Download or read book Everybody Is Wrong About God written by James A. Lindsay and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A call to action to address people's psychological and social motives for a belief in God, rather than debate the existence of God With every argument for theism long since discredited, the result is that atheism has become little more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs. Thus, engaging in interminable debate with religious believers about the existence of God has become exactly the wrong way for nonbelievers to try to deal with misguided—and often dangerous—belief in a higher power. The key, author James Lindsay argues, is to stop that particular conversation. He demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in "God," they are really telling us that they have certain psychological and social needs that they do not know how to meet. Lindsay then provides more productive avenues of discussion and action. Once nonbelievers understand this simple point, and drop the very label of atheist, will they be able to change the way we all think about, talk about, and act upon the troublesome notion called "God."

Book excerpt: Does God really "need" anyone? Lynn Fox Adams answers that question with a resounding yes. As a sufferer of the often-misdiagnosed and misunderstood disease dysautonomia, Lynn has spent her life mostly bedridden and homebound. Yet this has not stopped her from sharing and spreading the message of Jesus Christ throughout the world. "God Needs Me: Living with Dysautonomia" is Lynn's personal story of hope, encouragement, and affirmation that yes, God truly can use "anyone" in his kingdom. Sufferers of dysautonomia or other chronic conditions, as well as friends and family members of those who suffer, will cherish this first-of-its-kind book and find hope, encouragement, and even solutions therein as they discover that a disease, no matter how debilitating, does not have to control one's spiritual existence.

Download or read book Who Needs God? written by Christoph Schoenborn and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are experiencing a dramatic social upheaval in today's world, a breakdown of our living conditions and values. A non-stop world: No one can stop it, and we find no place to stop in it. Political boundaries become less important; social structures seem to disintegrate—all is subordinated to cash flow and profit maximization. With growing individualism, the concept of the good and proper life has been lost. Whether one is faithful or unfaithful, fair or unfair, honest or dishonest seems to have less importance. Freedom and prosperity are the magic words. We live flexibly and without commitment, go where we wish, when we wish. This does not produce living conditions that facilitate belief in God and contact with God, as one perhaps had during childhood. The longing for old values such as faith and deeper spiritual meaning has consequently been reawakened. What repercussions does this development have on society, children, the elderly, the ill? Whom do people allow first to be God? Who is our pilot? Is it the coach, the psychologist, the investment counselor? Who is supposed to support man in the future through his crisis, whether public or private? Who needs God? What does God provide? Can we truly live without faith or the Church? Why does the Church so often seem not to understand us and our needs? These and many other questions posed to Christoph Cardinal Schönborn in this book are the questions asked today by many people who are searching for God and want to live the experience of faith. "When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing—they believe in anything." — G. K. Chesterton
