I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!

I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.

I certainly can sympathize with that, there are plenty of things that I’d love to do that I can’t. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s life and you need to have realistic expectations and, sadly, this  guy simply didn’t. Continue reading I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!

This is why Religious Debates Fail

So I ran across this article over on Creation.com where they’re trying to provide a strategy for debating against atheists. I could go through the entire thing, it is ridiculous, but the best part was a single flow chart that shows everything that they’re doing wrong and trying to push all of the faults on the skeptics.

Disagreeing With Matt Dillahunty… Again!

Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 7

So let’s finish this up. It’s been a long road but we’re finally at the last section in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. This time is an argument against agnosticism and it will come as no surprise that they still don’t understand what the word means.

What else is new, right? Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 7

Why Am I Mean? Here’s Why!

So there was a call on Talk Heathen recently, where some lunatic theist spent a half-hour trying to justify their beliefs and, at the same time, hide from all of the credible questions that the hosts were trying to ask. I said something in the comments about this guy being an imbecile, mostly because he is.

So here’s why I think we need to stop pussyfooting around and treating these people like special snowflakes. It’s time to call a spade a spade because it’s the only way these morons are going to learn anything. Continue reading Why Am I Mean? Here’s Why!

Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6b

Now we’re into supposed arguments for local atheism and I don’t really expect to be excited by what they come up with, but you never know. We’re getting close to the end of the look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. Is this going to go anywhere? Let’s plunge in and see.
