Dieses Hörbuch ist eines über die Ansichten eines Vernunftmenschen und Forschers aus Leidenschaft. Die Rede ist von Richard Dawkins - Evolutionsbiologe, Aufklärer und Religionskritiker. Richard Dawkins ist einer der einflussreichsten gegenwärtigen Intellektuellen. Mit dem Erscheinen seines Bestsellers "Der Gotteswahn" wurde Dawkins einer großen Öffentlichkeit als vehementer Religionskritiker bekannt. Seither gilt er als einer der bekanntesten Vertreter des sog.

Does God exist? If yes, then why can't we see Him? If we can't see Him then how can we be sure of His existence? If God exists, then why did He create the universe, and what is the purpose and goal of my life? If God is all powerful, then how can we have free will? If we don't have free will, then how can He hold us responsible for our actions? There is so much suffering and evil in this world that a merciful and powerful God seems improbable. These and many other similar questions cross our minds at least at some point in our life.

Do you know how fortunate you are to have the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights in our Constitution? Do you know what's in it? Do you know how we got it? Did you know it is under constant attack from motivated interests? Knowledge, knowing the real facts through source checking and critical thinking, is both power and comfort. Is it propaganda that America was founded on christian principles, a televangelist's misinterpretation of history? Or is it true, and that's why we only see in America the Christian interpretation of everything?

"The Necessity of Atheism" is an essay on atheism by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, printed in 1811 when he was a student at University College, Oxford. He argues that an educated man ought to turn away from superstition and that education is essential because religion is really about power.

Über Gott reden ja viele, wenngleich die meisten nur glauben, etwas über den Allmächtigen zu wissen. Und die, die etwas zu wissen glauben, Religionswissenschaftler, behaupten, Naturwissenschaftler könnten über Gott sowieso nichts sagen. Die drei Autoren dieses Hörbuchs treten den Gegenbeweis an: der Astrophysiker Harald Lesch, der an der Hochschule der Jesuiten Philosophie unterrichtet, der Psychiater Manfred Spitzer, dem Wahnvorstellungen nicht fremd sind, und der Intellektuellste unter den Kabarettisten, Günther "Gunkl" Paal.

By daring to question "sacred" religion, challenging your childhood beliefs, and risking eternal damnation, you will discover an appreciation for religion on a new level, as well as a renewed appreciation for the human race. Through a unique blend of science, philosophy, theology, and a touch of humor, you will see how you can trust your logic and reason, be true to yourself, and embrace God - not as a being, but as a concept - "The Concept".

This rather incoherent work by Russian anarchist philosopher Michael Bakunin is described in a way that he described his own life: a fragment. Rife with criticisms on Christianity and the technocracy, Bakunin presses communist values without fear of bordering extremism. Listening to this work is like walking through Bakunin’s disjointed mind; often cutting off and starting mid-sentence, including footnotes several paragraphs long as if his thoughts suddenly start to wander, as well as ending rather abruptly mid-sentence.

In Evidence Considered: A Response to Evidence for God, Glenton Jelbert seeks to explore and test the arguments advanced by apologists and ultimately show why none of them persuade him. As a former Christian, Jelbert handles the topic with sensitivity. He examines the evidence for God, by responding to a series of 50 essays by Christian apologists. These essays were written by 37 different authors and collected together by William Dembski and Michael Licona in Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy and Science.

Apology Not Accepted is a no-holds-barred critique of common Christian apologetics. Blount is direct, informative, and highly entertaining.

Richard Marshall lost his faith in Christianity as a child. After returning to the Bible two decades later, while traveling homeless across the US, he finally concluded there were too many problems with the Christian religion for him to be born again.

Drawing from years of experience as a priest and a teacher of philosophy, Fr. Younan presents the fallacies that often accompany thinking about a concept as difficult as God. With clarity and humor, he presents the "Five Ways" of Aquinas, discusses the big bang and evolution, the problem of evil, morality, and the complexities and abuses of religion.

The Fall of Lucifer or the Origin of Evil by E.T. Smets is a poem which typifies perfectly the concept of religious and philosophical freedom and a verse to rival even the the darkest works by Edgar Allen Poe. Although because of the subject matter, it was very rarely recited in public during the latter part of the 19th century or first half of the 20th century. Instead it became classed as a work of demonology and neglected by the poet societies of the time.

Leona is cast into bewildering disgrace and poverty with a baby, a violent husband, and shattered faith. She hacks through the bones of her Mennonite naiveté to confront harsh realities. This riveting and morally unflinching memoir, recommended by Ms. Magazine, delivers intense suspense, humor, and unusual wisdom.

Humanism is "the radical idea that you can be good without a god". That's how Roy Speckhardt, the longtime executive director of the American Humanist Association, defines it. His new audiobook, Creating Change Through Humanism, lays out how and why people can lead moral and ethical lives without belief in a higher power. While surveys show that more and more Americans are giving up on religion, merely abandoning traditional religious faith is just one step on a path to a better way of thinking.

Many Christians are fearful of engaging in conversation with atheists - believing that they will be hostile to Christian beliefs and conversations about the Bible. This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches understand more about the questions and issues that atheists of various kinds have about Christian faith, and to reach out to them with the good news of the Gospel.

Christian Child, Atheist Adult is the autobiographical narrative of a Southern Baptist deacon's son who discovered just how misled he had been during his formative years; ultimately making a transformation into one of Christianity's most staunch critics. Gregory Blount provides accounts of the social and familial tactics often used by many faith-based religions to indoctrinate and entrap members. The book also provides a broad consideration of the scientific, historical, and philosophical answers that led the author to develop his perspective.

Infinity and God have been close bedfellows over the recent millennia of human thought. But this is James A. Lindsay's point. These two ideas are thought, mere concepts. Lindsay shows in a concise and readable manner that infinity is an abstraction, and shows that, in all likelihood, so is God, particularly if he has infinite properties.
