Getting Over Jesus: Finding Meaning and Morals without God
Does Christianity offer the pathway to a meaningful life, a glorious afterlife, and objective morality?
In this reflective critique rooted in personal experience, Ari Armstrong counters that we best find meaning through value-focused pursuits and loving relationships. Although Heaven and Hell are myths, we can and should focus on making the most of our lives on Earth. While religious faith delivers moral subjectivism, we can through reason discover a reality-based and genuinely objective morality.
Speaking primarily to young adults questioning their faith, Armstrong explores Christianity’s defense mechanisms, the finality of death, the dangers of faith, the incoherence of supernaturalism, and other topics. He shows how people can live their best lives by rejecting faith and the supernatural in favor of reason and reality.
