 Absurdities of the Bible【電子書籍】[ Clarence Darrow ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Why am I an agnostic? Because I don't believe some of the things that other people say they believe. Where do you get your religion, anyway? I won't bother to discuss just what religion is. but I think a fair definition of religion could take account of two things, at least, immortality and God, and that both of them are based on some book, so practically all of it is a book. As I have neither the time nor the learning to discuss every religious book on earth, and as I live in Chicago, I am interested in the Christian religion. So I will discuss the book that deals with the Christian religion. Is the Bible the work of anything but man? Of course, there is no such book as the Bible. The Bible to made up of 66 books, some of them written by various authors at various times, covering a period of about 1,000 years -- all the literature that they could find over a period longer than the time that has elapsed since the discovery of America down to the present time. Is the Bible anything but a human book? Of course those who are believers take both sides of it. If there is anything that troubles them, "We don't believe this." Anything that doesn't trouble them they do believe. What about its accounts of the origin of the world? What about its account of the first man and the first woman? Adam was the first, made about less than 6,000 years ago. Well, of course, every scientist knows that human beings have been on the earth at least a half-million years, probably more. Adam got lonesome and they made a companion for him. That was a good day's work -- or a day's work, anyhow.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 640円 |

 Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality Virtue on the Verge【電子書籍】[ Stephen F. Baca ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality＜br /＞ By: Stephen F. Baca＜/p＞ ＜p＞The art on the front cover represents the twelve supreme Greek deities; displayed from left to right they are Demeter, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hera, Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Dionysius. This book strikes a parallel between the character and behavior of these supreme mythical gods and that of today’s elite nihilists. Just like the current gods of the new morality, the Greek gods were not noble; they were absurd, decadent, and powerful.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Absurdities of the Gods of the New Morality is unique in that it identifies, specifically, those who were primarily responsible for the declension of virtue in our society. It is a complete, comprehensive, and exhaustive exposure of the negative enculturation of America by elitist Boomer activists.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There was a decline of morality and virtue in our country, precipitated by Boomer activists starting in the 1960s, when Boomers first started reaching age 18 and went off to college, where they were proselytized by socialistic professors. Sound ethics, morality, and virtue are essential elements of any orderly society, and we are headed in the wrong direction. The solution is a return to virtue and decency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stephen F. Baca’s background is in business management. He was a marketing executive for a large national corporation for many years. Capitalizing on an opportunity, he resigned from his corporate position and became a successful entrepreneur with his own privately held logistics company in California and later in Arizona. He has broad business education and experience, which allowed him to succeed in his various corporate and entrepreneurial endeavors. His keen interest in history drove him to investigate and research chaotic events and circumstances plaguing our country, and the deleterious impact this iconoclastic behavior was having on our moral ethos. He became an ardent student of the generation that underlies the topic of this book. It soon became clear to him that the chaos and vitriolic activism advocating for a retreat from traditional moral values was being promulgated by a certain small segment of the Boomer generation, which he has denominated “the gods of the new morality.”＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,938円 |

 Somersaults: Rovings, Tears & Absurdities - A Memoir from the Fringe of Journalism【電子書籍】[ J.J. Hespeler-Boultbee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Born in Vancouver, the author of this unusual memoir initially attended school in Australia. Getting to Australia was one thing - getting back to North America in the middle of World War II, aged now seven, was a different kettle of fish. He and the nuclear family of which he was the smallest part sailed from Sydney aboard the S.S. President Grant, which soon necessitated a hair-raising escape across the South Pacific to avoid prowling Japanese submarines intent on sinking a ship that bore the name of such an illustrious American president. Provisions exhausted, the ship's complement was obliged to drink condensed sea water and eat quantities of flying fish for sustenance the very stuff of scurvy. ＜br＞In geography classes he found himself well in advance of his peers; in all other studies he suffered lamentably until his art teacher hit on the idea of abandoning the incomprehensible sciences, and Latin. Permission granted, this enabled a welcome concentration on the arts: ceramics, writing, art history. ＜br＞He returned to Canada the worse for wear following two years of active service in the British Army's colonial wars in Africa and the Far East. There was no help for victims of PTSD in those days, so he muddled his way into parochial Canadian journalism. It paid the bills but almost certainly increased the intensity of his angst until, on assignment in Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birmingham, Alabama, of the 1960's, he came upon an entire population even wackier than what he had found in the British colonies. The only way to make sense of it all was to write it down. Alternative realities presented themselves as stories, and journalism became the method of telling them. ＜p＞＜b＞＜u＞About the Author＜/u＞:＜/b＞ ＜br＞J.J. (Jeremy) Hespeler-Boultbee started travelling when he was two, and has been on the move ever since. Finishing school in England, he served for two years with the British Army in Kenya and Malaya before returning to Canada to work as a journalist. His later working life was spent as an artist and academic in Portugal. He has travelled widely in Europe and Africa, and currently lives with his wife in Victoria, on Vancouver Island. ＜br＞J.J. Hespeler-Boultbee is the author of three books: ＜i＞A Story in Stones: Portugal's Influence on Culture and Architecture in the Highlands of Ethiopia 1493-1634, Mrs. Queen's Chump: Idi Amin, the Mau Mau, Communists, and Other Silly Follies of the British Empire A Military Memoir,＜/i＞ and ＜i＞Somersaults: Rovings, Tears & Absurdities A Memoir from the Fringe of Journalism.＜/i＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 854円 |
