Paperback. Etat : Very Good. I've heard stories about people making wagers with the devil for their lives. Growing up in the world of Protestant fundamentalist, Bible banging, 'hell fire and brimstone preachin' Christianity, I was taught God hated gambling. But I decided to make wagers with God for my life anyway. What could I possibly lose? After several 'spiritual head injuries' my wagers lead me to the brink of spiritual insanity. I wanted to give up on God and church and everything. None of it made sense-growing up as a preacher boy, at seminary or in the seeker friendly mega-churches. To my total surprise I experienced the holy ground of the burning bush, Jacob's midnight wrestler, the slaying of my Goliaths, the love of Hosea for the whore-Gomer, the burning coal that touched Isaiah's unclean lips, the fearful thunder and gentle dove at Jesus' baptism, the angelic earthquake that broke the prison doors of the apostles, the beauty, healing and the inexplicable mystery of God's all burning love flickering like Pentecostal tongues of fire in an ancient and unexpected tradition. I lost all my wagers. I would have to unlearn God and everything I thought I knew about the Bible, salvation, the Church and what it meant to be a Christian. Turned out God was a better gambler than me.figures.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Throughout history, arguments for and against the existence of God have been largely confined to philosophy and theology, while science has sat on the sidelines. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life and greatly clarified our understanding of the world, somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being, which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. This book contends that, if God exists, some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means, especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe and the lives of humans. Treating the traditional God concept, as conventionally presented in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, like any other scientific hypothesis, physicist Stenger examines all of the claims made for God's existence. He considers the latest Intelligent Design arguments as evidence of God's influence in biology. He looks at human behavior for evidence of immaterial souls and the possible effects of prayer. He discusses the findings of physics and astronomy in weighing the suggestions that the universe is the work of a creator and that humans are God's special creation. After evaluating all the scientific evidence, Stenger concludes that beyond a reasonable doubt the universe and life appear exactly as we might expect if there were no God. This paperback edition of the New York Times bestselling hardcover edition contains a new foreword by Christopher Hitchens and a postscript by the author in which he responds to reviewers' criticisms of the original edition.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. On a 2001 trip to the cathedrals of Europe, anthropologist John Rush and his wife entered St. Mark's Basilica in Venice and encountered a mosaic depicting Jesus surrounded by mushrooms with an Amanita muscaria cap in his hand. Examining the space with new eyes, they discovered images of mushrooms and mind-altering plants all over the Basilica. Intrigued, Dr. Rush spent seven years researching and reflecting on the profound effects hallucinogens had on the founding of all three major Western religions. He concluded that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are political constructions evolving out of the use of not only Amanita muscaria, but a plethora of mind-altering substances. Failed God: Fractured Myth in a Fragile World re-examines the scriptural stories of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as told in the Bible and Qur'an and reveals them as "concocted mythical charters stemming from drug-induced romps with the super-natural." Rush shows how mind-altering substances played an instrumental role in the birth and development of Western religions and explains how they contributed to reports of "prophetic" experiences, including angry and disturbing messages from the divine. With chapters on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Rush fully addresses the effects of mind-altering substances on each tradition, convincingly discrediting the idea that they stem from actual human interaction with the divine. He also shows how an intoxicated and over-zealous Apostle Paul corrupted Jesus's simple message of human decency, forming an oppressive religious system based on fear. In a thought-provoking conclusion, Rush asks how we can continue to attribute authority to traditions that were so clearly irrationally founded and incompatible with today's world.…
