Unmasking the Divine: "God’s Words" by Ricardo Sibilla Explores the Collision of Religion, Power, and Violence

In a time when religious discourse continues to divide as much as it inspires, God’s Words by Ricardo V. Sibilla offers a groundbreaking, fearless examination of the historical and psychological forces behind mysticism, imperialism, and intolerance. Available now in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, this revelatory work dares to ask: are the spiritual teachings that proclaim peace actually being used to justify division and violence?

In God’s Words, Sibilla challenges centuries-old assumptions surrounding the divine origins of religious texts. Drawing from theology, history, and evolutionary science, he critically analyzes how sacred narratives are often less the voice of a deity and more the product of political manipulation. With an accessible tone, he dismantles the notion that holy scriptures are unassailable truths, instead presenting them as complex cultural artifacts shaped by human agendas.

At the heart of the book is a searing question: how did a man named Jesus become a god—and who decided his words were divine? Sibilla’s exploration leads readers through a provocative inquiry into the mechanisms of myth-making and dogma construction. He places a particular focus on what he identifies as the “thirty-one Mystical Steps”—subtle but powerful motifs embedded in sacred texts that, he argues, have long been used to sanctify violence while preaching harmony.

Critics are taking note. IndieReader calls God’s Words “a fearless deconstruction of the religious narratives that have justified cruelty for centuries.” Kirkus Indie hails the work as “acerbic, well-argued… a necessary call for scientifically informed thinking in religiously saturated societies.”

God’s Words invites readers to question, reconsider, and reflect. It is an unflinching call for believers and non-believers alike to examine the cultural origins of faith and to recognize the devastating consequences of blindly following doctrines that divide.

God’s Words is now available in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
