About this ebook
Includes Philosophy, Reason & Intelligence/ Herding Cats: The History & Nature of Atheism / Atheism is Myth-Understood/ Atheist, Unaware / Benefits of Atheism/ Atheists, Skeptics & Infidels, Oh My/ What are Atheists like?/ Morality Vs. Ethics / Immortal Christians, Immoral Atheists / Morality of the Godless / Infidels Worldwide/ Giving Infidels.
While I struggle with unanswered questions—things I cannot understand—I have an even bigger problem placing faith in those things. It is far too convenient to use the ad hoc explanations that Christianity offers; I believe in what is proven, or what there is the most empirical proof for; not what "sounds nice" or appeals to my needs, wishes, desires, or fancy.
Without the ability to think rationally, the human being tends toward the mystical and magical to explain the wonders of our world. This is an effective way to avoid responsibility for self, and undermines the progression of evolution in our species. To cloak your reason with the raiment of religion, insures that you will not consider the very real and proven truths that exist since Science began to answer so many of these niggling questions for us.

Summary:
Directed at agnostics and those struggling with the inconsistencies in Christianity in particular, and religion in general, an author struggles to find her own Personal Cosmology by examining and sharing her beliefs and discoveries about God, the Bible and Christianity. Includes Philosophy, Reason & Intelligence/Herding Cats: The History & Nature of Atheism/Atheism is Myth-Understood/Atheist, Unaware/Benefits of Atheism/Atheists, Skeptics & Infidels, Oh My/What are Atheists like?/Morality Vs. Ethics/Immortal Christians, Immoral Atheists /Morality of the Godless/ Infidels Worldwide/Giving Infidels.
While I struggle with unanswered questions—things I cannot understand—I have an even bigger problem placing faith in those things. It is far too convenient to use the ad hoc explanations that Christianity offers; I believe in what is proven, or what there is the most empirical proof for; not what sounds nice
or appeals to my needs, wishes, desires, or fancy.
Without the ability to think rationally, the human being tends toward the mystical and magical to explain the wonders of our world. This is an effective way to avoid responsibility for self, and undermines the progression of evolution in our species. To cloak your reason with the raiment of religion, insures that you will not consider the very real and proven truths that exist since Science began to answer so many of these niggling questions for us.

Philosophy, Reason & Intelligence
Man's mind is his tool for survival, but like all tools, it must be properly used. The mind manipulates knowledge, and knowledge can only be obtained through reason. Without reason, there is no knowledge, and thus no survival.
~ Jeff Landauer and Joseph Rowlands
