Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ: A Pagan Myth, is a detailed comparison of the religious and ethical beliefs held by the Greco-Roman world and the views held by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, and the Gospel of Mark, the earliest written gospel in the New Testament. Why do Mark and the gospels that followed him, as well as Paul's letters, reflect not Jewish ethics but rather the Stoic ethics of the Greco-Roman pagan world? Why the striking similarity between the religion of Paul and the mystery religions of the pagan world which surrounded him? Why are Mark and Paul so anti-Jewish? Why are Jesus' last words "Why have you (God) abandoned me?" Why does Jesus feel he is dying on the cross, a failure, that he i...

Josue
Who is this man? Josué is locked up in Shalem State Prison, a maximum-security institution. He had never attracted much attention to himself before, and was content to just "do his own time." But then something happened to him; and now, he's on a mission to share it. "Man, I ain't never heard nothin' like this guy!" exclaims Jamal, one of the twelve prisoners that Josué has appointed to be his "Reps," and to share the Word about his message with the other prisoners. Josué freely gives of himself, praying for the healing of the many troubled people who flock to him, and telling them stories about the "New Order" that God is going to establish very soon. But the authority figures in the prison can't stand this arrogant challenger to their own power. They try to embarrass Josué publicly, and fail utterly. But then, when one of Josué's own followers offers to turn on him, betrayal and greed lead to a violent climax. Does this story sound familiar? Then come and read an all too well-known tale told in a fresh, exciting way and maybe see some things in the story that you'd never noticed before.

Robert G. Ingersoll Against Christianity
Robert G. Ingersoll's works are a scathing analysis of Christianity and the Bible. Volume 1, Part 1 traces the long journey of humanity from superstitious supernatural religion to reason, science and progress. Part 2 points out, however, that the struggle is not finished. Today the Religious Right attacks schools for teaching Darwin. In the 19th-century people were arrested for pointing out that the Bible is not infallible. Ingersoll defends Mr. Reynolds who was charged with this blasphemy. The orator's address to the jury is given. "Whoever has an opinion of his own, and honestly expresses it, will be guilty of heresy.... The church persecutes the living and her God burns the dead." - Heretics and Heresies "I deny the right of any man, of any number of men, of any church, of any State, to put a padlock on the lips - to make the tongue a convict. I passionately deny the right of the Herod of authority to kill the children of the brain." - The Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy
