A biography that restores America's foremost 19th-century champion of reason and secularism to our still contested 21st-century public square. During the Gilded Age, which saw the dawn of America's enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as "the Great Agnostic". The nation's most famous orator, he raised his voice on behalf of Enlightenment reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state with a vigor unmatched since America's revolutionary generation.

Our species is angry on a deep level. We know something has been wrong for a long time. We are tired of being thrown the scraps. This is primal, guttural; the scream of an exhausted humanity who will not take no for an answer. Who refuse to be duped any longer. It is the voice of reason and the shout of change! This audiobook is a reminder of who we are in the natural world and a call to stand up and be proud to be human without the spiritual story.

Robert Rich has made a lasting influence in the world of ambient and electronic music for four decades. Bird Servant represents his first published book of poetry.

Drew Avery guides you to a “basecamp” of sensible, logical, rational faith. A place where you—the agnostic, the “none,” the “spiritual”—can leave vagueness behind. A place where you may find new purpose and the needed strength to live a better life and to help make a better world.

Sin lugar a dudas, uno de los libros más enigmáticos y misteriosos que se han escrito jamás; es el libro de Enoc. De los seis libros que componen la obra original de Enoc, el libro de los vigilantes o de los ángeles caídos es uno de los más interesantes y controvertidos, debido a que contiene narraciones más detalladas que las del canon bíblico (Génesis) en cuanto a la rebelión del grupo de ángeles que vinieron a la tierra, y que mas tarde dieran origen a los inicuos Nefilims.

Have you ever questioned, or doubted, what you’ve read in the Bible? In a hypothetical trial where the Church wants to sentence Doubt to death, this book discusses many of the discrepancies, contradictions, historical conflicts, and problematic passages in the Bible - just as they are debated in seminaries and theological schools around the world. Doubt sheds light on the dangers of taking the Bible literally.

Based in the idea that social phenomena are best studied through the lens of different disciplinary perspectives, Empty Churches studies the growing number of individuals who no longer affiliate with a religious tradition. Coeditors Jan Stets, a social psychologist, and James Heft, a historian of theology, bring together leading scholars in the fields of sociology, developmental psychology, gerontology, political science, history, philosophy, and pastoral theology.

This book may allow some people to overcome their fear of the vengeful, cruel God they were taught to believe in as children. It may allow more people to speak out when they hear religious leaders use their God to incite people to harm others. It may even allow more of us to admit, "I could be wrong."

Extraordinary Popular Delusions of Our Times is a modern sequel to Charles Mackay's 1841 literary classic "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds."

He wrote about alchemy, which was practiced with all seriousness by great thinkers of the time like Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon.

What happens when we die? Life begins with an orgasm, can this be topped at the end? The greatest moment of the author's life was watching his mother-in-law die. At this moment, observing her in a state of ecstasy, he came to understand death maybe is not the end. This began his years of work as a hospice volunteer and a student of the sometimes supernatural dying process.

Two thousand five hundred years ago, Confucius, Buddha, and Socrates all concluded, at slightly different times and thousands of miles apart, that a caring god simply did not exist. Then Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ (or rather the religion created in his name 334 years after his death) did their best to enslave humanity and hide that simple wisdom from us.

Amor à maneira de Deus sugere respostas a essas questões. Em cinco capítulos, o Padre Júlio Lancellotti apresenta ao leitor o amor divino como um exercício de compaixão e de misericórdia. Aqui, o amor não é um sentimento, mas um compromisso. Não é exercício de força, mas demonstração de fraqueza. Não é uma abstração ingênua, mas a escolha de humanizar a vida dos vulneráveis e também dos poderosos.

The author writes, “Atheism would mean in practice an enormous concentration of energy upon purely human affairs, and a judgment of conduct in terms of human happiness and prosperity.”
