God and gods: Book One: The East — The Only Ruler That Measures Truth - God and gods. The only ruler that measures truth, #1

Every religion on earth makes claims. Almost nobody grades them.This book takes one honest ruler to the great houses of the East — Hinduism, Buddhism, the faiths of China and Japan, the riders of the steppe — and grades every claim the same way a working man grades anything: RECORD for what's written in stone and ink, ESTIMATE for what the evidence leans toward, THEORY for the honest guess, LEGEND for the story that outran its receipts.No sneering. No softballs. Every house gets its strongest witness called — the grace verse buried in the last chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the imageless Lord of Heaven under China's oldest oracle bones, the flood that shows up in every family's attic. And the author's own house takes its turn under the same ruler, at full weight.Written by a working man for working men and women who suspect the truth about God is bigger than either the university or the television ever told them. Book One of five. The ruler doesn't change. The houses do.
