Did Jesus and the Twelve Disciples actually exist? Are they just literary fictions? If so, how did Jesus acquire a biography? Was Nazareth inhabited when Mary and Joseph are supposed to have lived there? Why do Catholic Bibles have more and longer books in them than Protestant ones? Gathered together in this first volume of Zindler's collected short works readers will find 49 articles, speeches, and lectures written over the space of forty years to answer those questions and to challenge and respond to claims of religious apologists and defenders of the Jewish, Christian, Mormon, and Muslim scriptures-including a reprint and critique of the Danish cartoons that triggered rioting and murder throughout the Muslim world. A copious index will make it easy for readers to find their way back to particular materials when they need 'ammunition' to defend themselves from missionaries and other religious aggressors.

This is a book that attempts to show an atheist's perspective on religions and social issues. Since believers rarely paint atheists in a favorable light, it is hoped the reader will gain insights into modern atheism, and make up their own minds. Just as it would be foolish to only take an atheist's view on religious matters, it would be equally unfair to only listen to the believer's presentation of atheism. Being able to hear both sides of an issue is essential for reasonable understanding. In this book I address a wide variety of topics and scenarios, and present my views on them, and in particular offer critiques on religious belief. It seems to me, many of the issues threatening our freedoms and quality of life derive from very poor critical thinking skills, unquestioning acceptance of religious beliefs and sacred cows, religious or not. Some essays are personal, most are not; all hope the reader will be open minded and willing to think critically. While not an academic textbook, if the reader is really interested in learning about atheism, and on why atheists think religions are deeply flawed and dangerous, or if they would like to test their beliefs against the yardsticks I offer, then I think they will find the material interesting, and hopefully, thought provoking.

What is atheism, and what are its logical and philosophical foundations? How does it relate to humanism? Is religiosity a mental disorder, and why is it so hard to cure? Is there such a thing as free will? Do atheists have funerals? Was "The Amityville Horror" a true story? Who was Madalyn Murray O'Hair? Are we being inundated with a flood of religious disinformation? In addition to the answers of these questions, readers of this fourth volume of a five-volume series will find a lot of humor as well, including the Fun-With-Dial-an-Atheist pieces, recalled from the brink of oblivion for one last performance. Also in this volume are the words and music scores to the outrageous Dial-an-Atheist songs "Rutabaga Baby" and "Theophagy Tango." To balance all that levity, the book ends with "Poems I Have Spared," a swan song of sorts to prepare readers for the autobiographical "Volume V: Atheist at Large." A helpful index is included.

What is death, and is it inevitable? How did life begin, and can it be extended indefinitely? Why is cloning a threat to theology? What does it mean to be scientific? How do we know the earth is older than is presupposed in Genesis? Who was Mitochondrial Eve, and how do we know evolution has occurred? How could wings and eyes have evolved without an Intelligent Designer? Is creationism a form of treason? How do creationists deceive the public? What's so funny about Noah's Ark? How did the kiwi get to New Zealand and why would we want to know? Is there such a thing as life after death, and do the dead have ways of communicating with the living? Answers to these questions-often humorous and sur-prising ones - are given in this second volume of THROUGH ATHEIST EYES. A copious index will make it easy for readers to find their way back to particular materials when they need 'ammunition' to defend themselves from missionaries and other religious aggressors.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.

Over the course of 50 years, Zindler took part in over 400 informal discussions and debates on radio and television, and dozens of formal debates on public platforms. The annotated transcripts of three of these debates comprise the third book of this five-volume series. In the first debate Zindler engages John Koster, author of "The Atheist Syndrome," a book which argues that atheists are basically mentally ill due to absent or abusive fathers. In the second debate, Zindler challenges geologist and Noah's ark hunter John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research. In the third debate, creationist debater Duane T. Gish admits to Zindler that creationism is not science. A copious index makes it easy to find "ammunition" against missionaries and other religious aggressors.

Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend's death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God--an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts. He writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe.

The ancient Jews never heard of Jesus of Nazareth. That is the startling conclusion of a comprehensive investigation of Jewish records surviving from antiquity. Every literary source ever advanced by serious scholars as being a reference to the historical Jesus is examined and found to be nothing of the sort, except for the latest layers of the Babylonian Talmud. Clearly, those references were reactions to Christianity, not to Christ. The Jesus the Jews never knew provides a fascinating look into the world in which the gospels were invented. Every literary source ever advanced by serious scholars as being a reference to a historical Jesus is examined and found to be nothing of the sort.
