This has come up several times in recent weeks for obvious reasons and I’ve been hesitant to talk about it over on YouTube. In fact, I specifically asked Patreon backers if I should talk about politics and social issues on the channel and almost universally, I was told no.
Therefore, I’m going to do it here. See you below the fold. Continue reading Let’s Talk Abortion
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and frankly, I’m out of people to vote for. There’s an election coming up in a couple of weeks and, at the moment, I don’t think I can vote for anyone on the ballot in good conscience.
Things have gotten really, really bad lately. Continue reading It’s Hard Being a Conservative Atheist!
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.
That’s not exactly a surprise, is it? Continue reading This is why Religious Debates Fail
If you talk to the religious, they are convinced that there’s no way that a cult could arise in short order with a messiah that isn’t real. That’s how they know that Jesus was God!
Apparently, they haven’t looked at what’s going on in the world right now. Continue reading It’s Funny How This Works
So, Matt put out a video, I’ll include it below the fold, where he talks about what atheists are supposedly fighting for. In theory, that’s not a bad topic and he does say some decent things about it that I’m perfectly fine with.
Then, he gets into things that are a bit problematic, as much as I personally detest that word. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Disagreeing With Matt Dillahunty… Again!
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
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!
We’re getting close to the end of our look at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on atheism and agnosticism. This time, we’re on the last part of the supposed arguments for “local atheism“.
So far, I haven’t been remotely impressed but let’s continue on and see if it improves. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6c
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. Continue reading Let’s Look at Philosophical Atheism Part 6b
I was thinking about this over the last couple of days, but maybe you can relate to this. Have you ever watched two theists debate? It doesn’t matter what kind of theist they are, they can share the same faith or they can be completely different, but it’s really not very impressive if you approach it from the outside.
Why is that? Here’s my explanation and why I think playing those games is ultimately pointless. Continue reading It’s Hard to be Impressed
