judge, and the sons of God, being the members of a jury. The author discovers that the claim of western governments that democracy represents the people is not borne out by the evidence. The author finds that western government democracies only represent some of the people. They are really oligarchies- governments by the few, in disguise as democracies. Democracy is just a method for determining who the members of the oligarchy are. The author concludes that there cannot be two authorities on morals and ethics- the religious authority, and the secular authority. The morals and ethics of the State must be supreme, as democratic government oligarchies, in disguise as democracies, pretending to represent all of the people, has some degree of legitimacy, whereas for Christianity there is no, to little legitimacy, unless you believe in the existence of angels, and holy spirits pretending to represent God . It is the crossing of that fine line between fact and faith that engenders fanaticism, and all of the world=s atrocities committed in the name of religion, not unlike those in democratic governments who fail to separate fact from faith, claiming that their country is the greatest country in the world , engendering the same conflicts and atrocities against other nations in the secular world. If the world is to be saved from all the atrocities committed in the name of governments and religions, the author concludes by making a recommendation to governments on how the freedom of religion provisions in democratic government constitutions can be circumscribed to hold religions more accountable for their messages to believers, and recommends that all governments surrender individual sovereignty interests to a world government, equitably sharing the economic resources of the world, operating under the rule of law with a central judiciary, supported by a world police force to enforce the will of the central government in serving the common good of the individual constituent governments . Everyman=s Prayer Book is a humorous, satirical, and a sometimes serious look at the nature of democratic governments, and their courts using many of the same pillars and witchcraft as Christianity. In considering the nature of democratic governments and their courts, you will find important truths and insights into human nature. Those insights and truths will be revealed through satirizing, ridiculing, lampooning, skewering, deflating, dissecting, embarrassing, undressing, unmasking, and exposing the illusion that the crafty science of democracy represents the people, and that there is such a thing as real justice in the courts of democratic governments. Some may even think that Everyman=s Prayer Book is blasphemous, as it uses the legal definition of witchcraft and pillars of Christianity to show that the government and courts are also great religions relying upon faith of believers. From satire and humor often eternal truths are revealed about the human condition. By applying the pillars of Christianity, and the elements of witchcraft to the revelations of governments, and the courts, the reader will be able to decide which of the three moral and ethical authorities has the greatest credibility.
