Written by a natural scientist, this book is an essay on universal
consciousness, which the author explores using a comparative
approach borrowed from the neurosciences and Physics. A super
sentient being, God is relative to a level of organization and is
necessarily hidden for sentient beings of lower levels. Other books

This book is a joke. It's not a joke about Jesus and nothing
derogatory is printed about him. In fact the front and back covers
are very complimentary toward Jesus. The front cover says Remember
Jesus Loves you and when you open the book the first page jumps out
at you. It says in big, bold type "Everyone else thinks you're a
cunt." The rest of the pages are intentionally left blank. You can
order this book from Amazon and have it delivered to the person the
joke is aimed at. It's real fun watching someone unwrap and open
this book when you hand it to them as a gift. It's guaranteed to
shock and make people laugh.
Across the world, sacred sites are linked together by mysterious
alignments on the landscape. In the British Isles these links have
come to be known as Ley Lines. First discovered in ancient times by
the legendary Alfred Watkins, who first coined the term, they have
been rigorously studied over the last fifty years. This revised and
updated edition of the book by Danny Sullivan is the classic,
comprehensive guide to the subject.

What is Atheism? Atheism is the rejection of religion outright. It
posits that there are no deities, and that the existence of all
things can be explained rationally and without the presence of a
higher power. This independently written book aims to examine the
history of atheism and its philosophical development throughout the
years, its rise in popularity throughout the 20th and 21st
centuries, its central tenets of belief, the reason behind a person
becoming and atheist, as well as atheism's future. It also contains
survey data, provides popular quotes about atheism, lists a large
variety of famous atheists, and depicts today's commonly used
atheist symbols. Contents: What is Atheism? The History and
Development of Atheism Atheism Today & Tomorrow Atheism Vs.
Agnosticism What is Behind the Selection of Atheism as a Religion?
Types of Atheism Reasons for Atheism The Current State of Atheism
Atheist Symbols, Quotes and Famous People
Continuing a theme begun in This and That, J.T. McDaniel now
presents a collection of 19 essays, ranging from the titular More
on Theistic Atheism, to Odd Animals and Space Aliens. In the first,
the author further develops the idea of an atheism that includes a
deity (if admittedly an imaginary one). While the idea that, "It's
okay to believe in god, as long as you realize it's imaginary"
essentially defines theistic atheism, most of the other essays
simply dispense with the idea of any reality beyond the physical.
Along with appeals to logic and critical thinking, essays cover
such topics as gay marriage, abortion, climate change, the
relationship between government and religion, and between religion
and science. On the lighter side, McDaniel examines some reasons
why the world is unlikely to end in 2012, the music he wants played
at his funeral (Queen, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Boito, but definitely
not Amazing Grace), and the possibility of actual immortality in a
virtual world. There is a suggestion that a new political party
might be in order. Climate change is viewed through a practical
lens, which suggests that far more could be accomplished through
the use of tax incentives than the usual government instinct of
using any crisis as an excuse to wring more funds out of the
taxpayers. The use of existing infrastructure to produce cheap
hydrogen is also studied. The collection concludes with a look at
cryptozoology, which the author finds valid mostly in the realm of
insects and fish, but not bigfoot or mokele-mbembe. He then argues
that space aliens are probably real, but that it's unlikely they
have visited here, or that any extraterrestrial civilization would
even know we were here.
