“The Dark Side of Christian History” by Helen Ellerbe

"The Christian church has left a legacy, a world view, that permeates every aspect of Western society, both secular and religious. It is a legacy that fosters sexism, racism, the intolerance of difference, and the desecration of the natural environment. The Church, throughout much of its history, has demonstrated a disregard for human freedom, dignity, and self-determination. It has attempted to control, contain and confine spirituality, the relationship between an individual and God. As a result, Christianity has helped to create a society in which people are alienated not only from each other but also from the divine. This Christianity—called “orthodox Christianity”—has had a devastating impact upon the whole of mankind, and its study...>>

“Logos: Logical Religion Unleashed” by Steve Madison

"Wouldn’t you want a religion that every logician, mathematician, philosopher, and scientist on earth could embrace, a religion fully consistent with all the points made by Kurt Gödel when he listed the 14 key religious principles he accepted? That religion already exists. It’s called ontological mathematics, predicated on the principle of sufficient reason and Occam’s razor, and constitutes an a priori, rationalist, analytic, deductive religion, metaphysics and physics. Mathematics explains all. Nobel laureate Paul Dirac said, "God is a mathematician of a very high order and He used advanced mathematics in constructing the universe." In fact, God simply is mathematics! God is not a non-mathematical Being who sometimes does mathematics. God is a mathematical Being who...>>

“Understanding Beliefs” by Nils J. Nilsson

"What beliefs are, what they do for us, how we come to hold them, and how to evaluate them. Our beliefs constitute a large part of our knowledge of the world. We have beliefs about objects, about culture, about the past, and about the future. We have beliefs about other people, and we believe that they have beliefs as well. We use beliefs to predict, to explain, to create, to console, to entertain. Some of our beliefs we call theories, and we are extraordinarily creative at constructing them. Theories of quantum mechanics, evolution, and relativity are examples. But so are theories about astrology, alien abduction, guardian angels, and reincarnation. All are products (with varying degrees...>>

“The Book of Minds: How to Understand Ourselves and Other Beings, From Animals to Aliens” by Philip Ball

"Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world of experience has challenged scientists and philosophers for centuries. How do we even begin to think about ‘minds’ that are not human? That is the question explored in this ground-breaking book. Award-winning science writer Philip Ball argues that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured. Science has begun to have something to say about the properties of mind; the more we learn about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, to imagine the potential minds of computers...>>
