There are already thousands of books about spirituality, atheism, the afterlife, and the meaning of life.So why another one?Besides the fact that this has 170+ cartoon illustrations and a goofy sense of humor, it was written as the kind of book that thinks about these questions the way regular people actually think about them.Not as an expert.Not as a guru.Not as a monk who sold his Maserati.More like two people sitting around on a Friday night, eating pizza, trying to figure out what the heck is going on — and still not being able to pick a side.Take near-death experiences, for example.Maybe they really are glimpses of an afterlife. Maybe people are visiting another realm, meeting dead relatives, connecting with a divine light, and coming back with a message that there is something awaiting us after we pass.Or maybe it is all happening inside a dying brain — oxygen deprivation, memory flashes, gamma waves, chemicals, and one last neurological fireworks show before the lights go out.That back-and-forth is the book.26 Logical Reasons I am a Theist and Atheist wanders through the reasons to believe and the reasons not to believe, exploring topics like:Near-Death Experiences • Ghosts • Heaven • Karma • Astrology • Evolution • Cloning • Frozen Embryos • Past Lives • RNA World Hypothesis • Reincarnation • Consciousness • Free Will • Determinism • Miracles • Soul Energy • Conjoined Twins • The Incubus Phenomenon • Occam's Razor • and moreThis is not a dry philosophy book, a religious sermon, or an angry atheist manifesto. It is an entertaining, open-minded journey for readers who are torn between belief and doubt and still have questions about their own spirituality.If you are a wishy-washy agnostic — for whom the existential answer is not yet obvious — then this book is for you.
