When theological beliefs remain unchallenged, false beliefs can still affect how we view each other even when modern research tells us otherwise. When Dogmas Die begins with a comprehensive look at Genesis 3:16 and the view that women are born inferior. Author Susanna Krizo presents a convincing argument that once you understand the original meaning of this verse, equality for women cannot be refuted. Thoroughly researched, and addressing every relevant verse in the Bible from a linguistic, historical, and practical perspective, When Dogmas Die is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical equality.

Dogma is one of those words. Many people see dogma as a bad thing-as the unreasonable, unthinking adherence to a belief, even in the face of contrary evidence. But when the Catholic Church presents some of her teachings as dogmas, she does not mean that these tenets are irrational or to be thoughtlessly embraced. Dogma is the bedrock of truth, an inexhaustible feast for the mind, not an impediment to thinking. Why? Because dogmas rest on the Word of God, Truth Himself, who can neither deceive nor be deceived, and who wants his Word to be known. The great theologian Charles Journet explores the meaning of dogma in his classic work What is Dogma? In what sense are dogmas an object of faith? How do reason and faith relate to dogmas? How are dogmas both essentially unchangeable and yet open to development? Are dogmas accessible only in learned theological language or are there common-sense ways of understanding them? Journet addresses these and other important questions. He also discusses examples of dogmatic development: the dogmas of the Trinity, of Christology, and of Mariology. And he explores the relationship of dogma and mystical contemplation. In short, Journet shows why "dogma" is a subject of which Catholics need not be afraid.
Death by Dogma is a companion to THE Interview, the transcript of biologist Jeremy Griffith's ground-breaking interview that solves the human condition and saves the world – an interview described by Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, as "the most important interview of all time"! In Death by Dogma, Griffith explains that the Left's dogmatic insistence that everyone behave in a cooperative and loving way makes its advocates feel good but it oppresses and stifles the freedom of expression needed to find knowledge, ultimately self-knowledge, the redeeming understanding of the human condition that actually brings about a cooperative and loving world. Dogma is not the cure, it's the poison because it blocks the search for the rehabilitating understanding of ourselves that's needed to actually save the world. George Orwell's famous prediction that "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face [the human mind] for ever" was about to come true – but mercifully, science has finally made it possible to explain the human condition and save us from this makes-you-feel-good-but-is-actually-horrifically-selfish-and-deluded left-wing threat of the Death by Dogma extinction of our species! This booklet is supported by a very informative website at HumanCondition.com.
