Anselm's Gambit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781304040374)

Atheists have created some myths - about themselves, about Christians, about society - to deal in part with questions that arise as implications of the "There is no God" decision. But are those myths true? This book examines those issues. It also suggests questions atheists need to be addressing once they get past the "so now what?" stage: Do I really have the freedom of choice to make my personal decisions? If God doesn't constrain our choices, what does? What are our morals and values, and where do they come from? What really is sacred? Why? Would Moses, Jesus, Mohammed or Buddha look at the religions and say, "Yup, that's what I intended all along. Good job!" How did we end up as this dysfunctional based on what appear to be some fundamentally good ideas? What can that tell us about our situation now? Finally, if we are not to have faith in God, is faith itself closed to us? If not, what, exactly does that mean, and how can we use faith properly?
