1. Introduction 1.1. Christians often assert that their fundamental proof for the existence of god is based on these four basic ideas:– – Their personal relationship with god – – The bible – – The god’s acts and miracles and – – the god frame of reference Whilst we cannot prove whether the first point […]
Religion
The Body of God*
On the question of the body of God, the Christian position would seem to be paradoxical. It maintains the idea of the incarnation of God in the body of a human being. At the same time, in the writings of the Church Fathers, God is conceived as an invisible and fundamentally nonmaterial being.[1] See the representative […]

If you are among the approximately 32 percent of the world population that considers themselves Christian, you were probably raised to believe that the Bible was written in some sort of historical vacuum—the various authors being inspired by God alone and having no outside influences whatsoever.

The Cure-For-Christianity Library*
See the full list of 200+ titles INTRODUCTION “What do you think about the upheaval in Jesus studies?” THIS IS THE QUESTION I WOULD so much like to pose to my Christian friends—to be met, I am sure, in most instances–with blank stares. “What upheaval?” Because they are not paying attention. In fact, the Jesus question has been […]
Religious Belief and Violence in the Middle East – Jim Walker

In every war and every violent conflict in the Middle East, resides a prime reason as to why these brutal conflicts occur. The media mainly reports about issues of politics, land, honor, and terrorism, and although these constitute surface […]
Sweet Phony Moses – Stephen Van Eck*
