| Publisher Description: Welcome to religion as seen by Worth Buren "Dixon" Frye (1900-1957). He was only on earth 56 years, but his legacy still permeates through the minds and actions of the many people whose lives he touched directly and indirectly. This is a resounding tribute by his grandson, J. Wayne Frye, to a man who never wavered in his compassion and concern for humanity. In religion, Dixon Frye saw little hope, because it was hijacked by self-serving hypocrites. Dixon Frye's simple, straight-forward analysis of religion and how it was far too often used for evil rather than good is particularly relevant in today's world, where religion is used to justify all kinds of abhorrent acts in the name of God. From George Bush and Dick Cheney's endorsement of torture in the name of righteousness to the ISIS horror in Paris, evil is alive and well in the world and a lot of it can be traced to the time when Dixon Frye said, "Ain't nothing these religious fanatics do much reflects what Jesus stood for." This is a must read for anyone concerned about the path upon which religion is leading the world today. As an agnostic, Dixon Frye knew more about the real Jesus than the church wants anybody to know. This is a story about a young boy who learned about life and most of all about religion and its predilection toward hypocrisy from a man who saw things with an insightful perspective that will shake the foundations of the belief structure that for too long has led people not into the light but into the darkness. |
