Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot

Story
Seth Andrews wasn't an idiot during his 30 years as an evangelical Christian. He wasn't unintelligent, nor did his IQ shift when he ultimately left religion entirely. He considered himself thoughtful, moral, reasonable, and at least as smart as the average person. In other words, he wasn't an idiot. Yet strangely, he often sounded like one.

Story
The Old Testament is a fierce battleground for atheists and Christian apologists, with each side accusing the other of taking challenging and troubling passages out of context. In this handbook, Joshua Bowen not only provides the background to the Old Testament and the ancient Near East, but engages with hotly contested topics like slavery, failed prophecy, and the authorship of debated Old Testament books.

Story
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

Following up on the first volume, The Atheist Handbook to the Old Testament: Volume 2 takes up the challenge of providing a clear and useful guide to those wanting a better understanding of the Old Testament, including its cultural and historical background, as well as discussions on contentious topics like violence and genocide, and whether the Exodus was a real historical event. Volume two also covers the narrative of the Old Testament, from the conquest to the divided monarchy, and a brief history of Egypt to help situate the biblical text within agreed historical events.

Part 1 of Godless, "Rejecting God", tells the story of how I moved from devout preacher to atheist and beyond. Part 2, "Why I Am an Atheist", presents my philosophical reasons for unbelief. Part 3, "What's Wrong with Christianity", critiques the bible (its reliability as well as its morality) and the historical evidence for Jesus. Part 4, "Life Is Good!", comes back to my personal story, taking a case to the United States Supreme Court, dealing with personal trauma, and experiencing the excitement of Adventures in Atheism.

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today.

In this honest appraisal of his journey from believer to atheist, the author carefully explains the experiences and the reasoning process that led him to reject religious belief. The original edition of this book was published in 2006 and reissued in 2008. Since that time, Loftus has received a good deal of critical feedback from Christians and skeptics alike. In this revised and expanded edition, the author addresses criticisms of the original, adds new argumentation and references, and refines his presentation.

Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact. In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design", there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned: the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection.

Story
The assumption that Jesus existed as a historical person has occasionally been questioned in the course of the last hundred years or so, but any doubts that have been raised have usually been put to rest in favor of imagining a blend of the historical, the mythical, and the theological in the surviving records of Jesus. Historian and philosopher Richard Carrier reexamines the whole question and finds compelling reasons to suspect the more daring assumption is correct.

Publisher's Summary
Religious fundamentalists and biblical literalists present any number of arguments that attempt to disprove evolution. Those with a sympathetic ear often fail to critically examine these creationist claims, leading to an ill-informed public and, perhaps more troubling, ill-advised public policy. As Aron Ra makes clear, however, every single argument deployed by creationists in their attacks on evolution is founded on fundamental scientific, religious, and historical falsehoods - all of them. Among their most popular claims is that evolution is a religion, that there are no transitional species, that there are no beneficial mutations, and that supposedly sacred scripture is the infallible word of God. Yet, as the evidence and data plainly show, each of these claims is demonstrably and unequivocally false. There is simply no truth to creationism whatsoever, and the entire enterprise rests on a foundation of falsehoods. This book explains and exposes the worst of these lies, and should be listened to by all who honestly care about following the evidence no matter where it might lead in pursuit of the truth.

Technically Superb
Aron has the awesome ability of being able to take difficult topics and convey them in logical easy to understand way. As someone who was taught evolution was wrong and "just a theory", Aron does an excellent job of explaining the scientific method and and the difference between a theory and a hypothesis.

Aron Ra is always a good listen
Aron Ra is always a good listen. He reads as though he is speaking to an engaged audience (which he usually is), and although he speaks in the vernacular much of the time, it doesn't detract from his wealth of knowledge which he continues to pursue and pass along. I especially appreciate that this book is all about the failure of creationism to be in any way rational. I wouldn't have thought that creationists' fallacies could be so easily picked out of the pot of irrational beliefs. In fact, the creation myth is one of the "easier" myths to dispel, or at least have a decent conversation about - because, for me at least, it's just another creation myth out of the current thousands of creation myths. I hope he gets another book out soon.

Fantastic
In this day and age, I don't understand how anyone can consider creationism as anything but nonsense. This book thoroughly puts creationism in its place and leaves no doubt, to the intellectually honest, that evolution happened and continues to occur.
I've listened to this audible book well over a dozen times. Aron Ra's material has been a wonderful tool for debating and debunking creationists.

The Inner-Machinations of Creationism Dissected
After watching Aron's YouTube series of the same name, I was delighted to find this on audible and hear it in greater detail in his own voice no less. The information, references and insight within has been a great boon to me in my own online debates with fundamentalists and biblical literalists. Aron clearly breaks down the lies used by creation apologists succinctly and proceeds to reveal the dishonesty, fallacious reasoning and deceptive tactics they use to "teach the controversy".

A must read
This book is not for anyone but the ones that want the truth, if you are a believer that no matter what the evidence is, you will still believe, skip this book unless you are just curious and after listening you know this is the truth but will never admit. If you need clarity as to what are the facts are about evolution versus creation, you will not regret this book. The author has a great voice, a pleasure to listen to. The content is clear and simple to understand for the average person. I loved it, highly recommended.

Thank you Aron Ra for this informative book. I knew the Bible was wrong but didn't know enouph about Darwinism and evolution. Now I feel equipped for intellectual discussions.
