Synopsis
Godless is not a wholesale attack on religion. It affirms the community-building, good works, and contemplative activities of religious organizations. It makes the case for a personal way of life guided by positive values and for communal organizations which should welcome rational, secular, humanist, agnostic, atheist, and spiritual understandings of reality. Godless describes communal worship which is uplifting but does not promote beliefs in irrational superstitions. Godless synthesizes what Rasley has learned from his study of the Basa Rai in the Nepal Himalayas, from Quakers, and the American philosophy of Pragmatism. The book describes a values-based way of living derived from the author's cross-cultural experiences. It encourages a spiritual response of awe and gratitude for being alive and conscious in this wonderful shared world. Other books by Jeff Rasley - B ringing Progress to Paradise; What I Got from Giving to a Mountain Village in Nepal describes an astounding Himalayan adventure which becomes a critical reflection on the damage charitable giving can do to the intended beneficiaries. The rest of the story of Basa Village, is told in Light in the Mountains - Namaste, Rakshi, and Electricity in a Himalayan Village and its prequel India - Nepal Himalayas In the Moment (an honest Three Cups of Tea). To get out of the snow and mountains for adventures on water and islands, check out the lyrical Island Adventures. For a change of pace curl up with False Prophet . It's a romantic mystery and inspirational tale based on a legal case Rasley handled in his 30-year Indianapolis law practice. If you enjoy sports action, history, humor, romance, set during the cultural revolution of the 60s, check out MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY 1969: Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, Viet Nam, Civil Rights, and Football. Pilgrimage: Sturgis to Wounded Knee and Back Home, a Memoir begins with a motorcycle road trip to the Bacchanalia of Sturgis Bike Week, then takes a detour to the massacre at Wounded Knee, and crosses the ocean to a remote village in the Himalayas. Reconciliation is found back home in Indiana. Hero's Journey - John Ritter, the Chip Hilton of Goshen, Indiana; a Memoir is a meditation on what makes a real hero and a nostalgic reminiscence about childhood heroes. Polarized in the Time of Trump mourns the unhealthy polarization of the US body politic and proposes a cure., "Godless" is not a wholesale attack on religion.

"Pilgrimage: Sturgis to Wounded Knee and Back Home, a Memoir" begins with a motorcycle road trip to the Bacchanalia of Sturgis Bike Week, then takes a detour to the massacre at Wounded Knee, and crosses the ocean to a remote village in the Himalayas. Reconciliation is found back home in Indiana. "Hero's Journey - John Ritter, the Chip Hilton of Goshen, Indiana" is a meditation on what makes a real hero and a nostalgic reminiscence about childhood heroes. "Polarized The Case for Civility in the Time of Trump" describes the unhealthy polarization of the US body politic and proposes a cure., Beliefs divide us, Values unite us.The contemporary history of religious and political ideologies is bloody. From the Nazi Holocaust to beheadings by Islamic Jihadist terrorists, fanatics have divided the world into believers and heretics. Their propaganda has persuaded followers to torture and slaughter unbelievers. The cure for the pathology of fanatical beliefs:Fight Violence with Values!Discard religious doctrines and political ideologies. Let shared values be the guides of personal and policy decisions. "Godless" illuminates a way forward into a more harmonious and peaceful future. It offers a remedy to revive religion and increase political participation. It advocates a pragmatic middle way to counter both fundamentalist extremism and secular apathy through communal activism.Godless -- Living a Valuable Life beyond Beliefs begins as a memoir reaching back into the author's Puritan family history and the Salem witch trials. Rasley's worldwide travels, spiritual quest, and intellectual journey took him far from his small town roots in the Presbyterian Church and Republican Party.Fascination with cultures very different from his Hoosier homeland developed during adventure travel breaks from studies in London and the University of Chicago. A successful law practice eventually allowed him the freedom to combine ethnographic research with mountaineering expeditions and philanthropy projects. A special bond with the Rai people of Basa village developed during Rasley's "philanthro-trekking" in the Nepal Himalayas.Indianapolis First Friends Quaker Meeting agreed to sponsor fundraising for a foundation Rasley developed in partnership with Basa village. These dissimilar people on opposite sides of the world share fundamental values in their tolerant, peaceful, and simple approach to life."Godless" blends what Rasley has learned from the Basa Rai and Quakers with the classic American philosophy of Pragmatism to describe a values-based way of living. It encourages a spiritual response of awe and gratitude and advocates replacing divisive ideological politics with pragmatic decision-making.Godless -- Living a Valuable Life beyond Beliefs is a critique of fundamentalist religions and extremist political ideologies. It advocates guiding our lives by positive values and making pragmatic decisions. If we abandon superstitious beliefs, we can rally around the fundamental values of taking good care of ourselves, assisting those in need, and tending to the needs of our shared world. "Godless" recommends a modern pragmatic version of the Judeo-Christian ethic of loving self and neighbor. It does not encourage readers to abandon their religious communities, but suggests a way to worship focused on awe and gratitude. It doesn't demand leaving political parties, but proposes a pragmatic method of conflict resolution to replace the political gridlock of divisive ideological politics."Living a valuable life beyond beliefs" is a way of living with mindful attention to caring for ourselves and others. It is derived from the cultural wisdom of the Rai people of Nepal, values advocated by the Quaker Society of Friends, and the classical philosophy of American Pragmatism. It is a way to find a golden mean of balance between selfishness and selflessness.Jeff Rasley's undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago combined concentrations in Philosophy, Religion, and Politics; he received a J.D. from Indiana University and M.Div from Christian Theological Seminary. He is a professor at Butler University teaching an Honors class on philanthropy and nonprofit organizations.
