Religious Book Review - A Look at Atheism
Many folks have chosen a different sort of life style, one without religion, even living a life with a statement or personal mission statement that there is no god.
Still, atheism is very misunderstood and it is rather difficult to define as it means different things to different folks.
Many religious folks see it as a devil type worship, however atheists do not believe in a devil or a god.
Then another word is often confused with atheism, and that is agnosticism.
Have you ever wondered exactly what atheism is? If you are a religious person, then it makes sense to understand what it is and what it isn't so that you do not inadvertently look foolish to label someone evil, who simply does not believe in a god and has no faith in such.
If this interests you, then let me recommend a very good non-judgmental book to you.
The name of the book is: "What is Atheism? A Short Introduction" by Douglas E.
Kruger; Prometheus Books Publishing Company Incorporated.
Amherst, NY.
1998.
ISBN: 1-57392-214-5.
One of the best parts of this book is chapter two, which answers the question of moral foundation namely; "How can atheists have morals?" If you have ever wondered this question, the answer is here.
Chapter Three answers the question; "How can Atheists Have Purpose to Their Lives?" This is an excellent point and you'd be very wise to know the answer.
There are sections on the bible, existence of a god or gods, and some of the age old philosophical questions on the subject.
The final question might be very interesting to some and bothersome to those of faith, but if your convicts are strong enough you can read that too; "What's Wrong with Believing on Faith?" Well, I wish you all the best in your hunt for knowledge and hope this book brings meaning and understanding to your life.
