This book covers in a humorous way a man's journey out of the Mormon Church into atheism. In addition he was a Mormon temple worker, married six times, father of 14 children, two of which were adopted, and holds two master's degrees from BYU, in child development and human psychology. He has many books about what it was like growing up in in Utah being a Mormon and describes all their crazy ways.   

The deepest riddle of Christianity is only this: How could anyone possibly believe it? In answer to this question, The Convert tells the true story of one man's punishing journey across the extremes of human experience, through fire and heartbreak, passion and betrayal, prison and madness, to the very brink of belief. This is the story of one man and one moment - the moment of God's triumph or sanity's defeat.

We are born into a confusingly pluralistic world, often with little guidance. A Path to Heaven begins from an agnostic perspective and walks step-by-step through the middle of Christianity. Having been an analytical young agnostic, Queen addresses the questions that arose in his search for the truth. Having been a youth and campus minister, he addresses the questions posed to him by numerous high school, college, and graduate students in their searches.

Although humankind today can peer far deeper into the universe than ever before, we still find ourselves surrounded by the unknown and perhaps the unknowable. All great science fiction has used the human imagination to explore that realm beyond the known, just as theistic religions have done since long before the genre existed. As Hugo Award-winning author Robert Charles Wilson argues, the genre’s freewheeling speculation and systematic world-building make it a unique lens for understanding, examining, and assessing the truth claims of religions in general and Christianity in particular.

¿Cómo darle sentido a nuestra existencia sin un ser superior o un Dios que nos ordene? Vivimos una crisis que va desde las Iglesias hasta el surgimiento de una "fe" distinta a la que conocíamos: el "nuevo ateísmo", con divulgadores connotados como el biólogo Richard Dawkins. Y mientras predomina en Occidente el racionalismo científico a ultranza, el espacio para la reflexión sobre lo transcendente y la duda sobre Dios ocupan un lugar marginal en nuestra cultura. Ante esto, Joseph Ramos plantea la necesidad de retomar ese diálogo perdido, pero no desde la fe, que solo sirve al que la tiene, sino desde la razón.

Future atheists have accepted that there is a God of some type. The battle between science and religion is over. In the 31st century, it is sensible to believe in God, but even so, there are other matters that are not settled. Tomorrow’s atheist has a very different and most significant matter to wrestle with. This letter anticipates that battle, and using history that hasn’t happened yet, makes an argument.

L'idée que la religion appartient au Moyen-Âge, un temps où l'on pouvait croire tout et n'importe quoi, reste populaire. Au cours des siècles, différents courants ont contribué à créer un climat hostile à l'idée de Dieu. C'est pourquoi, beaucoup tentent de rompre avec la religion traditionnelle, en explorant d'autres voies.

Au fil de son témoignage, atypique et émouvant, Guillaume aborde les grandes questions philosophiques qui l’ont amené à croire en Dieu. Il n’esquive aucun sujet: la moralité, la relation entre foi et science, le surnaturel, le problème du mal, la fiabilité de la Bible... Avec une rigueur intellectuelle exceptionnelle, une authenticité remarquable et un humour pétillant, il emmène le lecteur dans ses propres questionnements et ses surprenantes découvertes.

Новый бестселлер, меняющий мировоззрение, от автора «Эгоистичный ген».Ричард Докинз известен миру не только как выдающийся эволюционный биолог, но и как один из самых ярких мыслителей современности. С его активной позицией по вопросам религии многие готовы поспорить, но это глубоко содержательные, аргументированные споры, в которых рождается если не истина, то просвещение.

Theism or Atheism, published in 1921, examines not only arguments for and against the existence of God, but also the practical usefulness of such a concept. The author writes, “Atheism would mean in practice an enormous concentration of energy upon purely human affairs, and a judgment of conduct in terms of human happiness and prosperity.”

In this book, we explore the belief in naturalism as an atheistic worldview grounded in our best understanding of the world and reality. We delve into the concept of moral naturalism, which allows us to evaluate ethical principles and behaviors based on the natural world and the well-being of sentient beings.
