The Heathen's Guide to World Religions is a humorous but accurate history of the murder, lust, greed, and sheer stupidity that have made the world's religions what they are today. "Hopper represents the most lethal of organized religions many opponents: a curious, well-educated individual with a sharp wit." Queen's University Journal Review "Wickedly fun and informative." Toronto Star "The Heathen's Guide To World Religions has taken up permanent residence on my bookshelves... a masterfully written, wonderfully funny, and deliciously snarky trip down religious lane." Al Stefanelli, UNITED ATHEIST FRONT. "Like Monty Python in religious garb... easily one of the best places to invest your book buying dollar." Georgia Straight
The purpose of this book is to teach you how to receive Healing and
Deliverance from God. The simple keys in this book will work for
anyone that will take the time to apply them. I had scriptures and
healing materials from three different sources and didn't
understand how to apply the materials. I was sick and continued to
get worst with the keys from God's word at my fingertips. I didn't
understand God's word. I didn't understand how to apply God's word.
I didn't understand God's system of operation. A simple six-minute
thumb surgery caused me to have a stroke, damaging the entire right
side of my body. I received damage to my entire nervous system. I
started having uncontrollable full body muscle spasms. I started
having problems with my heart, breathing and blood pressure. My
mouth would draw up to the right side of my face and there were
constant trembles of my arms and legs. I had problems sleeping and
my body temperatures increased to 100 degrees or more. I was
sensitive to touch, cool temperatures and light. I could not
control my own body movements at times and I had problems walking
and talking. Touching my skull, neck, back and checking my reflexes
would cause me to go into uncontrollable full body muscle spasms. I
was told that I had a muscle build-up where there should not be any
muscle and because of this muscle build-up and the massive strength
that I had developed; I could break a bone in my neck. A doctor
told me: due to the amount of time that I suffered and the
complexity of the problems I had, that they would be with me for
the rest of my life. The problems could not be fixed, repaired and
there was no cure. I was seen by at least thirty or more doctors
without any help. I felt sure I was going to die from all of the
problems in my body. I could see myself dead lying in a casket. I
decided that I was going to murder three of the doctors. God led me
to a church where I received understanding of God's word. I learned
God's system of operation. I also learned how to apply God's word
to my life for the healing and deliverance that I needed. As a
result of understanding and applying God's word to my life, in a
three-month process I was delivered from the spirit of murder and
healed from all of the damage to my entire body. I suffered for
three years and two months because of the lack of understanding of
God's word. I am still delivered, healed and have been teaching
God's word for healing and deliverance for eleven years now.
Apologetics is a needed study in told world of false teaching. Join pastor tc in the journey of truth in this relative world.
The Book of Jubilees, or, as it is sometimes called, "the little Genesis," purports to be a revelation given by God to Moses through the medium of an angel, and containing a history, divided up into jubilee-periods of forty-nine years, from the creation to the coming of Moses. Though the actual narrative of events is only carried down to the birth and early career of Moses, its author envisages the events of a later time, and in particular certain events of special interest at the time when he wrote, which was probably in the latter years of the second century B.C., perhaps in the reign of the Maccabean prince John Hyrcanus. Though distinguished from the Pentateuch proper, it presupposes and supplements the latter. The actual narrative embraces material contained in the whole of Genesis and part of Exodus. But the legal regulations given presuppose other parts of the Pentateuch, especially the so-called "Priest's Code," and certain details in the narrative are probably intended to apply to events that occurred in the author's own time, the latter years of the second century B.C. The author himself seems to have contemplated the speedy inauguration of the Messianic Age, and in this respect his point of view is similar to that of the Apocalyptic writers. But his work, though it contains one or two passages of an apocalyptic character, is quite unlike the typical apocalypses. It is largely narrative based upon the historical narratives in Genesis and Exodus, interspersed with legends, and emphasizing certain legal practices. But his main object was to inculcate a reform in the regulation of the calendar and festivals, in place of the intercalated lunar calendar, which he condemns in the strongest language. He proposes to substitute for this a solar calendar consisting of 12 months and containing 364 days. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order.

Maybe you were born to Christian parents and raised as a Christian. Or maybe you are just a part of a Christian nation. You might have attended church regularly, or maybe just on special occasions. If asked, you say that you believe in God, but you really never thought about what that means exactly. You are a well-educated person who accepts the idea of Biblical miracles, but only the more "reasonable" ones. You have read some of the Bible, mostly just parts of the New Testament, but never committed to reading the Bible cover to cover. You are a good person who admires the many "Christian values" as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. But something does not feel right. * Science tells us that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, but the Bible tells us it's 6,000 years old. * Science tells us life is the result of emergent properties in combined molecules, and we have evolved from a very primitive life form, but the Bible says that God made us, as is, from dust, and blew life in our noses. * You see a world where little bunnies burn to death in forest fires, and wonder why an all-good and loving God would allow such a thing to happen. * You pray to God and you realize that sometimes your prayers are answered, and sometimes they aren't just as if you didn't pray at all. * You hear about other religions and wonder why your religion is right and every other religion on the planet is wrong. * You have a real problem with the idea of all your non-Jesus-believing friends and family spending eternity in Hell.? In fact, the more you look around, the more you see a world absent of this perfect image of a perfect God. As much as you want to avoid critical thinking and "just let go and have faith," you find that you cannot believe in something contrary to your logic and reason no matter how much you want to. This might lead to feelings of guilt, insincerity, and/or hypocrisy. Yet you just can't imagine living life without God, and you don't have to. When you start asking serious questions about God and religion, you begin to see through the stories of people living inside the stomachs of big fish, 900-year-old men, and bodies coming back to life after three days, and understand how man created God, and not the other way around. By daring to question "sacred" religion, challenging your childhood beliefs, and risking eternal damnation (okay, so there might be a minor side effect to reading this book), you will discover an appreciation for religion on a new level, as well as a renewed appreciation for the human race. Through a unique blend of science, philosophy, theology, and a touch of humor, you will see how you can trust your logic and reason, be true to yourself, and embrace God -- not as a being, but as a concept -- The Concept.

No matter what you think or believe in life, the mythology of Christianity revolutionized the entire world. Now, from the Author of "Empirical Truth" and the "Power of Light Vibrations" comes a new work called "Jesus Christ: Revolutionary Mythology." As a proud Pantheistic-Atheist, Christians are always telling me that because I am an Atheist I do not believe in anything, this is growing old. I inform them that because I am a freethinker that I believe in more things than they. In responding to their way of thinking it is they who do not believe in anything. There is no god, and the belief in Jesus Christ is the myth of celestial bodies and the legend of a man who may or may not have existed. It is a shame that the world has been placed into mayhem by the mythological sayings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, a megalomaniac who fooled so many into believing that he was following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Was there a connection between Jesus' Birthday and 9/11? This book is about finding out the truth. Who was Jesus Christ? Many Christian's faith may be dismayed by the answers.
You may want to reverse what you think about dying. See what some normal people experienced in their final days.Some of their experiences were extraordinary and even unexplainable. Life begins with an orgasm. I bet our Creator will even top this at our journey's end. You don't believe there is a Creator? That's okay, no judgement here.We all have a lot of clutter we must come to grips with as we live our lives. Could our departing be our purpose in life?

Gospel in the Rosary: Bible Study on the Mysteries of Christ focuses on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries that relate closely to the life of Jesus and that are clearly presented in the Bible. In keeping with the affirmation of John Paul II "that everything in the life of Jesus is a sign of his Mystery" and that there is a need to supply the biblical foundations on which the mysteries are based, additional Bible studies have been included under the Glorious Mysteries. These studies focus on two dialogues that Jesus had (Nicodemus, The Samaritan Woman) and two parables that he taught (The Prodigal Son, the Rich Man and Lazarus). Through these Bible lessons we can come to a clearer understanding of the love of God and of the mission of Jesus to draw us near to our Heavenly Father, and to prepare us for our life with him in heaven.

Every culture has its gods. According to Ingersoll, every culture has failed to develop properly in moral and spiritual ways, mainly because the gods of man were made by man. They originally appeared within our flawed minds, and therefore resemble their flawed creators. The Gods cannot "rescue" us when they, like us, are in a constant battle for recognition and supremacy, either among themselves or with the gods of other religions. This book will make you think about the nature of deity and will challenge your critical thinking skills. The author continually brings to our attention the nagging feeling that something is not right, especially as it relates to what we have been traditionally taught. Many of his arguments are strong and compelling, while others may be challenged and debated through deeper examination. Whatever the case, this is an insightful book that is well worth exploring.
Put two contrarians together and shake well. -Christianity Today The gloves come off in this electric exchange, originally hosted by Christianity Today, as leading atheist Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great) and Christian apologist Douglas Wilson (author of Letter from a Christian Citizen) go head-to-head on this divisive question. The result is entertaining and provocative-a glimpse into the ongoing debate.
From the Author of the "Power of Light Vibrations" and "Empirical Truth, Pantheistic-Atheism" comes "Bible Propaganda: The War in Heaven from Satan's Eyes." You will learn how the Bible is a book of misinformation, and that God is a rapacious and avarice slave master, the "Bully of the Bible." This book was compiled from Bible Scripture, and the philosophy of "Empirical Truth" including an intriguing original, abstract fictional scenerio of the "War in Heaven" as told in part from Lucifer's point of view with a twist on how it was Satan, and not God who gave humankind freewill. And so God became enraged with insane jealousy punishing all who did not bow down to Him. This is what begot the "War in Heaven," with Satan and His Angels fighting a losing battle in defending our right to have freedom. I do not believe in Devils or Angels, this is another account of what I have coined "Bible-Babble-Bull."
