Are you religious, formerly religious, raised religious, or know someone who is? Or perhaps wondering how someone could believe in a religion other than yours?Have you ever found yourself wondering how and why an otherwise intelligent person, seemingly guided by reason, could accept and live by religious beliefs? Or other sets of strongly held irrational beliefs? Or convictions that have not been subject to even the slightest amount of honest examination?’A Sunday Walk’ is a book that attempts to answer these and other related questions. It is an autobiographical story of Carl Toro, born into the Mormon religion, someone who was a stalwart believer for almost fifty years. Someone who belatedly used intellectual honesty and then exercised courage to make a very difficult decision to leave an insular community that had all the answers, and subsequently embrace a life free from religion.Written with candor, honesty, and a wry sense of humor, ’A Sunday Walk’, with prose and photographs, was conceived and inspired by a weekly walk in nature.
