About the Book

This book is about the search for world peace and development. Karl Marx and Max Webber are two outstanding intellectuals whose analysis about human institutions, behavioral formation, disequilibria, and organizational demise are unsurpassed. Webber, following the tradition of the ancient Greek intellectuals and modern European thinkers of the enlightenment era had concluded that ideas are fundamental in determining all social outcomes. Marx, on the other hand, saw all social outcomes resulting from conflict of materialism. The application of these two giant intellectuals’ theories and many others has not solved societies’ institutional inadequacies. Henceforth, this book is to fill the gap for generations after the twentieth century in solving social institutional morbidity.

It goes further to challenge all traditional religious explanations about the justification of how one religion differs from the other. It is an attempt to eliminate religious rancor in the world. The study therefore covers areas like conflict, hatred, behavioural formation, social change, permanent schism, racism, poverty, women’s issues, and development.

A Theologico-Sociological interpretation of behavior formation, conflict, social change, permanent schism, feminism and development.

The entire manuscript involves critical issues in Theology, Sociology, Philosophy and Feminism. The central position is the search for religico-social understanding, politico-economic balance, unity and peace. In view of this it examines the source of hatred, conflict, permanent schism, poverty, feminism dilemma and development. The approach makes it radical and controversial.

Chapter one begins with a discourse challenging Karl Marx’s position in religion. While Marx claimed that religion would not exist when the state is completely destroyed in the communist stage of development, I could not see the correlation of these two institutions. Mostly, religions are formed before state formation. Most states developed out of religious forms such as Isreal, India, Arabia, Christendom, Orthodoxy, Africania, etc. It is revealed that religion is eternal therefore it is worth studying to determine its impact in social dimension.

Religious institutions are said to be central in causing permanent schism, hatred, social formation and development. Can religion be an independent variable? Is it the determinant or the causality of all social dimensions? Marx claimed that the economy is the independent variable to determine religious forms and all other institutions. I found out that the super structure (religion, polity, education, etc = ideas) and the substructure (economy-materialism) are not independent variables but rather sexual gratification differential model determine both the super structure and substructure.

The above position led to the study of why the Jews hated Jesus? It explains why Jesus was killed and why Judaism and Christianity have remained eternal foes on earth. It concludes that to bring the Jews and Christians together unless both agree on the type of sexual model and its relations.

In chapter two it is revealed that the sexual model in which Abraham gratified himself had led to permanent schism, hatred, conflict and disunity between the Jews and Arabs. In view of this, policy makers should note that they cannot solve the Middle East problems with political, religious and economic strategies. Women and it’s associated Sexual gratification caused the Middle East problems therefore the solution is to use the women to change the sexual closeness tradition.

The discourses in chapter three reveals that all said doctrinal differences between Islam and Christianity are shams. Each doctrine or ideological issue like son ship of Christ, Crucifixion etc, has been critically analyzed comparatively with the Bible and Koran. All the polemics have been jettisoned. It concludes that Islam differs from Christianity by nothing more than it’s sexual model. Mohammed launched both religious and sexual revolution. The Islamic sexual tradition has shaped all the exciting institutions to differ from Christianity.

Did Luther and other Protestant leaders fight for God, doctrine, society or group interest in sexual gratification? Did the Catholics defend God, doctrine or sexual model in their struggle for survival against Protestantism? In chapter four, great theological issues, which were said to have divided Christianity into Catholic and Protestant, were addressed. These doctrines include Holy Communion, faith, celibacy, leadership, centralization, antichrist, artistic usage, predestination, divorce, priesthood etc. In the final analysis, by a thorough comparative study with the Bible, it was revealed that the Protestantic-Catholicsm break and subsequent wars in Europe were caused by their central themes in sexual gratification models. None defended God (Christ and the Holy Ghost), society, Christianity, the Apostles but their sexual models.

Why are Britain and Ireland perpetual enemies? Why can’t the British Anglicans join the Catholics to be strong in faith? The research shows that the source of the conflict had permeated into all other institutional structures to the extent that a solution to the problem could not be found. The origin of their break was sexual gratification differentials. Being a sexual conflict, the dichotomy had become permanent. Gladstone attempted to solve the problem by religious, economic and political strategies but could not pacify the Irish. The root cause was sexual conflict and a solution to that would bring the Irish and British to smoke a peace pipe.

Chapter six is a research into the age of enlightenment and it’s consequent revolutions in Europe. The revolutionary process led to high level of liberalism with unique philosophies. It was found that the central theme and scheme in their subjective mind was liberal sexual gratification model. It was an attempt to destroy Jesus-Paulian sexual model and clerico-nobility model of the catholic and Protestant respectively. Out of the struggle came social contract theory and marriage became a social contract instead of a sacrament. Civil marriage verses Spiritual marriage led to a long struggle leading to institutional changes with a new level of development. The Liberal-sexualist model created a dilemma for women, which opened up the way for people to seek another sexual model to reshape the world.

The age of revivalism or Pentecostalism was to destroy Jesus-Paulian sexual model, Protestantic model, Arabic-Jewish model and liberal-sexual model. This movement has had a great impact but has remained since then one of the religious entities. This is because they failed to succeed fully in their sexual warfare. Their sexual model has deepened the dichotomy of our world. The revivalism failure to reform the world was caused by issues of sexuality.

Chapter eight examines religious activities in Africa and Asia .In these two areas, it could be seen that religious wars were lacking. It was seen that apart from Islam none of the peoples’ own religion had ever developed a serious conflict leading to permanent hatred and schism. It became clear that Africans lack of religious wars among the numerous traditional religions was caused by the policy of separating religion from marriage and it’s sexual gratification issues. In Asia, the chief executives (ruling lords) and religious leaders had a common agreement of preserving women for themselves. They hardly attacked each other on the sexual morality within their camps. The acceptance of sexual corruption among the nobility and clericals without condemnation from their "prophets" established the peace. Women and sexual gratification model could now be seen as the core determinant of all social dimensions.

Chapter nine begins the empirical studies of the core determinant of social forces and social phenomena. Is it capitalistic economy (materialism) or ideology (politics, religion or education) determining the social foundation of the U.S.? Readers have been introduced into the study of the history of Europe, which led to the greater influx of Europeans into the Americas. It could be seen that no other factor seems so strong to establish the causality other than sexual differentiation. It was therefore not religious wars, political or economic that caused the influx. Because it was a sexual war, the principle underlying the social structure of the U.S is sexual diversity model. Today the U.S. is in a dilemma to preserve the sexual multiplicity model or change it to face the challenges of the century would have for reaching impact on America and the rest of the world .In conclusion both change and preservation are dangerous to the system operating in the U.S.

Racism theory in the chapter ten reveals that woman is a factor of division into races. God did not create color for its own sake. There is deep study into Moses’ position and Darwin’s. It could be seen that both religion and science (Evolution) hold the same principle on human evolution of color. Because Moses and Darwin who wrote about the origin of human species failed to tell us the original color and present day color division I have gone deep with historical and philosophical understanding to reveal the source of color prejudice, supremacy and distinction. It was suggested that women are the only factor to be used to eliminate racism.

In chapter ten, Islam and Protestantic sexual models were seen to have come to create poverty in Africa and Asia. This analogy can be used to explain any regional poverty. After this, individual poverty within the society was examined. This position is different from Marx’s. Marx declared material determinism but I reveal to the world a great dimension in which poverty is created.

Chapter ten examines the great existing sociological theories that deal with structural relationship in a society. The inadequacy in these theories led me to establish the theory appropriate for explaining social movement.

Chapter thirteen declares women’s world in the centuries to come. Feminism in this chapter reveals the revolution in the coming age for relative peace and higher development. Chapter fourteen concludes the project with scheme towards a new world order.
