ISBN: 9780195385045 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea that religion has a dangerous tendency to promote violence is part of the conventional wisdom of Western societies, and it underlies many of our institutions and policies, from limits on the public role of religion to efforts to promote liberal democracy in the Middle East. William T. Cavanaugh challenges this conventional wisdom by examining how the twin categories of religion and the secular are constructed.

Living Without God: New Directions for Atheists, Agnostics, Secularists, and the Undecided
ISBN: 9781582435305 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ronald Aronson has a mission: to demonstrate that a life without religion can be coherent, moral, and committed. In the last few years, the "New Atheists" -- Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens -- have created a stir by criticizing religion and the belief in God. Aronson moves beyond the discussion of what we should not believe, proposing contemporary answers to Immanuel Kant's three great questions: What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope? Grounded in the sense that we are deeply dependent and interconnected beings who are rooted in nature,...

Spiritual Atheism
ISBN: 9781582435640 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last 160 years, a great dilemma has been hatching out of Western spiritual consciousness. In our modern existence, we have lost faith in the traditional routes by which human beings have come to experience the Divine, and an acceptance of oneself as having a place in the order of the universe. In Spiritual Atheism, Steve Antinoff argues that the dilemma burning within the West has been given its most fundamental expression by Kirilov in Dostoyevsky's The Possessed "God is necessary, and so must exist . . . Yet I know that he doesn't exist, and can't exist . . . But don't you...

LCCN: 2009936698 The author asserts that if there is no God, then fifty-five absurdities follow such as: humans possess no unique value, there is no objective morality, the existence of humanity has no meaning or purpose. Without a transcendent standard or source, pursuits and values are delusions of the human species. The information required for the intricate complexity of the universe, from nothing or chaos to life on earth and the structure of the cosmos, has no contributor in the absence of a transcendent intelligence.

Godless for God's Sake - Nontheism in Contemporary Quakerism
ISBN: 9780951157862 / Angielski / Miękka / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 27 Quakers from 13 Yearly Meetings in four countries tell how they combine committed membership of the Religious Society of Friends with rejection of traditional belief in a transcendent, personal and supernatural God. For some of these 'nontheist' Friends, God is no more (but no less) than a symbol of the wholly human values of 'mercy, pity, peace and love'. For others, the idea of God and 'God-language' has become an archaism and a stumbling-block. Readers who seek a faith or world-view free of supernaturalism, whether they are Friends, members of other traditions or drop-outs from old-time...

Unlike the first part, "Bible Propaganda," this book only examined scriptures in the first four chapters. The greater part of this book "The War on Earth, from Satan's Eyes" is a sci-fi loosely based around the Battle of Armageddon, as Michael leads Yahweh's vast armies against any and all who would not bow down to...
