Download or read book Hating God written by Bernard Schweizer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While atheists such as Richard Dawkins have now become public figures, there is another and perhaps darker strain of religious rebellion that has remained out of sight--people who hate God. In this revealing book, Bernard Schweizer looks at men and women who do not question God's existence, but deny that He is merciful, competent, or good. Sifting through a wide range of literary and historical works, Schweizer finds that people hate God for a variety of reasons. Some are motivated by social injustice, human suffering, or natural catastrophes that God does not prevent. Some blame God for their personal tragedies. Schweizer concludes that, despite their blasphemous thoughts, these people tend to be creative and moral individuals, and include such literary lights as Friedrich Nietzsche, Mark Twain, Zora Neale Hurston, Rebecca West, Elie Wiesel, and Philip Pullman. Schweizer shows that literature is a fertile ground for God haters. Many authors, who dare not voice their negative attitude to God openly, turn to fiction to give vent to it. Indeed, Schweizer provides many new and startling readings of literary masterpieces, highlighting the undercurrent of hatred for God. Moreover, by probing the deeper mainsprings that cause sensible, rational, and moral beings to turn against God, Schweizer offers answers to some of the most vexing questions that beset human relationships with the divine.
Download or read book Transcending the Matrix of the Imposter Gods written by Lark Aleta Batey and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2023-02-23 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heart’s abilities and power are the new frontier of spiritual exploration in humanities’ search for self-understanding. This book offers leading-edge information about the Models of Existence which provides a significant contribution to the body of work about the Power of the Heart. Beginning with an origin myth rooted in ancient history drawn from the works of Sitchin and others and expanded upon with recently revealed revelations from the WingMakers Materials, we learn a little-known story of imposter gods that initially created humanity as slave labor. Through a synthesis of myth, history, psychology, science, religion, and social issues, a picture emerges illustrating how the world of separation and oppression has been maintained to deceive humanity. Heart-centered archetypes are introduced to equip humanity with the tools necessary to transcend the programming of the imposter gods and contribute to an appreciation of why this is so important. A Source-Centered model of existence is offered to assist in our transformation.
Download or read book The Golden Compass and Philosophy written by Richard Greene and published by Open Court. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of the His Dark Materials trilogy has generated a major motion picture, a stage play, video games, and a new prequel. The series has also been highly controversial with its use of exciting adventure stories for children to comment on organized religion. These books have piqued the interest of the contributors to this fascinating volume, who use it to probe the philosophical issues that inform them. Could a golden compass, or alethiometer, really work? Can a person's soul or daemon have a mind of its own? What are the ramifications of pursuing the diabolical "intercision" process, or of trying to bring about the death of God, a plot that Lyra and her mysterious Father struggle over? These are some of the questions explored by these essays that try to get to the heart of Lyra's bewildering, inspiring, and multifaceted world.

Download or read book The War with God written by Pramit Chaudhuri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic and tragedy, from Homer's Achilles and Euripides' Pentheus to Marlowe's Tamburlaine and Milton's Satan, are filled with characters challenging and warring against the gods. Nowhere is the theme of theomachy more frequently and powerfully represented, however, than in the poetry of early imperial Rome, from Ovid's Metamorphoses at the beginning of the first century AD to Statius' Thebaid near its end. This book -- the first full-length study of human-divine conflict in Roman literature -- asks why the war against god was so important to the poets of the time and how this understudied period of literary history influenced a larger tradition in Western literature. Drawing on a variety of contexts -- politics, religion, philosophy, and aesthetics -- Pramit Chaudhuri argues for the fundamental importance of battles between humans and gods in representing the Roman world. A cast of tyrants, emperors, rebels, iconoclasts, philosophers, and ambitious poets brings to life some of the most extraordinary artistic products of classical antiquity. Based on close readings of the major extant epics and selected tragedies, the book replaces a traditionally Aeneid-centric view of imperial epic with a richer dialogue between Greek and Roman texts, contemporary authors, and diverse genres. The renewed sense of a tradition reveals how the conflicts these works represent constitute a distinctive theology informed by other discourses yet peculiar to epic and tragedy. Beginning with the Greek background and ending with a look ahead to developments in the Renaissance, this book charts the history of a theme that would find its richest expression in a time when men became gods and impiety threatened the very order of the world.
Download or read book The Apocalyptic Complex written by Nadia Al-Bagdadi and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, followed by similarly dreadful acts of terror, prompted a new interest in the field of the apocalyptic. There is a steady output of literature on the subject (also referred to as “the End Times.) This book analyzes this continuously published literature and opens up a new perspective on these views of the apocalypse. The thirteen essays in this volume focus on the dimensions, consequences and transformations of Apocalypticism. The authors explore the everyday relevance of the apocalyptic in contemporary society, culture, and politics, side by side with the various histories of apocalyptic ideas and movements. In particular, they seek to better understand the ways in which perceptions of the apocalypse diverge in the American, European, and Arab worlds. Leading experts in the field re-evaluate some of the traditional views on the apocalypse in light of recent political and cultural events, and, go beyond empirical facts to reconsider the potential of the apocalyptic. This last point is the focal point of the book.

Mina, the legendary Yasmani Ro born of fire and ice, is no longer a fugitive from her warring clans, having unified them through blood and violence. Unfortunately, her reputation for possessing a soul smoke of unimaginable power has put a bounty on her head. Now, she is being hunted by every mercenary, devil, and conjurer looking to extract that power and add it to their own. In an attempt to quash all adversaries, and bring balance to the realms, Mina and her diverse circle of embattled comrades are forced to place their trust in a mysterious and dubious ally, Athan Asios - Lord of the Dark Realm - but can he be trusted? With no options, Mina, her barbarian lover, and their motley crew of family and fighters forge a pact with the Dark Lord to ensure the realms safety against all threats. However, in doing so, they unwittingly unleash a terrifying and unexpected evil that seeks to exact the very same fate they were all fighting so hard to avoid. This war threatens to take everything from them; with casualties mounting and hope diminishing, all looks lost. Evil of immeasurable power begins to consume everything in its path and threatens to engulf all the realms before enslaving every living soul.
