So, here we go again. A theist showed up on r/AskanAtheist and wanted to know why atheists were so incapable of impressing him, as a Protestant Christian, based on Dawkins’ The God Delusion. So we tried to help him out and that’s when absolutely everything went completely wrong. Continue reading This is Why the Religious are Dumb

Well There’s Your Problem!
Last night, we went out to eat and since we were already in the parking lot, we stopped in to Best Buy to look for printers. The one we have sucks and we need something better.
Best Buy is not the place to go looking for printers or anything else. The place is literally empty. I don’t know why they even bother to open the doors. Something is seriously wrong. Continue reading Well There’s Your Problem!
Debating With Straw Men
/low-angle-view-scarecrow-against-cloudy-sky-562838541-5aaf18adfa6bcc00360a609c.jpg)
A couple of days ago, on someone else’s videos entirely, a belligerent theist approached me and challenged me to a debate. He was cocksure and obnoxious, saying he’d never lost a debate against an atheist so I said sure. Go right ahead. Let’s see what you’ve got.
Except what he had was nothing he ought to have been proud of. Let’s take a look. Continue reading Debating With Straw Men
The Emotionally Frail Millennials
I came across this over on Quora as an answer to someone’s question and it’s so misguided that I just knew I had to respond. The question is, why are modern people so emotionally fragile. This doesn’t quite answer the question but we can see where it goes. Continue reading The Emotionally Frail Millennials
Bad Arguments About Free Will
Recently, Talk Heathen put out a video from a theist who wanted to talk about God and free will. While the call itself was pointless, the thought experiment that Kenneth Leonard came up with was terminally flawed and I see this kind of thing happening all the time.
So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Bad Arguments About Free Will
What’s the Point of Baggers?
As long as we’re on a roll, let’s just go for it. So I just got back from Stater Bros. to pick up a couple of things that we forgot over the weekend. As anyone who has read the blog for a while knows, I’m not that impressed by Stater Bros., they were profiteering off of the pandemic and frankly, their employees are generally assholes. However, I’m really starting to wonder why the hell we even have baggers anymore? What exactly do they do? Continue reading What’s the Point of Baggers?
There Are Two Sides
I came across this yet again on the latest episode of Truth Wanted, where co-host Dave Warnock decided to pretend that there’s only one side in any political debate.
Sorry, it just doesn’t work that way. Continue reading There Are Two Sides
Emotions on Your Sleeves
I know this is hardly a surprise but I just caught another instance and thought I’d bring it up. There are a lot of people out there who simply cannot keep their emotions in check. They clearly don’t even know that they’re doing it. Exactly why is that?
Free Speech is Just a Suggestion
I know I shouldn’t be surprised but when this kind of thing comes up, the stupidity of the left never really surprises me.
Someone posted that some subreddit or another was posting something they didn’t like and, of course, that meant that it had to be stopped and wanted Reddit to delete the subreddit and ban everyone involved. No, nothing actually violated Reddit’s AUP, it just made leftists mad and therefore, mass cancellation was called for. Continue reading Free Speech is Just a Suggestion
The Absurdity of the Free Will Argument
Most discussions about free will become complete clusterfucks, mostly, I’m convinced, because everyone is talking past everyone else. It’s just happened yet again so I thought it was a good opportunity to put down some thoughts about why I think free will, at least as I’m going to define it, exists and why hard determinism is such a waste of time.
