Local author asks how God, science, and peace can co-exist.
EUGENE, OR – JANUARY 15, 2007 – With God Refined: A Proposal for Peace, Robert Kezer answers what may be our most important question: Can the average person make a difference in the world, or are we destined to a future beyond our control - one of increasing war, environmental destruction, and disparity between the rich and poor?
Today, many people feel religious strife is tearing us apart. Ancient scriptures contradict logic, history, and science: fanatics rule while reason, character, and education falter. Wisdom, the combination of knowledge and experience, is often overshadowed by dogma, church imposed doctrine considered beyond human debate. Yet, rather than our spirituality destroying us, Kezer says it is what has stopped the carnage from getting worse: this, he offers, is a clue for ending the violence consuming our planet.
In God Refined, we are challenged to accept global change as personal responsibility. Kezer shows how beliefs in hell, karmic justice, and the wrath of God are fear-based ideas retarding humanity’s progress - concepts no longer reasonable for most educated people. Drawing on the Urantia Revelation, he teaches the unified nature of creation, that our relationship with God is personal, and that all religions are considered equal under the umbrella of a single sovereign Creator.
In a world becoming ever more violent, God Refined offers us the tools we need to live in harmony. Kezer’s approach is simple, direct, and compelling: he addresses social change through individual conduct. Believing crisis creates opportunity, he sees the chance for an era of new global leadership. Relating human evolution to personal growth, we are presented with a path to a higher order of existence – one where we will have our first true chance for peace.
