To Pray Is Not the Way - How to Be an Atheist: Religion - the Most Dangerous Addiction (Intelligent Atheism) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
Inside, you'll discover three controversial discussions:Part one: "Religion Is a Dangerous Addiction"Regardless of whatever prejudgments you may have, I commend you for opening this educated rant at all. I’m especially impressed if you are of the religious persuasion and therefore want to make one point irrevocably clear before I get into the meat of the message. There is a significant difference between religion and faith. Religion and faith may coexist, but they are not linked to one another as strongly as some people tend to think. Yes, you need faith if you’re going to practice religion, but you don’t need religion to have faith. It’s easy to blur the lines between the two, but you don’t have to have religion to believe in something unproven. Part two: "Is Religion a Genetic Flaw?"Religion versus science. It’s one of the most heated arguments of the last few centuries. Religion has felt the heat of scientific advancement since Galileo backed the idea of heliocentrism, the belief - now known to be fact - that the Earth revolves around the sun. Galileo would stand trial, be threatened with torture, and spend the rest of his days under house arrest for his belief. It’s just one example of many that show just how arrogant religion can be in promoting ignorance. Part three: "Coming Out of the Atheist Closet"We live in an odd time where the word tolerance is much misunderstood and selfishly used. In the US at least, we’re continually being told to have an understanding of other people’s life decisions, yet lawsuits to the contrary continue to crop up on a daily basis. One of the best examples of this double standard has to do with the ever-pressing issue of homosexuality. We’re supposed to be tolerant of homosexuals but not allow them to marry one another? How does refusing one’s rights equate to tolerance? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Zentner. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/138851/bk_acx0_138851_sample.mp3.

The World in Flames: A Black Boyhood in a White Supremacist Doomsday Cult , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 339min
A memoir of growing up with blind African American parents in a segregated cult preaching the imminent end of the world When The World in Flames begins in 1970, Jerry Walker is six years old. His consciousness revolves around being a member of a church whose beliefs he finds not only confusing but terrifying. Composed of a hodgepodge of requirements and restrictions (including a prohibition against doctors and hospitals), the underpinning tenet of Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God is that its members are divinely chosen, and all others will soon perish in rivers of flames. The substantial membership is ruled by fear, intimidation, and threats. Anyone who dares leave the church will endure hardship for the remainder of this life and eternal suffering in the next. The next life, according to Armstrong, will arrive in 1975, three years after the start of the "Great Tribulation". Jerry will be 11 years old. Jerry's parents were particularly vulnerable to the promise of relief from the world's hardships. When they joined the church in 1960, they were living in a two-room apartment in a dangerous Chicago housing project with the first four of their seven children. Most significantly, they both were blind, having lost their sight to childhood accidents. They took comfort in the belief that they had been chosen for a special afterlife, even if it meant following a religion with a white supremacist ideology. They dutifully sent tithes to Armstrong, whose church boasted more than 100,000 members and more than $80 million in annual revenues at its height. When the prophecy of the 1972 Great Tribulation does not materialize, Jerry is considerably less disappointed than relieved. When the 1975 end-time prophecy also fails, he finally begins to question his faith and imagines the possibility of choosing a destiny of his own. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C. S.

The Magic Cup: A Business Parable About a Leader, a Team, and the Power of Putting People and Values First , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min
We all love the fairy tales we grew up on, creating a world in which good always wins over evil, where those whose hearts are true and who do the right thing come out on top. But grown-up competition for success is rough, even cutthroat, and we've often heard that nice guys finish last. Not according to Howard Behar, whose career as one of the three leaders who built the Starbucks organization most definitely proves that nice guys finish first. In The Magic Cup, Behar spins an engaging corporate tale to teach us exactly how we can do the same thing. The story revolves around Vince Steadfast, the newly named CEO of imaginary manufacturer Verity Glassworks, which has fallen on difficult times. Vince is hired to help the once iconic company return to its glory days, and he brings with him a parting gift from his mentor and former boss: a stunning crystal coffee cup from Verity's halcyon days. The cup turns out to be magic - truly - and helps him come to understand and reinvigorate the values that Verity has misplaced along the way. As Vince and his new team make their way to (and through) many challenges, including the aptly named Worthy Way, Perilous Passage, and Arduous Stair, the cup fills with a gold elixir, and the universal truths that they learn to embrace - such as responsibility, forgiveness, and courage - magically become engraved in the glass. In the tradition of great parable writers throughout history, Behar quickly involves us in an engrossing fantasy, continually challenging us to compare each situation with our own real-life experiences. The story of The Magic Cup helps each of us discover that only by acting on sound moral principles can we fill our own cups with the personal and professional success and satisfaction we seek. ungekürzt.

Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide to Alcohol Addiction Treatment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
Do you want to stop drinking? Are you sick and tired of what drinking is doing to you or to your love one? Have you tried to quit drinking but never managed? If you're looking for a permanent solution to quit alcohol addiction, then this book is for you. Alcohol is what we share in good times and is sometimes what we turn to in bad. You had a hard day, have a drink. Your spouse left you, have a drink. You're depressed, order a double. But there is a fine line between social drinking, alcohol abuse, and alcoholism. When alcohol IS the reason you are depressed and IS the reason your spouse left you, you may have crossed over the line; maybe you have even crossed over both lines and have become a full-fledged alcoholic. Alcoholism is the addiction to alcohol. It is what happens when you not only abuse alcohol, but you are physically and mentally dependent on it as well. Your life revolves around drinking. Little by little, all else is tossed by the wayside. Your family, your job, your health, and all else that used to be so important to you become less important. In fact, oftentimes they seem to just get in the way. Your spouse is harping about your frequent drinking. Your kids roll their eyes when you pop another top of beer. Your employer has called you into his office more than once saying your drinking has to stop. They just don't understand. Once again, you turn to the comfort of an old friend...alcohol. Alcohol is deceiving. Although you see the signs, it is difficult, if not impossible, to put it down. Your body cries out for it. You can barely make it through a day without a drink and when you try, you begin to crave it and your hands get shaky, your stomach turns. Does alcoholism have its grip on you? ungekürzt.
