The Jesus Puzzle: Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ? - Earl Doherty



[Attention]
I was warned that the book that I posted here is the novel version. If you have the same book as the title suggests, send it to my email or I'll delete the post.


"The most compelling argument ever published in support of the theory that Jesus never existed as an historical person." Frank Zindler, American Atheist Magazine

A new presentation of the argument that no historical Jesus existed. A full and comprehensive survey of the question through an examination of the early Christian record, canonical and non-canonical, from Q to the Gospels, from the earliest Pauline epistles to the second century apologists, along with Jewish, Gnostic, and Greco-Roman documents of the time. The philosophy of the era, its religious expression in the pagan mystery cults, fascinating glimpses into the historical background of the period, an in-depth consideration of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, are only some of the additional topics covered in the book. A richly-detailed, highly lucid and entertaining account of how Christianity began without an historical Jesus of Nazareth, who came to life only on the pages of the Gospels. The book has been styled for the general reader, though the scholarly community will find it of value as well. Amazon

Buñuel: Atheist Thanks to God (2005)



"If someone could prove God's luminous existence to me right now it would have no effect whatsoever upon my behavior. I cannot believe that God watches me at all times that he's interested in my health, my desires, my mistakes. I cannot believe, and in any case I do not accept that he could punish me for all eternity. What am I to him? Nothing. A shadow of mud. My passage on this earth is so brief that I leave no traces. I am a poor mortal. I am of no consequence in either space or time. God has no interest in us. And if he exists, it's as if he didn't."

A documentary on surreal film maker Luis Buñuel and his political and religious allegory, The Milky Way (La voie lactée).

Buñuel loves to target religion in his movies, he satirizes and exaggerates it with subtle images, such as in The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie (Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie).

The Milky Way is a good example to that kind of critical language.

However we should ask this question: Is Buñuel really an atheist?

Maybe. Maybe not in terms of usual atheism. He obsessively appreciates the mysteries within Christianity, for example adores the image of Virgin Mary, but he denies the existence of God, and portrays Jesus as an ordinary man whose miraculous powers were suspicious.

He is a modern heretic, and totally against dogma.

I also may upload The Milky Way in near future.

Islam Unveiled: Disturbing Questions About the World's Fastest-Growing Faith - Robert Spencer



To proclamations that Islam is a religion of peace, Spencer responds (in chapters entitled with questions such as "Is Islam Compatible with Liberal Democracy?" and "Is Islam Tolerant of Non-Muslims?") with evidence, historical and recent, of harsh treatment of women, other religionists, and social minorities in Islamic societies. Besides the facts Spencer presents, his citations of the Qur'an; the hadiths, or sayings and deeds of Muhammad; and Islamic authorities across the liberal-to-fundamentalist spectrum verify attitudes and practices that secular Westerners and present-day Jews and Christians don't think of as peaceable, just, or decent. For instance, slavery and polygamy may be waning in Islamic societies, but they aren't disapproved of or banned because the Qur'an and hadiths endorse them. Islam hasn't adapted to change nearly as much as Judaism and Christianity have, and that accounts for its savage relations with the West. Spencer doesn't see either Islam moderating or the West regarding Islam realistically any time soon. Barring "some wondrous intervention from the Merciful One," he concludes, the immediate future "will be difficult." Alarmingly cogent. Ray Olson

Letters from the Earth - Mark Twain



Mark Twain's collected essays and short stories in Letters From the Earth never published until 1965 due to they were blasphemy for some.

The book consists of two parts: first section gathers Mark Twain's plays on Biblical themes dealing with God and Christianity, and second section contains his unpublished manuscripts.

"He [man] thinks he is the Creator's pet. He believes the Creator is proud of him; he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes, and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to Him, and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea? Fills his prayers with crude and bald and florid flatteries of Him, and thinks He sits and purrs over these extravagancies and enjoys them. He prays for help, and favor, and protection, every day; and does it with hopefulness and confidence, too, although no prayer of his has ever been answered. The daily affront, the daily defeat, do not discourage him, he goes on praying just the same. There is something almost fine about this perseverance. I must put one more strain upon you: he thinks he is going to heaven!"

Superstition: Belief in the Age of Science - Robert L. Park



"If a tree falls on a a scientist in a forest with no one else around does it mean he won't make a sound? Not if that scientist is the indomitable Bob Park, the skeptic's skeptic, the Ralph Nader of nonsense, the man who rose from the (nearly) dead to pen this uncompromising critique of superstition and the beliefs that follow once you abandon science and reason. Read this book. Now." Michael Shermer

Science is the only way of knowing—everything else is just superstition, says physicist Park (Voodoo Science) in this thinly argued rehash of the debate between science and religion. Among other questions, Park revisits experiments regarding the healing power of intercessory prayer (prayer for the healing of others), citing several studies that he claims are meaningless because it is impossible to measure prayer. Further, he says, only science, not prayer, con protect us from so-called acts of God, like a tsunami. Park argues against the existence of the soul by debunking a tale of reincarnation and even interprets the Bible to his own purposes. But this chapter also shows how disjointed his arguments can be, as he jumps from the Plan B contraceptive to genes and memes to stem cells and ghosts. Such issues have been covered more eloquently and in greater depth by thinkers like Daniel Dennett in Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon. Publishers Weekly

Darwin and Evolution - Michael Ghiselin (Audiobook)



In 1859, Charles Darwin published a vastly important work, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. For centuries, man had been seen as a created species, distinct from any other animal. Then, Darwin persuasively argued that mankind and other species are descended from common ancestors. His theory of "natural selection", also known as "survival of the fittest", explains how life evolved through natural processes. By the 1950s, most scientists accepted the theory. However, it upset many who believed that life was created by a supernatural God, a debate which is perpetuated today.
