Download No Sacred Cows: Investigating Myths, Cults, and the Supernatural AudioBook Free
While idea in religious supernatural claims is waning throughout the Western world, evidence suggests idea in nonreligious supernatural claims is increasing. What points out this contradiction? How do a modern culture with a slipping idea in God have a growing idea in ghosts, psychic capabilities, historic astronauts, and other supernatural or pseudo-scientific phenomena? Taking the same anthropological procedure he used in his notable studies of faith, atheist writer and activist David G. McAfee turns his focus on nonreligious faith-based claims. Whether going undercover as a medium, getting tested at Scientology headquarters in Los Angeles, or interviewing celebrity paranormalists and famous skeptics, he leaves no natural stone unturned in his research. As regarding religion, he discovers an unwillingness among "believers" to critically examine their most closely held convictions. Only one time individuals honestly assess their own sacred cows will they be able to ensure that their values conform to the known facts - and our decisions as a modern culture derive from the best available proof.
