Holy Rascals | Free Book
God is real. Everything we say about God is made up.
Holy Rascals is a rousing call to anyone ready to go beyond
“isms” and ideologies, and live in the world as a liberating force
of justice, compassion, and joy.
“Holy rascals are spiritual
culture jammers who use humor, play, creativity, and critical
thinking to reveal the human origins of religions—and how religions
mask their true origins behind the conceit of divine origins,”
writes Rabbi Rami. Here, he illuminates:
• The making of a holy
rascal and the great task of “freeing religion from the parochial
and for the perennial”
• The art of “hacking the holy,” or
pulling back the curtain on religion’s fear-based mechanisms of
control
• The provocative tools and one-of-a-kind practices of
the holy rascal, with guidance for creating your very own “rascally”
ways
“Holy rascality is about rekindling spiritual creativity
and critical thinking,” explains Rabbi Rami. “It is about freeing
the human capacity for religiosity—the capacity for making
meaning—from the confines of brand-name religion. Holy rascals are
playful and lighthearted. While our task is serious—the liberation
of humanity from the madness of unhealthy and harmful religions and
religious beliefs—our attitude is not.” Holy Rascals brings
you Rabbi Rami’s one-of-a-kind inspiration, humor, and practical
insight to help you on your mission.
