Download or read book The Atheist s Bible written by Georges Minois and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive biography of the Treatise of the Three Impostors, a controversial nonexistent medieval book. Like a lot of good stories, this one begins with a rumor: in 1239, Pope Gregory IX accused Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor, of heresy. Without disclosing evidence of any kind, Gregory announced that Frederick had written a supremely blasphemous book—De tribus impostoribus, or the Treatise of the Three Impostors—in which Frederick denounced Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad as impostors. Of course, Frederick denied the charge, and over the following centuries the story played out across Europe, with libertines, freethinkers, and other “strong minds” seeking a copy of the scandalous text. The fascination persisted until finally, in the eighteenth century, someone brought the purported work into actual existence—in not one but two versions, Latin and French. Although historians have debated the origins and influences of this nonexistent book, there has not been a comprehensive biography of the Treatise of the Three Impostors. In The Atheist’s Bible, the eminent historian Georges Minois tracks the course of the book from its origins in 1239 to its most salient episodes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, introducing readers to the colorful individuals obsessed with possessing the legendary work—and the equally obsessive passion of those who wanted to punish people who sought it. Minois’s compelling account sheds much-needed light on the power of atheism, the threat of blasphemy, and the persistence of free thought during a time when the outspoken risked being burned at the stake.

Download or read book The New Atheist Crusaders and Their Unholy Grail written by Becky Garrison and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenge has been issued on matters of faith and Becky Garrison meets it head on in this witty yet poignant answer to the Anti-God gurus Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. Becky Garrison, religious satirist and senior contributing editor for The Wittenberg Door, is taking a stand. Where most Christians assume the character of the Cowardly Lion chanting, "I do believe, I do believe, I do believe," Garrison refuses to simply thrust tracts at these self-proclaimed infidels. Instead, Garrison steels her pen and takes on the ungodly program of the New Atheists, skewering each argument with her sharp satiric wit. Garrison turns aside the atheists' assault without ignoring its real criticisms, namely, the church's inadequate response to war, evolution, medical ethics, social justice, and other important issues in the post-9/11 world.
Download or read book Inside the Atheist Mind written by Anthony DeStefano and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is only one way to deal with bullies, even in this politically correct world—and that is to crush them." USA Today bestselling author Anthony DeStefano is tired of playing nice. After years of responding patiently and agreeably to the pseudo-intellectual arguments and tactics of today’s militant atheists, he’s had enough. In this entertaining, no-holds-barred retort to atheism and its proponents, DeStefano reveals the intellectual bankruptcy at atheism’s core and equips believers to respond to its hollow arguments. A witty and devastating takedown of the "new atheist" position, Inside the Atheist Mind systematically debunks the theories of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, and others, revealing how inconsistent, illogical, and frankly ludicrous their conclusions truly are. Poking fun at atheists in a clever and intelligent way, DeStefano demonstrates just how full of holes the new atheism is and reveals that it is actually a "religion" of its own, complete with a creed, a set of commandments and sacraments, and a rigid moral code with rewards and punishments. More than that, DeStefano exposes that atheism is itself a "superstition" of the worst kind. Using irony and a healthy dose of playful sarcasm, Inside the Atheist Mind lampoons, teases, and deflates the atheist position, unmasking it for what it is--an empty, intellectually barren philosophy, devoid of any logic and common sense.
Download or read book The Bumper Book of Blasphemy written by Mann Drummond and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bumper Book of Blasphemy looks at all the bloated claims religions make in favour of gods, goddesses, spirits and other holy, magical creatures, and pokes them until they evaporate in the bright light of rational analysis. Irreverent, vulgar, merciless and laugh-out-loud funny, this book drags deities, souls and sins, post-death theme parks, miracles and all the other supernatural woo-woo out into the open. It examines the devious and illogical drivel preached about supernatural spirits, their magical, universe-juggling powers, and their bizarre fascination with our genitals and what we do with them. Here, the sheer silliness of utterances by worshippers, their peculiar beliefs, their claims to moral superiority, their opinions on atheists; and the privilege they expect religion to enjoy in this life, are hauled behind the barn and kicked repeatedly. If you're not sure that's your cup of tea, here's a trigger warning: Don't read this book unless you possess the intellectual and emotional grit to deal with reasoning or opinion you don't agree with or like. But do make sure you buy it first. Then, if you have a religious gland in your body, just put it down. You won't survive the tonnage of reason, argument and evidence, all enriched by quotations from some of the smartest people around. But if you're a sceptic, you'll love it. Adult ideas and language are rampant throughout, along with jokes, quotations, facts and uncompromising opinions. Buy it. Read it. Send a copy to your friends. If you do, celebrate: there'll soon be one more of us, and one less of them. Hey, send one to your enemies too. It's not like you're going to go to hell for it.
Download or read book The Gospel of Atheism and Freethought According to Sherlock written by Michael Sherlock and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel of Atheism and Freethought - According to Sherlock turns blasphemy into an art form. None of the major religions are safe from Sherlock's unrelenting and antagonistic wit. In this three-part parody-titled atheist gospel, Sherlock shows that the legendary "prophet" of the Islamic faith was a paedophile, that Christianity was built on a textbook scam, that Jesus is not the reason for the season and that there is no reason for Jesus at all. If this book doesn't result in a fatwa or Pat Robertson dropping dead from a massive coronary episode, it will at least provide the atheist reader with food for both thought and laughter.
Download or read book The Atheists Are Revolting written by Nick Gisburne and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From The Rational Response Squad to The Blasphemy Challenge. From The God Delusion to The End of Faith and The God Who Wasn't There, atheists are on the move and in the news. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Brian Flemming, all have set the tone for modern atheism, openly challenging religion in society and to demand equal air time in an increasingly intolerant religious/political environment. Outspoken atheist Nick Gisburne has written a new book for atheists, at times openly parodying Christianity, but always keeping both eyes firmly on the central, serious theme: give no respect to a belief system based on ancient myths, for which there is no proof. This book hacks at the shiny veneer of 'God is love' and reveals the true message of the Christian religion: 'serve God or burn'. Part of the rising phenomenon known as the 'YouTube Atheists', popular video blogger Nick Gisburne returns with a feast of short, sharp arguments to rattle the foundations of Christianity. Look out, The Atheists Are Revolting!

Download or read book The Deluded Atheist written by Douglas Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street-Level Apologetics: Where the Reason Meets the Road In this pithy, punch-packing book, Douglas Wilson responds to atheist Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion. Originally published in 2008, The Deluded Atheist stands out among the many responses to the new atheists for its precision and wit. Wilson reduces Dawkins's atheistic criticism to groundless complaints and tail-chasing unreason, showing how the arguments Dawkins puts for atheism cannot stand up even when scrutinized by their own internal logic. When Dawkins calls aspirations to atheism "brave and splendid," Wilson retorts that a materialistic view of humanity as mere protoplasm simply doesn't give much scope for such aims: "Get yourself a double-layered Hefty garbage bag and fill it with some kind of vegetable soup, shake it for a bit, and you have some idea of just how lofty an aspiration can actually be." You might be better off getting yourself a copy of this book and the more hopeful worldview that Christianity provides. Douglas Wilson has been the pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, for over forty years. He and His wife, Nancy, have three children and seventeen grandchildren. Doug is the author of scores of books, including Apologetics in the Void: Hometown Hurly-Burly.

Download or read book Atheists written by Nick Spencer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atheism has been increasingly visible in recent years but, despite high-profile books both promoting and attacking it, little has been written on its origins or history. Atheists: the Origin of the Species tells that story - from Machiavelli and Marlowe to Dennett and Dawkins - but goes beyond the usual godless suspects. It also tells the story of Thomas Aikenhead hung for his blasphemous atheism, Percy Shelley expelled for adolescent atheism, and the Marquis de Sade imprisoned for libertine atheism. It is the story of the French Revolutionary Terror and the Soviet League of the Militant Godless; of working-class British secularists and upper-class French Positivists; religious fundamentalists and their Darwinian opponents. Even the Nazis make a brief appearance. This is not a single story. Atheists: the Origin of the Species argues that, rather than being a straightforward philosophical or scientific position about the non-exsistence of God, atheism was, and remains, a cluster of different social and political phenomena each with its subtly different hopes and hatreds. Just as Marxist atheism collapsed, to be replaced by an angry, Darwinian rejection of God, so New Atheism is dying and atheist churches are (re-)emerging. In this way, Nick Spencer argues, atheisms will define and even dominate the 21st century - but only, ironically, because God is back.
Download or read book Is Atheism Dead written by Eric Metaxas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 TIME cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking—and often withering—new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe. Taken all together, he shows atheism not merely to be implausible and intellectually sloppy, but now demonstrably ridiculous. Perhaps the only unanswered question on the subject is why we couldn’t see this sooner, and how embarrassed we should be about it.
Download or read book The Blasphemy Tour written by Jass Richards and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Road Trip Dialogues, the prequel, Rev and Dylan are charged with blasphemy for adding “‘Blessed are they that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone.’ Psalms 137:9” to a Right-to-Life billboard just outside Algonquin Park. As a result of a well-publicized court trial, the American Atheist Consortium offers an all-expenses-paid speaking tour of American Bible Colleges. Guess what happens. The Blasphemy Tour -- where philosophy meets stand-up. “If I were Siskel and Ebert I would give this book Two Thumbs Way Up. Yes, it is blasphemy toward organized religion, but it gives you tons of Bible verses to back up its premises. And besides, it’s pure entertainment. There’s a prequel which I recommend you read first: The Road Trip Dialogues. I only hope there will be a third book.” L. K. Killian "Jass Richards has done it again. As I tell anyone who wants to listen, Jass is a comedy genius, she writes the funniest books and always writes the most believable unbelievable characters and scenes ... It’s both funny and made me think at the same time. ... Overall, I highly recommend anything by Jass, especially this one book, which is full of comedy gold and food for thought.” " May Arend, Brazilian Book Worm “Irreverent. Definitely irreverent.” Anon
