Morris Blasphemy, Murder and The Lord Don’t Mix When Religion and Reason Collide in Court. ********* This Book Is AboutCritical Thinking And Challenges The Reader To Ask: What Do I Know AndHow Do I Know It? Sister Mary, one of three SistersSuperior in the Church of the Saved is murdered in the opening chapter, thefirst of several murders. The same evening, David Stone attends the SummerSunday Sundown Services held at Jefferson Park in the City of Dicksburgh ,presented by Pastor Maxentius Zeno Constantine (known to all only as “Pastor”)and the police arrest David for blasphemy. Sister Mary had a twomillion-dollar life insurance policy (with double indemnity for accidents)issued by a company in Bermuda . The beneficiary is aninternational religious charity controlled by Pastor. Will her death be ruledmurder, suicide or accident? David, a graduate student,demands the prosecution prove each statutory element beyond a reasonable doubtusing the Federal Rules of Evidence. He takes the position claiming before onemay be convicted of a blasphemy, the law must provide an intelligibledefinition of God and then produce evidence to support the definition or theprosecution will fail to make a prima facie case. Pastor uses the upcoming trial toincrease his sphere of influence and bring money to the church. His church,like all others, always needs more money. He spends some of his time at the Garden of Faith , headquarters of a religious mission, on Lake Brokopondo in Suriname ,saving souls, feeding the poor and performing devotional rites for God with theSisters Superior and the Angels of Manna, a lower level order residing in theGarden. While Pastor’s relationship is strictly religious, the sexual ritualsrival those described by the Marquis de Sade — embellished by the kinks ofSister Leah. Sister Leah, genetically anintersexual and a former professional female dominatrix, now restricts herdomination practice to an underground arm of the Church as the Mistress ofJustice. What happens to David's life ifthe jury finds him guilty? ********* God On Trial Endorsements: “The Supreme Court of the United States opens each session with the criersaying, “God save the United States and this honorable court.” Thousands of trial courts daily swear witnesses totell the truth, ending with, “so help you God.” Morris has it right: under theFederal Rules of Evidence, courts can convict a person of murder but cannotprove God exists.” Marc J. Victor, Attorney at Law Certified Specialist in CriminalLaw “This book is a grippingintellectual mind-twister. Reason, faith, and the charlatan battle for theminds of the jury in the best of courtroom drama. Morris lets loose with hisvast experience of international law and religion, weaving an extraordinarysleuth of intrigue, murder, and deviant sexual drama.” Ken Schoolland, AssociateProfessor of Economics and Political Science Hawaii Pacific University ,Author of "" Jonathan Gullible" ********* Book Details: ISBN: 0-7414-5755-5 ©2009 Book Size: 5.5'' x 8.5'' 372 Pages Category/Subject: FICTION /Religious True Genre: Critical Thinking List Price: $18.95 Publisher’s Purchase Link: http://www.buybooksontheweb.com/product.aspx?ISBN=0-7414-5755-5 God On Trial isavailable only from the publisher at the moment.
