"I wish it were easy to believe, to surrender to the illusion of love. Am I too strong or too weak? I can’t help but feel loneliness, because my words can never hold my reality. I want someone, I want something to recognize me. I want to be known, that is my problem."
In this provocative and newly expanded edition, Joachim Kahl challenges the very foundations of Christianity, arguing that the religion has failed to live up to the ideals of its founder. Kahl contends that the gospel of Christ, far from being a message of love and compassion, has instead been used to justify the persecution of Jews, the suppression of women and sexuality, and a cynical indifference to social reform. Now, half a century after its original publication, Kahl's searing critique is more relevant than ever. This updated translation includes previously untranslated sections from the latest German edition, delving deeper into the role of institutional religion in perpetuating inequality and injustice. Kahl also reflects on the enduring significance of his arguments in light of global events and shifting religious landscapes. Prepare to have your assumptions about Christianity challenged and your mind opened to a bold new perspective. This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex and often troubling relationship between faith, power, and social change. Joachim Kahl's compelling journey from theology to secular humanism is masterfully captured in this thought-provoking book. Born in war-torn Germany, Kahl's quest for truth led him from the pulpit to the lectern, as he grappled with the profound questions of our time. With a philosopher's insight and an activist's passion, Kahl invites readers to join him on a transformative exploration of reason, ethics, and the human condition.Mostra libro
This bundle contains the following titles: Freedom of Speech: Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere. Children’s Rights: Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. While significant progress has been made in raising awareness of children's rights, millions of children still suffer from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and deprivation. This complex and multifaceted issue requires an in-depth understanding of the challenges children face, as well as the actions needed to safeguard their well-being.Mostra libro

Andrea Dworkin, once called "Feminism's Malcolm X," has been worshipped, reviled, criticized, and analyzed—but never ignored. The power of her writing, the passion of her ideals, and the ferocity of her intellect have spurred the arguments and activism of two generations of feminists. Now the book that she's best known for—in which she provoked the argument that ultimately split apart the feminist movement—is being reissued for the young women and men of the twenty-first century. Intercourse enraged as many readers as it inspired when it was first published in 1987. In it, Dworkin argues that in a male supremacist society, sex between men and women constitutes a central part of women's subordination to men. (This argument was quickly—and falsely—simplified to "all sex is rape" in the public arena, adding fire to Dworkin's already radical persona.) In her introduction to this twentieth-anniversary edition of Intercourse, Ariel Levy, the author of Female Chauvinist Pigs, discusses the circumstances of Dworkin's untimely death in the spring of 2005, and the enormous impact of her life and work. Dworkin's argument, she points out, is the stickiest question of feminism: Can a woman fight the power when he shares her bed?Mostra libro
