Why I Do Not Believe in God

Annie Besant

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Why I Do Not Believe in God," Annie Besant presents a compelling examination of spirituality and religious belief, challenging the traditional tenets of organized religion through a rationalist lens. The book eloquently articulates her views on the nature of divinity, intertwining personal anecdotes with philosophical discourse. Besant employs a clear and persuasive literary style, adeptly utilizing logical arguments and emotional appeals to engage readers. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by intellectual awakening and skepticism towards established doctrines, this work serves as a significant contribution to the dialogue surrounding atheism and humanism. Annie Besant was a notable theosophist, social reformer, and advocate for women's rights whose vast experiences shaped her worldview. Born in 1847 in London, her early involvement in social justice issues and her later embrace of Theosophy informed her critique of traditional religious practices. Besant's commitment to reason and social progress led her to examine the implications of belief on individual and societal well-being, ultimately compelling her to articulate her non-belief. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intellectual currents of the time and the merging of spirituality with rational thought. Besant's arguments resonate with contemporary discussions on belief and skepticism, making it a riveting exploration for both scholars and general readers alike.

Fusion of the Worlds - An...

Paul Stoller

"This ethnography is more like a film than a book, so well does Stoller evoke the color, sight, sounds, and movements of Songhay possession ceremonies."—Choice "Stoller brilliantly recreates the reality of spirit presence; hosts are what they mediate, and spirits become flesh and blood in the 'fusion' with human existence. . . . An excellent demonstration of the benefits of a new genre of ethnographic writing. It expands our understanding of the harsh world of Songhay mediums and sorcerers."—Bruce Kapferer, American Ethnologist "A vivid story that will appeal to a wide audience. . . . The voices of individual Songhay are evident and forceful throughout the story. . . . Like a painter, [Stoller] is concerned with the rich surface of things, with depicting images, evoking sensations, and enriching perceptions. . . . He has succeeded admirably." —Michael Lambek, American Anthropologist "Events (ceremonies and life histories) are evoked in cinematic style. . . . [This book is] approachable and absorbing—it is well written, uncluttered by jargon and elegantly structured."—Richard Fardon, Times Higher Education Supplement "Compelling, insightful, rich in ethnographic detail, and worthy of becoming a classic in the scholarship on Africa."—Aidan Southall, African Studies Review

Trail of Tears - The Cruel...

Kelly Mass

The Trail of Tears was a harrowing series of forced relocations that took place between 1830 and 1850, impacting approximately 60,000 American Indians from the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." These tribes, which included the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, were driven from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern United States to designated areas west of the Mississippi River, an event orchestrated by the United States government. The forced removal was the culmination of a decades-long process of ethnic cleansing that occurred gradually, as tribes were stripped of their homelands, cultural identities, and livelihoods. Alongside them, thousands of African American slaves owned by these tribes were also relocated, compounding the tragedy. 
The Indian Removal Act, passed in 1830, paved the way for the systematic relocation of these tribes. It was during this period that the Cherokee removal in 1838—often considered the most infamous and final forced relocation east of the Mississippi—occurred. This event was largely triggered by the discovery of gold in Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1828, which sparked the Georgia Gold Rush. The prospect of wealth led state officials and settlers to covet Cherokee land, ultimately resulting in the forced march to the newly designated "Indian Territory" in what is now Oklahoma.

Governing by chaos - Social...

Lucien Cerise

Given the growing success of this book, first published in 2009 and then updated in 2014, this third edition has been fully revised and updated by the author, incorporating the latest expressions of social chaos, instrumentalized by the powers that be for the past eight years.
How to become the masters of the world in the age of the Internet? The good-old method of the pyromaniac fireman still works. Renamed “shock strategy” or social engineering, it consists of plunging populations into crisis and anguish to better centralize order and power in the hands of an oligarchy usurping the identity of the savior. In the twentieth century, politics has moved from the art of persuasion to technical issues of hacking minds and optimizing group management. To that end, several disciplines and approaches are applied—cybernetics, marketing, management—to trap the masses into organized chaos, while they try to respond to the panic provoked by a transhumanist computer dictatorship based on biometrics, the all-digital, the vaccine pass, and eventually the suppression of cash and privacy.
