By Michael Sherlock
The Gospel of Atheism and Freethought—According to Sherlock turns blasphemy into an paintings form.
None of the foremost religions are secure from Sherlock's unrelenting and opposed wit.
In this three-part parody-titled atheist gospel, Sherlock indicates that the mythical "prophet" of the Islamic religion was once a paedophile, that Christianity used to be equipped on a textbook rip-off, that Jesus isn't the explanation for the season and that there's no cause of Jesus at all.
If this e-book does not lead to a fatwa or Pat Robertson shedding useless from an important coronary episode, it is going to at the least give you the atheist reader with nutrients for either suggestion and laughter.

Rendering the Word in Theological Hermeneutics
This booklet proposes an unique typology for greedy the diversities among various sorts of biblical interpretation, shaped in a triangle round a big theological and philosophical lacuna: the relation among divine and human motion. regardless of their purported challenge for studying God's note, most recent and postmodern techniques to biblical interpretation don't heavily think about the function of divine supplier as having a true effect in and at the strategy of interpreting Scripture.

Scrolls of affection is a e-book of unions. Edited by means of a Jew and a Christian who're united through a shared ardour for the Bible and a standard literary hermeneutic, it joins biblical scrolls and gathers round them a various neighborhood of interpreters. It brings jointly Ruth and the music of Songs, doubtless disparate texts of the Hebrew Bible, and reads them via many of the methodological and theological views.

Sample text
I choose to be free, at least psychologically, anyway. Christ Causes Skin Cancer. I am the light of the world and the Sun of Righteousness. I send rain down upon the just and the unjust alike. My father is the great and mighty sun of the previous cycle, and only through me can one get to him, who, having grown old and tired, impregnated my mother, the ever-virgin, Virgo, who gave birth to me in humble and dire circumstances. I am the new born king, as yet frail and subject to the dangers of that great tyrant (Herod/Set/winter).
So none of your holiest books were written by whom they claim to have been written and were composed an entire generation after the events they allegedly descibe; they contain forgeries, contradictions, errors and assert revelation with regards to philosophies and teachings that were already in existence for centuries, along with the myths that impart those so-called revelations. Oh yes, and they are full of magic and supernatural nonsense. And you wonder why I think your religion is ludicrous.
Creationism, or Intelligent Design, as it has been shrewdly rebranded, is not an alternative to evolution, it is a sideshow. God is a word you use when you cannot find the word you are looking for. Arguing with a theist is like playing tennis with someone who refuses to believe that the ball has dropped on their side of the net. If you want to keep playing, you have to walk over to their side, pick the ball up, show it to them, even though they are now gazing up at passing birds, take it back to your side and serve again.
