About this listen
In Atheism Kills, Barak Lurie exposes the horrors of a world without God. Contrary to the mantra we've heard time and time again that religion is responsible for more deaths than anything else, it is in fact the absence of God which has killed - in obscene numbers.
Ever since atheism first assumed government control in the French Revolution, it has done nothing but kill. Atheism has killed through its many deputies: progressivism, eugenics, fascism, and communism. Lurie shows that it was the godlessness in each of these ideologies that killed hundreds of millions. But atheism doesn't just kill lives. It kills purpose, free will, beauty, compassion, a sense of the past and future, creativity, and freedom itself. Atheism offers only the horrors of chaos and totalitarianism.
The world misplaces its focus on Radical Islam as the greatest threat to civilization. As horrible as it is, it is doing nothing and having no sense of self which are the true enemies. It was our will to fight and sense of mission that overcame fascism and communism. We must have these to keep Radical Islam at bay, too.
This is why we must resist the growth of atheism. It was God that gave us our freedom. It was God who gave our sense of purpose that created civilization. Take those away, and there is nothing to fight for. In this way, Lurie shows that the lack of belief in God is our greatest danger. How does he know? Because like there will always be fires, there will always be enemies that seek to destroy our civilization. But if we don't have fire stations with crew, and protocol in each city to deal with fires, those fires will consume us. Likewise, how we prepare ourselves to deal with horrific ideologies will be what saves us. That preparation can only come with our embrace of the centrality of God.

Story
Atheism Destroys focuses on how godlessness destroys our most treasured institutions and values: free speech, family, relationships, and even courage. Lurie shows how godlessness has been the primary destroyer of many of our liberties. He also shows how godlessness is the root of and primary force enabling drug cartels, the mafia, sex trafficking, and psychopaths. With insight, stories, and humor, Lurie treats atheism as a destructive force in and of itself—one that we dare not tread lightly and which we must resist like any other enemy at the gate.

Story
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

In this seminal work that has spent more than 30 years in print, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin explain the reasons behind anti-Semitism, the world's preoccupation with the Jews and Israel, and why now more than ever the world needs to confront anti-Jewish sentiment. Prager and Telushkin examine in detail how anti-Semitism is a unique hatred - no other prejudice has been as universal, deep, or permanent - and how the concept of the "chosen people" spawned that hatred.

To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. 6Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide listeners through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God.

In the words of WEF founder Klaus Schwab, the Great Reset is a "unique window of opportunity" afforded by the worldwide COVID-19 panic to build "a new social contract" ushering in a utopian era of economic, social, and environmental justice. But beneath their lofty and inspiring words, what are their actual plans?

This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant - both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.

Democrats, the news media, and many leading Republicans immediately blamed the roughly four-hour disturbance on President Trump. The president “incited an insurrection”, the American pubic was told. But one year later, the original narrative of what happened that day has crumbled while hundreds of Americans have been swept up in an unprecedented investigation led by Joe Biden’s Justice Department to punish them for their involvement in the January 6 protest. The public has been misled - and flat-out lied to - about that day. This book exposes them all.

Barak has a pleasant, understandable voice. His research seems extensive and fair. Peculiar, but an atheist I know told me God has killed billions. He pointed to the Old Testament, e.g. Noah.

Worth a listen/read
I believe it does a great job of sharing what a true atheist would believe. And also how to potentially counter those beliefs with logic. Also brings out the importance of how we should acknowledge God as a society, otherwise we are likely to descend into chaos and brutality.

One of a kind
There are many books on atheism, and many of them are quite good. This book stands WAY out amongst the lot for a few reasons which I'll try to explain. Most seem to approach atheism from the philosophical and historical point of view, from the outside as it were, and then try to refute it with an apologetics. That has its place I admit. The approach of this book is not so much telling you about atheism directly, or rather from a frontal approach, but shows you from the inside the atheist him / her self. Furthermore, he comes to this point of view with the most profound insight of what the deepest human need ACTUALLY is. HERE is the formula of This truly Wise book. Only from this formula does he get to the true depth of not only what atheism is but WHY atheism is andwhat its consequences are to the human soul and our society. Is it not the atheists soul that's in pain and lost after all. They may deny they are one, yet hope seeks that Books like this may help them open there eyes and hearts. And yet....And yet.. ,the unmistakable reality that there chosen paths has direct consequences which deeply harm us ALL, not to mention our future generations .I for one feel both compassion alongside anger for those who walk this incredibly destructive road .. Well done Mr.Lurie. You truly are a wise man and I'm grateful you wrote This Book.
P.s. The narration was also expertly performed by Mr Lurie with fine tone and needed intensity.

Fascinating, Brilliant and Uplifting
A wonderful book, I enjoyed every minute and each chapter became my favorite. Before I started reading it, I thought I would like the book because I already agreed with its premise, but I didn’t realize I would learn so much and be so entertained and enlightened. It’s packed full of stories and facts with humor and pop culture sprinkled throughout. The message is important and relevant and is inspiring and hopeful. I liked listening to the audible version because I got to hear how the author wanted to express it. It was clear, pleasant and easy to understand and my long commute zipped by.
