I remember a time when to mention God or religion in the company of advanced intellectuals was like mentioning sex in a prudish Victorian drawing room. An icy silence would descend, and the silence communicated more than overt argument possibly could: we do not now talk of these things. I have an acute memory of this—for it is within my living memory. And now? There are those I remember who danced in Dionysian sandals but who now wear the penitential rags of ethics. I know dancers who have become sandwich-board ad men for capitalist greed—handsomely waged for their conversion to what the times require.

#135 - Johann Christoph Arnold - Sex, God and Marriage


Author or Editor: Johann Christoph Arnold

In Sex, God, and Marriage we find a message needed today in every part of the world. To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and of loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something beautiful for God. Purity is the fruit of prayer. If families pray together they will remain in unity and purity, and love each other as God loves each one of them. A pure heart is the carrier of God’s love, and where there is love, there is unity, joy, and peace.

#101 - Kenneth Copeland - The Laws of Prosperity

God first began dealing with me about the laws that govern prosperity in 1967. I was conducting a series of meetings in a very small church in a very small town in the Texas panhandle. For years I had entertained the idea that success was not an accident, that luck has nothing to do with it. I had read books of different kinds on this idea but had not found any answers that satisfied me. It didn’t occur to me that the Bible was written by the most successful individual alive—God!

#16 - Victor J. Stenger - God

No consensus exists among philosophers of science on what distinguishes science from pseudoscience or nonscience, although most scientists would say they know pseudoscience when they see it. In this book, I will take science to refer to the performing of objective observations by eye and by instrument and the building of models to describe those observations.

#5 - Herbert W.Armstrong - Mystery of the Ages


Author or Editor: Herbert W.Armstrong

Publisher: Philadelphia Church of God
Published: 2007
Pages: 300

Did you ever ask yourself: “Who am I? What am I? Why am I?” The world about you is a mystery. You yourself are a mystery. You have never seen your brain, the seat of your intellect and all that you are.
Your life is engulfed in mysteries. On reflection, your very existence is a mystery. Did you simply happen by unintelligent resident earthly forces without meaning or purpose, or were you intelligently designed and created by an all-powerful God of supreme mind for a purpose that also has been hidden in mystery? In fact, the persistent tradition throughout human history about the Creator God has been such a mystery that higher education in the Western world has sought to erase the mystery by giving its virtually unanimous acceptance to the theory of evolution.
