  City of Gods: Hellenica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min

  The gods are back, and they are tearing this world apart. Zeus, Dagon, Loki, Lugh and countless other deities have come back to this Earth and rule over their individual districts with no goal other than satiating their own petty desires. The sole remaining functional province, Hellenica, decides to act. The deities build the Academy and are about to recruit 16 young gods with the hopes of training them to police this world. The Horsemen. Of these 16 young gods, four have strange powers that the Academy might not be able to control. Kayana Marx, Gunnar Redstone, Tommy Alderon and Saoirse Frost aren’t like normal gods, and their abilities stem from the Monotheistic times. But if Hellenica has any hope of holding this world together, the deities will have to teach these four to exercise their powers to their fullest extent, even if it might bring everything to an apocalyptic end. ungekürzt.

  The Last Nephilim , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min

  Is it possible that the mythical gods of polytheistic Greece, Egypt, Assyria, etc. were actual people that lived shortly after the flood of Noah? The Last Nephilim is a work of historical fiction based upon the first chapters of the book of Genesis and several ancient apocryphal texts. The Bible presents the sons of Noah as monotheistic followers of the God of the universe. So how did their grandchildren end up reigning over polytheistic empires? What happened? This story presents the Nephilim of Genesis chapter six as gifted giants that essentially promoted worship of themselves as deities to post-flood human populations. The Bible asserts that monotheism was before polytheism, but there is no clear explanation as to why polytheism became so prevalent such a short time after the flood. This audiobook describes one possible explanation as to what may have occurred to have resulted in the explosion of polytheism. Written in a beautiful, scholarly fashion. This is refined, provocative look at events in history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Williamson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/011832/bk_acx0_011832_sample.mp3.

  Thus Spoke Zarathustra (eBook, ePUB)

  Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", written in the years 1883 to 1885, is a pretty unusual book in the history of Western philosophy. It is not really a novel, it is not really poetry, nor is it a traditional philosophical treatise. "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical parable that follows the wanderings of a character called Zarathustra, a Nietzschean prophet. The piece is filled with irony and no more so than in the naming of its hero, Zarathustra. The historical Zarathustra is believed to be the founder of the ancient monotheistic tradition Zoroastrianism, which articulates a Manichean, 'good vs. evil' view of the world. Traditional Zoroastrianism sees good and evil as fundamental aspects of reality, beyond interpretation or human discourse. Nietzsche's perspective, and that of his protagonist Zarathustra, is the opposite of Zoroastrianism; this is meant as a kind of ironic joke. Nietzsche's underlying argument is that all human values are created by humans, rather than gods, or nature, or some underlying fundamental reality.

  Mary Magick: Calling Forth the Divine Mother for Help: Magick of the Saints, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min

  In every ancient tradition, you will find common threads. Many of the characters are the same in nature and same from story to story. As Carl Jung stated, we all share a common consciousness and thus our divine experiences will be very much the same, despite them being clothed in different garb. When the divine sends messengers to Earth, it brings them down in ways that we can all understand. The divine sent Isis to Egypt, Ishtar to the Babylonians, Diana to the Romans, Aphrodite to the Greeks, and Mary to the monotheistic religions of the west. This is on purpose, to create a continuity in message and aesthetic. Mary is in fact the archetypical emanation of the divine feminine; she is holy, just, and has worked miracles for millions of people. Some call upon her magically and others via prayer. What is prayer if not a form of magick? She is one of the most powerful spiritual forces in the spiritual realms. In this book we will discuss how to perform Mary Magick and tap into her awesome glory and power. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Resheph.

  Oh, Your God!: The Evil Idea That Is Religion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min

  This book is not just for atheists, but for antitheists - for people who celebrated the writing of Christopher Hitchens and miss his voice. Making the provocative assertion that the entire enterprise of organized religion is a thing for which the world and our species would have been better without, Oh, Your God! follows in the footsteps of the material observations of Lucretius, Epicurus, and Democritus, and the more recent anti-theistic arguments of Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Drawing from timeless philosophers, modern debates, historical events, and current social climes, Joshua Kelly illustrates the shameful and debilitating damage religion has caused - and continues to cause - whether to our psyches, our bodies, our societies, or our world. Citing the murders of Nigeria's "witch children", the subversion of sexual emancipation, the tethers of slavery, the attacks of September 11, the pseudo morality of monotheistic mythology, the subjugation of women, and much more, he provides an abundance of damning evidence to back up his claims. Only by acknowledging and grappling with the real and potential dangers of religion, he argues, will we be able to thrive and develop as a species. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Aphorismen von Ragnar Redbeard

  Wie schon in Might is Right behandelt Ragnar Redbeard in seinen Aphorismen die Bereiche der Gesellschaft, von denen die Menschen seit jeher kontrolliert, geführt und unterdrückt werden: Religion, Politik und Finanzsystem. Seine Aussagen, seine Kritik und seine Warnungen sind heute ebenso aktuell und gültig wie Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Noch immer beeinflussen und steuern die großen monotheistischen Religionen (entweder direkt oder indirekt durch Kontrolle von Medien oder Wissenschaft), deren politische Vertreter und die Drahtzieher der Hochfinanz die Geschicke der Menschen und der Welt. Wer Augen hat zu sehen... As he did before in Might is Right, Ragnar Redbeard addresses in his Sayings those aspects of society, which have controlled, lead and suppressed the people for ages: religion, politics and the monetary system. His statements, his criticism and his warnings are equally true today like they were in the end of the 19th century. The major monotheistic religions (either directly or indirectly through the media or science), their political agents and the masterminds of high finance still influence and control the fate of the people and the world. Whoever has eyes to see...

  Religion (eBook, ePUB)

  With this profound final work, completed in the days leading up to his death, Michel Serres presents a vivid picture of his thinking about religion-a constant preoccupation since childhood-thereby completing Le Grand Récit, the comprehensive explanation of the world and of humanity to which he devoted the last twenty years of his life. Themes from Serres's earlier writings-energy and information, the role of the media in modern society, the anthropological function of sacrifice, the role of scientific knowledge, the problem of evil-are reinterpreted here in the light of the Old Testament accounts of Isaac and Jonah and a variety of Gospel episodes, including the Three Wise Men of the Epiphany, the Transfiguration, Peter's denying Christ, the Crucifixion, Emmaus, and the Pentecost. Monotheistic religion, Serres argues, resembles mathematical abstraction in its dazzling power to bring together the real and the virtual, the natural and the transcendent; but only in its Christian embodiment is it capable of binding together human beings in such a way that partisan attachments are dissolved and a new era of history, free for once of the lethal repetition of collective violence, can be entered into.

  Papyrus: A Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 740min

  Rika Teferi, a young woman who formerly led midnight raids in Eritrea's war for independence from Ethiopia, is working on her doctorate in the Cairo museum when catastrophe strikes. An accidental tea spill damages the royal papyrus she has been struggling to interpret, the papyrus purported to be Queen Tiye's last message to her son, Tutankhamun. But the spill also exposes hidden writing below the surface hieroglyphs. Horrified at the damage but aching to read the entire secret text, Rika agrees to let visiting remote-sensing expert David Chamberlain smuggle the priceless document out of the museum and scan it with instruments on his aircraft. The results are stunning. They show Tiye, previously a footnote in history, to have been the power behind the thrones of her husband and sons, as well as the architect of a monotheistic religion unique in ancient Egypt. Riveted by these revelations, Rika and David devise a covert plan to locate Tiye's tomb. But Major Hassam of the Egyptian Secret Police misreads their activities as a plot to overthrow the government and vows to stop them at all costs. Reared in revolution, Rika feels a spiritual bond with Tiye, an African commoner who revolutionized Egyptian society by introducing a religion that freed Egypt from the tyranny of the Amun priests. Rika's quest to find Tiye's tomb parallels the queen's last journey up the Nile, 3000 years before, to be buried alive in a tomb like no other. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Philosophy of Religion, Hörbuch, Digital, 1097min

  These 36 intellectually challenging yet remarkably clear lectures take you on an intellectual journey to explore the questions of divine existence, not from the standpoint of theology, but as an issue of epistemology, the classic branch of philosophy that concerns itself with knowledge theory: how we can know things and how we can know we know them. If you enjoy wrapping your mind around questions for which every potential answer triggers a new set of questions and issues, you will find this course particularly enjoyable, regardless of whether you define yourself as a believer, an atheist, or an agnostic. Professor Hall lays out many of the fundamental questions and issues related to the philosophy of religion: What do we mean by "God"? Consider the many characteristics of a monotheistic deity - including omnipotence, omniscience, omniperfection, and asceity. Can we know if there is a God? Examine the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments for the existence of God and the problem of evil. Weigh the arguments and counterarguments for whether the existence of evil - sometimes natural and sometimes human - is compatible with the existence of a god. You won't be surprised to discover that the issue of divine existence remains undecided after the arguments for and against have been put on the table and analyzed. This provocative course will hold the attention of believers, skeptics, and agnostics alike. While your mind may not be changed, it will definitely be put to work. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: James Hall.

  Big Gods: How Religion Transformed Cooperation and Conflict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min

  How did human societies scale up from small, tight-knit groups of hunter-gatherers to the large, anonymous, cooperative societies of today - even though anonymity is the enemy of cooperation? How did organized religions with "Big Gods" - the great monotheistic and polytheistic faiths - spread to colonize most minds in the world? In Big Gods, Ara Norenzayan makes the surprising and provocative argument that these fundamental puzzles about the origins of civilization are one and the same, and answer each other. Once human minds could conceive of supernatural beings, Norenzayan argues, the stage was set for rapid cultural and historical changes that eventually led to large societies with Big Gods - powerful, omniscient, interventionist deities concerned with regulating the moral behavior of humans. How? As the saying goes, "watched people are nice people." It follows that people play nice when they think Big Gods are watching them, even when no one else is. Yet at the same time that sincere faith in Big Gods unleashed unprecedented cooperation within ever-expanding groups, it also introduced a new source of potential conflict between competing groups. In some parts of the world, such as northern Europe, secular institutions have precipitated religion's decline by usurping its community-building functions. These societies with atheist majorities--some of the most cooperative, peaceful, and prosperous in the world - climbed religion's ladder, and then kicked it away. So while Big Gods answers fundamental questions about the origins and spread of world religions, it also helps us understand another, more recent social transition--the rise of cooperative societies without belief in gods. ungekürzt.
