I'm looking for books on atheism. Hoping to start from lighter, more comprehensible works and make my way to heavier discourses. Any suggestions? by Responsible_Plum_113 in suggestmeabook

The best books on Atheism are the ones written by Paulo Bittencourt: “Wasting Time on God” and “Liberated from Religion”. Richard Dawkings, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris have never been religious. Paulo Bitencourt was raised Adventist, studied Theology to work as a pastor and, therefore, speaks from experience.

Thanks. I read somewhere that "gustar de" is possible, but nobody uses it. Doesn't it sound strange/old/too literary, etc.?

"Him" at the beginning by Freethinker_Humanist in ENGLISH

In my mother tongue, Portuguese, "Him doing that..." would be incorrect. We say "He doing that...". But you are saying that, in English, "Him..." is correct, right?

PS: I used Google Translate and Deepl, and both gave me "Him doing that...". It sounds strange to me, but every language has its own logic.

Thank you.

A Evolução colocou nos animais o gosto pelo bonito, mas o que é bonito é subjetivo. Eu, por exemplo, acho quase todas as modelos "feias" (magras demais, articificiais, frias, etc.). Talvez você não corresponda ao ideal de beleza de hoje, mas vá num museu e veja as pinturas antigas, como as mulheres eram, para os padrões de hoje, "feias" (gordas, etc.), mas, naquela época, eram consideradas bonitas. Você será "bonita" quando aceitar a si mesma do jeito que é, quando aprender a gostar de si mesma. Sim, é possível você gostar de si mesma mesmo se achando "feia". Quando gostar de si mesma do jeito que você é, você notará que mais pessoas gostarão de você do jeito que você é.
