Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that attempts to show an atheist's perspective on religions and social issues. Since believers rarely paint atheists in a favorable light, it is hoped the reader will gain insights into modern atheism, and make up their own minds. Just as it would be foolish to only take an atheist's view on religious matters, it would be equally unfair to only listen to the believer's presentation of atheism. Being able to hear both sides of an issue is essential for reasonable understanding. In this book I address a wide variety of topics and scenarios, and present my views on them, and in particular offer critiques on religious belief. It seems to me, many of the issues threatening our freedoms and quality of life derive from very poor critical thinking skills, unquestioning acceptance of religious beliefs and sacred cows, religious or not. Some essays are personal, most are not; all hope the reader will be open minded and willing to think critically. While not an academic textbook, if the reader is really interested in learning about atheism, and on why atheists think religions are deeply flawed and dangerous, or if they would like to test their beliefs against the yardsticks I offer, then I think they will find the material interesting, and hopefully, thought provoking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus and the Twelve Disciples actually exist? Are they just literary fictions? If so, how did Jesus acquire a biography? Was Nazareth inhabited when Mary and Joseph are supposed to have lived there? Why do Catholic Bibles have more and longer books in them than Protestant ones? Gathered together in this first volume of Zindler's collected short works readers will find 49 articles, speeches, and lectures written over the space of forty years to answer those questions and to challenge and respond to claims of religious apologists and defenders of the Jewish, Christian, Mormon, and Muslim scriptures-including a reprint and critique of the Danish cartoons that triggered rioting and murder throughout the Muslim world. A copious index will make it easy for readers to find their way back to particular materials when they need 'ammunition' to defend themselves from missionaries and other religious aggressors.

Download or read book Through Atheist Eyes: Scenes from a World That Won't Reason: Omnium - Gatherum written by Frank R. Zindler and published by Through Atheist Eyes: Scenes f. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is atheism, and what are its logical and philosophical foundations? How does it relate to humanism? Is religiosity a mental disorder, and why is it so hard to cure? Is there such a thing as free will? Do atheists have funerals? Was "The Amityville Horror" a true story? Who was Madalyn Murray O'Hair? Are we being inundated with a flood of religious disinformation? In addition to the answers of these questions, readers of this fourth volume of a five-volume series will find a lot of humor as well, including the Fun-With-Dial-an-Atheist pieces, recalled from the brink of oblivion for one last performance. Also in this volume are the words and music scores to the outrageous Dial-an-Atheist songs "Rutabaga Baby" and "Theophagy Tango." To balance all that levity, the book ends with "Poems I Have Spared," a swan song of sorts to prepare readers for the autobiographical "Volume V: Atheist at Large." A helpful index is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of 50 years, Zindler took part in over 400 informal discussions and debates on radio and television, and dozens of formal debates on public platforms. The annotated transcripts of three of these debates comprise the third book of this five-volume series. In the first debate Zindler engages John Koster, author of "The Atheist Syndrome," a book which argues that atheists are basically mentally ill due to absent or abusive fathers. In the second debate, Zindler challenges geologist and Noah's ark hunter John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research. In the third debate, creationist debater Duane T. Gish admits to Zindler that creationism is not science. A copious index makes it easy to find "ammunition" against missionaries and other religious aggressors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.

Book excerpt: Why are atheists so angry? Do all atheists really just want to lead reckless lives and live in depravity and sin? Also, do atheists support things like abortion and gay rights because they have no moral compass to speak of? Find out the answer to these questions and many more like them in this book! Atheism is the world's third largest religious oriented belief after Christianity and Islam respectively, yet so many people seem to have deeply rooted misapprehensions about what atheism is and what it is atheists believe. This book will clear up any confusion there might be about atheism and help people come to a sympathetic appreciation of the atheistic worldview, even if in the end they simply decide to agree to disagree. In this book, Tristan Vick - once a Christian and now a skeptic - shares with us selections from his popular writing as an outspoken atheist. Tackling hot-topic and controversial subjects ranging from feminism, to gay rights, marriage equality, abortion, corporal punishment, the freedom of speech, and to what it is atheists actually believe, Tristan Vick shares with us how he views a wide range of subject matter through the eyes of his atheism. Although Tristan Vick doesn't speak for all atheists, this is an excellent book to learn how and why one particular atheist sees and thinks about the world the way he does and why atheism, after giving it further consideration, isn't as problematic as so many seem to think.

Book excerpt: Prominent atheists claim the Bible is a racist text. Yet Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. read it daily. Then again, so did many ardent segregationists. Some atheists claim religion serves to oppress the masses. Yet the classic text of the French Revolution, What is the Third Estate?, was written by a priest. On the other hand, the revolutionaries ended up banning religion. What do we make of religion’s confusing role in history? And what of religion’s relationship to science? Some scientists claim that we have no free will. Others argue that advances in neurobiology and physics disprove determinism. As for whispering to the universe, an absurd habit say the skeptics. Yet prayer is a transformative practice for millions. This book explores the most common atheist critiques of the Bible and religion, incorporating Jewish, Christian, and Muslim voices. The result is a fresh, modern re-evaluation of religion and of atheism. Scott A. Shay is a Co-Founder and Chairman of Signature Bank and a longstanding Jewish community activist. Shay started a Hebrew school, an adult educational program, and chaired several Jewish educational programs. He is the author of Getting our Groove Back: How to Energize American Jewry and has been thinking about religion, reason, and modernity since wondering why his parents sent him to Hebrew school.

Book excerpt: The ancient Jews never heard of Jesus of Nazareth. That is the startling conclusion of a comprehensive investigation of Jewish records surviving from antiquity. Every literary source ever advanced by serious scholars as being a reference to the historical Jesus is examined and found to be nothing of the sort, except for the latest layers of the Babylonian Talmud. Clearly, those references were reactions to Christianity, not to Christ. The Jesus the Jews never knew provides a fascinating look into the world in which the gospels were invented. Every literary source ever advanced by serious scholars as being a reference to a historical Jesus is examined and found to be nothing of the sort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience gripping wartime stories and honest prayers by this Camp David chaplain now serving in Iraq. When words mean less and less, but money talks more and more; when blasphemy is a best seller, and eternal war has replaced hopeful diplomacy; in times like these is prayer even possible? Patrick J. McLaughlin thinks so. McLaughlin is an active duty Navy Chaplain who has ministered to heads of state and to soldiers living and dying in the heat of Iraq. No Atheists in Foxholes assembles Chaplain McLaughlin's experiences and prayers from e-mails, private notes, and personal conversations that take us real-time into realms of duty and spirit: from the quiet darkness of his infant son's New England bedroom on September 11, 2001, to the bomshelled medical tents and blistered Army Humvees of Anbar Province. Chaplain McLaughlin believes that prayer is not only possible, but critical. "We must all learn to pray for peace," he says, "and then become an answer to that prayer."

Download or read book Faitheist written by Chris Stedman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a former Evangelical Christian turned openly gay atheist who now works to bridge the divide between atheists and the religious The stunning popularity of the “New Atheist” movement—whose most famous spokesmen include Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens—speaks to both the growing ranks of atheists and the widespread, vehement disdain for religion among many of them. In Faitheist, Chris Stedman tells his own story to challenge the orthodoxies of this movement and make a passionate argument that atheists should engage religious diversity respectfully. Becoming aware of injustice, and craving community, Stedman became a “born-again” Christian in late childhood. The idea of a community bound by God’s love—a love that was undeserved, unending, and guaranteed—captivated him. It was, he writes, a place to belong and a framework for making sense of suffering. But Stedman’s religious community did not embody this idea of God’s love: they were staunchly homophobic at a time when he was slowly coming to realize that he was gay. The great suffering this caused him might have turned Stedman into a life-long New Atheist. But over time he came to know more open-minded Christians, and his interest in service work brought him into contact with people from a wide variety of religious backgrounds. His own religious beliefs might have fallen away, but his desire to change the world for the better remained. Disdain and hostility toward religion was holding him back from engaging in meaningful work with people of faith. And it was keeping him from full relationships with them—the kinds of relationships that break down intolerance and improve the world. In Faitheist, Stedman draws on his work organizing interfaith and secular communities, his academic study of religion, and his own experiences to argue for the necessity of bridging the growing chasm between atheists and the religious. As someone who has stood on both sides of the divide, Stedman is uniquely positioned to present a way for atheists and the religious to find common ground and work together to make this world—the one world we can all agree on—a better place.

Download or read book The Eyes of an Atheist written by M. A. Neeper and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious people have been known to push their beliefs onto others; in fact several religions require it. This book utilizes reason, logic, some psychology, and the experiences of someone who has been in several hundred religious debates with believers, mainly those of the Judeo-Christian faiths. Throughout this book, you will be presented with several of the most common arguments that believers utilize in order to attempt to convert people to followers; then you will be given a response that not only stops them in their religion-pushing tracks, but will give you the upper hand, and hopefully, give them something to think about, aside from simply what their preacher/pastor/reverend, etc., has told them to think. This book will allow you to defend yourself from others’ religious preachings, as well as teach you something about atheism and how informed you can be as a nonbeliever. It pushes the limits of religious discussion with examples from the Bible, logical arguments, psychological reasoning, and well-researched opinions. Do not get caught off guard again by any believer . . . Be ready and more informed.
