Reviewed Titles The Third Basic Instinct - How Religion Doesn't Get You	Alex S. Key Reviews Added November 17, 2008 The Third Basic Instinct How Religion Doesn't Get You Author: Alex S. Key Publisher: BookSurge Publishing Available At: Bookstores everywhere Publishing Date: August 2008 Genre: Religion/Nonfiction Format: Trade paper Price: $15.95 ISBN-13: 1-4196-5474-8 Author Email/Website: www.TheThirdBasicInstinct.com Reviewer: Joyce Handzo Rating: 8 Gargoyles The Third Basic Instinct issues a clear challenge to fight or flee. Alex S. Key dissects and analyzes the disharmony that apparently exists between organized religion and human nature. His writing is engaging, enthusiastic and leads readers on a penetrating pilgrimage. Yet, every reader will have a definite reaction to his words, either agreeing or disagreeing with a good amount of forceful emotion. The book is a logical progression of the author's belief system, with each chapter short enough to capture those thoughts without becoming overwhelming. These pages rest solidly on evolutionary principles, highlighting the instinctive nature of mankind not only to survive, but also to thrive in the world. As the title suggests, there is an important third basic instinct that motivates and molds humans. It is this characteristic that is explained, examined and later understood in terms of organized religion. The author's conversational writing style coupled with honesty and humor, make his points come across in a non-threatening way. Using true-life accounts to state his case, the text is fascinating and will definitely give every reader something to think about. As the pages turn, and his theories are more clearly laid out, controversial topics are introduced and explained in context. His unique ideas about women's rights, morality and even the origin of sports will cause eyes to open wider. Although the author is clear on why he holds to a certain set of beliefs, it's apparent that he will alienate some readers. Read The Third Basic Instinct with your fists closed or with hands clapping in applause. This book definitely offers a compelling look at personal belief systems and their potential to impact the entire human race. Return to top of page.
