Does God exist? If yes, then why can't we see Him? If we can't see Him then how can we be sure of His existence? If God exists, then why did He create the universe, and what is the purpose and goal of my life? If God is all powerful, then how can we have free will?

This can sum up the borrowed theme - a hidden world of lies with carefully placed distractions to divide your attention. In this book, we focus not on the pretty faces you're supposed to look at. We focus on that tiny text at the bottom of the screen. We lift the hood on the car and check the engine while the salesman is trying desperately to get you fixated on the shiny paint.

People are constantly judged for their sexual choices, their frequency of sexual activity, their selection of partners, and their decisions regarding birth control, and much of this judgment stems from the element of culture perhaps most preoccupied with sex: religion.
