The media has temporarily turned its large but constantly blinking eye away from cult-of-the-day reportage after the Waco conflagration, but such organizations continue to collect adherents. Martin Gardner, best known as mathematical-games-meister for Scientific American, turns his refreshingly unblinking gaze on the origin and continuing growth of the Urantian cult. It is a marvellous study of the ways in which ideas can be propagated through society.

 A book of LIES, Half Truths and Anger To keep you AFRAID September 15, 2007
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Martin Gardener's book about the URANTIA Revelation is typical of what has kept mankind from reaching his full spirital potential for its entire history. FEAR! Using LIES and Half Truths, and twisted conclusions he's doing what the "Church" has always done keep in CONTROLL and YOU from understanding TRUE spirituality and KNOWING for themselves what it means to follow Christ's teachings.
We are in the Apocalypse people! Thats why these TRUTHs are coming out now! And what is REALLY meant by 'The Truth Shall Set You Free!' I finally can see why, when it comes to TRUTH and INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUALITY - all the nasty, negative, hateful, closed minded, judgmental and ANTI-Christ like noise, comes from so called "Christians" whenever they have anything to say about.... well ANYTHING!!
You WONT find anything Nasty, Hateful, or wrong in the Urantia Book because when reading it, it will 'ring true' like it has for almost everyone with the courage to read it for themselvs. So if your one of those people that cant see REAL TRUTH for themselves because of FEAR they learned in "CHURCH" about a Judgmental, vengeful, Retalitating and Punishing God - Then You WONT like the URANTIA book.
The Urantia book can stand on its own merits and should be read by ANYONE who yearns to fully understand what the Bible fails to do. Understand and make sense of our history as humans and to KNOW GOD/JESUS and the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TRUTH, COMPASSION, and the true - I repeat - TRUE CHRISTIANITY of JESUS.

For those who are seeking truth, Martin Gardner has done us a great service. He covers the history of those people who brought us the Utantia book. He makes a convincing case that this giant tome was conceived in deception. For those who believe that the Bible is true, will perceive that this possible channeled fantasy contradicts the Bible. For those who don't believe the Bible, they need to know that the creators of the Urantia book sprung forth or evolved from the Seventh day Adventist Church. A denomination with a false prophet and a history full of fanaticism. I highly recommend Martin Gardner's book, for anyone who has looked at the Urantia book or thinking of buying that ultimate grand cosmic fantasy.

While looking for some alternative to a lot of confusing biblical jargon I got into the Urantia Book and found it to be EUGENICS and NAZISM in DISGUISE! I was thoroughly refreshed to find out that others were intelligent enough not to be bling faith sheep and believe that pack of fabrications. Though many of the stories in the Urantia book are partially true, The Great Cult Mystery points out how they were twisted to fill the agendas of Nazi supportes like William Kellogg, Charles Russell (of the infamous Jehovah's Witnesses, and Bill Sanders (one of the writers of the Urantia Book) into "cleansing the human race" through preferred breeding and ethnic cleansing. For all you peole that believe the Urantia Book, I suggest you read the history of its creators first before you believe the so-called sleeping brother in law subject's view on the universe.

There is no Father just Mother it is female look around blind men and see for the first time. If you really want answers to why, when, were and how. Nature is female not male. There is no male in the mix, creation is not male. It will be too late, but we'll just start over again like we've done many, many times before.

Reading this book will make the indwelling spirit of God very distressed. But the rant and rave author gives a perfect lesson on how a person sounds when losing an augument in a debate. The book is mostly hate talk and insults. He could have distilled the main concept he presents to 30 pages of science. The Urantia Book mentions how they would treat science and anyone who gave it any thought would see this offering has not a leg to stand on. Spare God the trouble and do not waste your time or money on this so called refutation.
