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
I recently did a video response on Mike Licona where he tries to argue that Paul actually matters in the Bible. I agree with him, Paul does matter, just as every other writer in the Bible, but not for the same reasons he thinks. You need to establish a real, historical Paul so that you can objectively and independently verify that the events recorded in the Bible actually happened.
And unfortunately for the religious, you simply can’t do any of that. Continue reading Why Paul is Important
I’ve been watching a bunch of Thomas Sowell videos of late and he’s always been someone I’ve enjoyed. He’s a black author and speaker who is staunchly conservative and thinks that most things the political left are doing is simply wrong.
And he’s completely right about that. But I don’t just accept what he says as gospel truth, I think there are some things he’s wrong about too. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading The Absurdity of Race
