I’ve seen Matt Dillahunty say this a couple of times but I’ve always disagreed. The idea is that someone who thinks they have had an experience with the divine, that somehow justifies a belief in a god. Except it doesn’t. Only an *ACTUAL* experience with a *DEMONSTRABLE* deity would justify a belief that such a god was actually there.
Let me know when someone manages to do that. Continue reading Personal Experience Doesn’t Justify God
Not long ago, Richard Dawkins posted the above tweet and the leftist world shit it’s collective pants. What the hell else is new? Yet this time, I think people are starting to recognize the standard progressive dog whistle isn’t actually working. Lots of very influential people on the atheist and skeptical side are starting to ask questions and recognizing that this isn’t actually making any sense. So here’s my take on it and why none of this is actually a surprise.
Hope you enjoy.
I caught a video from Talk Heathen today, where a caller had some problems understanding the concept of evil from a religious context. I see this kind of thing all the time, especially from the religious and I think it’s time we talked about it.
Fair warning, this is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Continue reading Let’s Talk About Evil
This came up in an atheist subreddit recently, where people were asking what’s stopping the world in general and humanity in particular from improving and my answer, as should be no surprise, is “stupid people”. It’s certainly more nuanced than that short answer, but I noticed that it was a pretty common answer to the thread.
Except a lot of those responding seem to be missing a very obvious problem: that it’s more than just the religious who suffer from this particular affliction. So let’s look at it. Continue reading What’s Stopping the World From Getting Better?
Back to back today, I went to two stores and had two really awful customer service experiences, blatantly so, to the point that I’ll be calling the corporate offices of both companies in the morning to file complaints. Because this shit has to stop. Continue reading Bad Customer Service Everywhere!
It’s well-known that I have some pretty serious issues with BitChute, mostly technical in nature. The site just doesn’t work and it doesn’t show any sign of getting better any time soon. However, there are a lot of people out there who dislike BitChute for other reasons. They hate it because it actually has to follow the law and they don’t like that. These people are idiots. Continue reading Reality Doesn’t Work That Way!
I hear this a lot from the non-religious, as though it’s a demonstrated fact and it’s not actually true. Recently, I was listening to a lot of Atheist Experience clips and the subject of slavery comes up a lot. That’s fine, of course, but it also shows a very clear bias and irrational bent from Matt Dillahunty that I think it’s important to look at the problems with these claims. So off we go. Continue reading Is Slavery Actually Immoral?
Go watch that video first and then come back because I’m going to get into some of the details. It’s okay, I’ll wait. Continue reading Matt Dillahunty Gets It Wrong
This kind of thing comes up all the time and I figured it was about time I talked about it because I tend to disagree with determinism on a certain scale and a lot of people just don’t like that.
So let’s have a conversation. Continue reading Let’s Talk About Determinism
I just had someone over on my YouTube channel criticize me because I’m insulting people who believe in gods. They are a believer and even though they agree with me on so-called “church people”, I should stop telling people to stop using their emotions.
Except that’s not what I’m doing and someone really misunderstands pretty much everything I’m saying. So here I will explain. Continue reading Faulty Reasoning
