Drawing from years of experience as a priest and a teacher of philosophy, Fr. Younan presents the fallacies that often accompany thinking about a concept as difficult as God. With clarity and humor, he presents the "Five Ways" of Aquinas, discusses the big bang and evolution, the problem of evil, morality, and the complexities and abuses of religion.

The world’s shortest (but not easiest) rational guide to everyday nondual awareness. Enlightenment is the ultimate self-help because it helps you realize that the self does not exist. What looks absurd and disturbing at first can grow into inspirational insight. Oneless Oneness is a fresh look at ancient Zen philosophy—not for the dogmatic, ideological, or faint-hearted, but for rational minds willing to question deeply ingrained beliefs. Do you wonder what the Zen masters mean by enlightenment? Would you like to enjoy the benefits of enlightenment too? Did you know that you don’t ...

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus. Robert’s Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert’s Razor, similar in intent to Occam’s Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral ...

Based on the Rosa Rubicondior science and Atheism blog, this is a collection of Atheist and science articles, some short, others more lengthy, exploring the interface between religion and science and which have been published over some four years.

Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.

This is a collection of poignant, engaging, and often humorous thoughts and anecdotes about disturbing aspects of the world of religion. This is a book for religious skeptics. They will find that far from being alone, they are in elevated company.

Many risked their lives to confront the power of the ignorance, stupidity, and wrath of religion. This book, a testimony to them, is also for the unknowing, ...

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.

Vincent Bugliosi turns his critical eye on both religious believers and theatheists who reflexively oppose them. Here he indicts both camps, and argues that agnosticism is the most responsible position to take with regard to such eternal questions as the existence of God. Bugliosi examines such developments as the decline of belief in evolution and the disturbing vengefulness of God, as depicted in the Old Testament.

With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud, Philip Pullman, and Frank Zappa, Humanism’s central quest is to live with meaning with no need for the supernatural. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience, and sensitivity, Cave emphasises that we can, and should, flourish without God. Lively, provocative, and refreshingly rant-free, this audiobook is essential listening for all - whether atheist, agnostic, believer, or of no view - who wish better to understand what it means to be human.

Humanism is "the radical idea that you can be good without a god". That's how Roy Speckhardt, the longtime executive director of the American Humanist Association, defines it. His new audiobook, Creating Change Through Humanism, lays out how and why people can lead moral and ethical lives without belief in a higher power. While surveys show that more and more Americans are giving up on religion, merely abandoning traditional religious faith is just one step on a path to a better way of thinking.

Nietzsche nació en 1844 en la casa parroquial de Röcken (Alemania). Su padre, sus abuelos y sus bisabuelos eran pastores protestantes. Su padre falleció cuando el pequeño Friedrich tenía cuatro años de edad. Era un niño ensimismado y de extrema rectitud de conciencia, al punto que sus amigos lo apodaban "Pequeño Pastor". Al ingresar a la escuela secundaria, estudió piano y comenzó a componer pequeñas obras musicales.

Astronomer and TV science guy Gevin Rees just landed the interview of a lifetime with the world's most famous physicist. Remarkable, because the eccentric genius is notoriously reclusive, and he's already dead. What happens next forces Rees to run for his life from not one but two deadly assassins and global powers desperate to bury what he's just uncovered. Mind-blowing technology and solid evidence that would rewrite religious history and challenge the faith of billions.

The human being has the need to understand and explain the world. Since human groups have replaced the nomadic way of life with a sedentary lifestyle, established in cities, religions have grown in importance as a source of answers to the world around us. The ancient religions were tribal, contained several gods and went through syncretism with the religions of other tribes and states. Of the tribal gods one has become the most influential today, YHWH, or simply God, as most people know. YHWH has left throughout history to be a tribal god in a polytheistic society, to be the unique God of ...

"A mind like Oppenheimer, a heart like Nietzsche, and the soul of a killer." "Imagine if Dexter had a PhD in physics and a vendetta against God." God doesn’t play dice. But I do. I hunt the predators who kill in the name of God. I break them, one by one, shaping justice in equal measure to their crimes - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Elara has the plan. I just follow. No emotions. No hesitation. No self. And isn't that exactly what old Nietzsche wanted? But even I know better than to underestimate God. Warden and prisoner. Creator and slave. And if I am to look into His mind ...

Just as intelligent design is not a legitimate branch of biology in public educational institutions, nor should the philosophy of religion be a legitimate branch of philosophy. So argues acclaimed author John W. Loftus in this forceful takedown of the very discipline in which he was trained. In his call for ending the philosophy of religion, he argues that, as it is presently being practiced, the main reason the discipline exists is to serve the faith claims of Christianity.

Friedrich Nietzsche cuestiona las bases de la moralidad convencional y desafía al lector a reconsiderar lo que se considera bueno y malo. A través de un análisis de la historia y la psicología, expone cómo los valores morales han evolucionado, influenciados por factores culturales y de poder.

Even for the most ardent skeptic, it's hard not to be curious about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Maybe you've seen the hit musical comedy The Book of Mormon. Maybe you've heard about Holocaust victims and deceased celebrities like Elvis being posthumously baptized in Mormon churches. Or maybe you've come across some other belief or facet of the Mormon faith and can't help but wonder whether the religion is actually as wild as it seems.

This unique work is a result of multiple engagements and debates in universities, mosques, private gatherings and elsewhere. The author, Asrar Rashid, takes on the more difficult questions taking us through a labrynth of Kalām, philosophy, logic, epistemology, science, the Qurʾān, Ḥadīth and Sharīʿa.

Feminism and atheism are “dirty words” that Americans across the political spectrum love to debate - and hate. Throw them into a blender and you have a toxic brew that supposedly defies decency, respectability, and Americana. Putting gender at the center of the equation, progressive “Religious Nones” of color are spearheading an anti-racist, social justice humanism that disrupts the “colorblind” ethos of European American atheist and humanist agendas, which focus principally on church-state separation.
