The primary objective of this book (Volume 1) is to provide a balanced and in-depth examination of Islam by presenting viewpoints from both believers, who consider it a complete divine religion, and nonbelievers, particularly atheists, who argue that it is a human construct designed with motives of persuasion and intimidation to serve personal and political interests.

My primary objective is to offer a thorough and balanced exploration of Islam, a religion often perceived as a divine and absolute truth applicable to all times and contexts. This work seeks to present both supporting and opposing viewpoints, grounded in evidence and logical reasoning from each perspective.

Holy Shit! The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, is about the deception, lies and manipulation that has been used by the religious representatives to control the people for far too long. This book will open your eyes to the blatant falsehoods, which have been repeated, over and over again, indoctrinating our children throughout the generations with a series of stories, which are now seen to be so obviously not true. James Chapman presents a bold and unflinching exploration of the claims made by religious believers, and meticulously dismantles their arguments with the use of ...

I see Christianity, as we know it today, as an outgrowth of mostly one mind and one perspective and that is the mind and perspective of Paul the apostle who was the alter-ego for another man who lived and wrote in the AD 80s and AD 90s. What I have discovered is that Paul, in writing about himself, is not writing about philosophy and movements that were later molded into a world religion; he is writing firstly about the very real events in which he participated, and only secondarily about his own singular effort to concoct a new religious perspective.

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.

One of the greatest thinkers on the origins of Christianity and a renowned expert on Gnostic and Hermetic literature presents, in this snug volume first published in 1907, the lost teachings of Jesus. Not found in the canonical Gospels and, indeed, frequently dismissed as blasphemous or heretical or "reworked" by later editors to comply with perceived tradition, this beautiful hymn is not just of interest to Christian mystics but to anyone who values wise words well spoken. For those interested in mysticism, Gnosticism, and esoteric traditions.

Cloud 9: The Sky as Humanity’s First Screen The sky has always been more than just a backdrop to our lives—it is our first screen, our first mirror, our first source of content and creation. Long before technology, people looked upward to clouds, stars, winds, and waters for messages, guidance, and manifestations. Cloud 9 reframes the meaning of “being on cloud nine.” It’s not just about fleeting happiness or love—it’s about standing in the eye of divine power, where storms cleanse, clouds form sacred symbols, and energy is released for transformation. This book invites you to...

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.

Creer o no creer en Dios. Esa parece ser la dialéctica histórica en cuanto al fenómeno espiritual y religioso en el ser humano. Sin embargo, olvidamos que existe otra posición intermedia entre ambos polos: el agnosticismo. Este pequeño ensayo hace un repaso a algunos de los «agnósticos» más famosos de la historia, e intenta explicar esa posición vital que ni cree ni descree en lo sobrenatural, sino que se mantiene prudente y expectante a pruebas empíricas que avalen una posición u otra. CAPÍTULOS: Introducción. Definición de agnosticismo. Breve historia de los fundamentos del...

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.
