So there was a recent survey done by the Barna Group, a Christian research organization, which shows that Christianity is in dire straights indeed.
Mindshift did a pretty decent video on it, so I’ll link that below, and the suggestion that I’ve seen on the new research has been largely positive. That things will improve dramatically, as religion dies in the west.
I’m not so sure that’s true though. Here’s why. Continue reading Getting Rid of Religion Won’t Solve Problems
I get asked this a lot because I choose to identify as a mythicist, even though I am not what a lot of people think of when they consider the mythicist position. Maybe I shouldn’t be using the term, but I’ll explain below why I do it and why I don’t really have a horse in this race.
There was another video put up with Paulogia and Matt Dillahunty and I think it’s time I explained it, once and for all. I’ll see you below the fold. Continue reading Did Jesus Exist?
So let’s dive into it. This was hysterical to watch. Continue reading They Still Don’t Get Evidence!
So, I just got permanently banned from Reddit for the stupidest imaginable reason. I don’t really care, it just shows what a complete waste of time it is, but here’s the story anyhow.
I promise, you’ll be rolling your eyes by the end. Continue reading Well, There Goes Reddit!
I just got done talking to another theist and, as expected, it didn’t go well. The second they get backed into the wall or their core beliefs are questioned, off into the hills they run. What else is new?
Yet we all see this all the time, right? How many theists have you talked to that could communicate in a rational, evidence-based way about their beliefs? None? That’s pretty typical. So let’s get into it.
So, another theist showed up on the channel and offered to debate, except over the course of a couple of responses, I backed him into a corner and, at least at the moment, it appears that he’s fled.
That’s not exactly a surprise, is it? Therefore, let’s look at exactly what he did wrong and why, I figure, he knew that he couldn’t actually achieve his goals. Continue reading Back to Square One Once Again
I’ve been on a long-term search for any Christian or other religious apologist worth a damn and so far, my search has come up empty. Occasionally, I’ll see some atheist YouTuber say “I really like this apologist”, but when I look at them, they’re every bit as bad as the rest.
So my question here is… why? Continue reading Um… Why?
Caught a clip over on Atheist Experience and figured I’d comment on it. I have no problem with the way that they handled it, but it was obvious from the beginning that it was a lost case and they still wasted 25 minutes talking to this idiot. This is exactly why the religious are so bone-headed.
Take a look below the fold. Continue reading Here’s the Problem with Religion
I’ve said, in a couple of recent videos, that some of my religious and religious-adjacent books have gone “missing” since we’ve moved. There are still a bunch of boxes out in the garage that have never been unpacked and I’m sure that’s where they are. Some that I know are misplaced include things like my Qur’an, my Book of Mormon and, until recently, some of these!
I’m glad that I came across them again! Continue reading I Found a Few!
So the FFRF (Freedom from Religion Foundation) came out with a video after the Super Bowl, talking about the “Jesus Gets Us” ads. Generally speaking, when they’re talking about the ads themselves, they’re fine, but unfortunately, they took the opportunity to attack conservatism.
That’s not religion, stupid. Figure it out. Continue reading Why the FFRF (and other groups) Suck
