Earlier this week I responded to a logically flawed "challenge" to Christians. It aimed to have Christians offer "scientific" evidence for the existence of only the God of Christianity. Well, I have a challenge of my own for Atheists who claim to reject God on the basis that the advances in … [Read more...]
The “Challenge” to Christians
June 3, 2013 by 7 Comments
I tend to follow Atheist bloggers because I believe it is important to familiarize yourself with multiple points of view which are contrary to your own. Anyway, I read the following post, a challenge to Christians in an Atheist's blog I happened upon via Twitter a few months back. In it, the … [Read more...]

Question to self-identified 'Freethinkers': What is a Freethinker? What distinguishes Freethinkers from others? … [Read more...]
There’s no scientific evidence for the resurrection, so what now?
May 29, 2013 by 5 Comments
Why is it difficult to believe the resurrection of Jesus was an historical fact? Is it because there's no scientific evidence? Is it because we have to rely on testimony, which may be inaccurate? Is it because sages today aren't resurrected? I can sympathize, to a point. I do think the … [Read more...]
Why do we fight evolution?
May 28, 2013 by 7 Comments
When discussing the origins of morality, most Atheists are willing to offer evolution as a viable option. However, I believe it is obvious that the evolutionary process could not have produced moral imparitives. A cursory reflection on our own interactions with others should make this obvious. We … [Read more...]
Q: If God healed amputees would you believe? A: Probably not
May 10, 2013 by 9 Comments
This common objection among internet Atheists goes something like this: Does God just not care about amputees? If God existed He would heal amputees, or even one amputee. None are healed, therefore God most likely doesn't exist. If only God would heal an amputee (in a scientific lab, on video, in … [Read more...]
God doesn’t exist because of tides… or something
May 9, 2013 by 6 Comments
The intellectual high ground: The other day someone asked me seriously what I believe in. I've always been very critical of all religions and never taken them serious even when I was a kid forced to go to church. So I'm opening this up for all of you. Here's what I believe: All religion is … [Read more...]
Richard Dawkins voted world’s top thinker
April 26, 2013 by 9 Comments
Yes, the man who posits that it's more probable that aliens, who evolved in a Darwinian fashion seeded the Earth with living organisms which also evolved in a Darwinian fashion, was voted the world's top thinker. ________________________________________________________________ That's right, the … [Read more...]
Purpose and evolution
April 19, 2013 by 12 Comments
Q: Why does the moon shine at night? A: To help people see better at night. If it's silliness to say the purpose of the moon is to help people see better at night, why isn't it also silliness for evolutionists to assign purpose to the biological structures of organisms? If it's true that … [Read more...]
Judge declares Atheists are unreasonable
April 3, 2013 by 26 Comments
Atheists are the thin-skinned tattle tales of the legal system. The mere sight of a cross or the word "God" out in the open sends them into hyperventilation and spasms. A little while back the American Atheists sued to remove the twisted metal from the World Trade Center which happened to form … [Read more...]
If Evolution were true then why…
March 29, 2013 by 68 Comments
I am about to ask an even sillier seeming question to those who would profess allegiance to the Evolutionary theory than before. If Evolution knows no boundaries so that single-celled organisms could evolve into such complex entities as human beings and blue whales, why aren't domesticated pigs and … [Read more...]
Why he’s an Atheist
March 26, 2013 by 3 Comments
Hemant Mehta, author of the blog Friendly Atheist responded to a writing prompt asking for an explanation for why one is an Atheist in 200 words or less. I found his response interesting -- unimpressive, but interesting. I’m an atheist because I appreciate honesty and questioning, something … [Read more...]
Law Allows Prayer In Public Schools
March 22, 2013 by 15 Comments
The organization American Atheists is fuming over a bill in Mississippi known as the RELIGIOUS VIEWPOINTS ANTIDISCRIMINATION ACT. From their website: Last Thursday, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed HB 638, a bill requiring public schools to develop policies allowing students to pray over … [Read more...]
The American moral trajectory
March 20, 2013 by 5 Comments
There isn't much substance I could add to this post from American Creed. Whenever anyone attempts to link the moral decay of America to the nation's resistance to God they are branded a fanatic of one stripe or another, mostly by those who are resisting God and His moral standard. Moral short … [Read more...]
Because Atheism is not a religion…
March 19, 2013 by 57 Comments
Lest it be mistaken that I believe atheism is in fact a religion let me be clear: I don't believe it is. But I do believe a good number of Atheists behave religiously about their atheism. They are usually the ones found on the internet making sure everyone knows what they don't believe. These … [Read more...]
Is Atheism a Complex?
March 14, 2013 by 57 Comments
Philosopher Thomas Nagel wrote: I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is … [Read more...]
Evolutionary maybes
March 14, 2013 by 76 Comments
The difficulty of discussing evolution with those who stake their entire worldview on it is that it gets caught up in the maybes. It's quite humorous to me, for its hypocrisy. What I mean is religious adherents are often criticized by skeptics when they are asked something like "Why would God..." … [Read more...]

Atheism is dangerous for children
March 12, 2013 by 63 Comments
I don't expect professing Atheists to agree. However there is, to a degree, a sense of abuse -- in the ultimate sense -- in teaching children that God doesn't exist. Mind you, I don't consider it abuse because (which) God's existence is obvious, though I believe it is. It's because … [Read more...]
Two Questions For Atheists…
March 12, 2013 by 9 Comments
I wish to pose two questions to atheists. They are not trick questions and there is no ulterior motive. I am genuinely interested in your responses. First, let me state the obvious. Religion has had a greater affect on humanity than anything else. It has driven kings to conquer and nations to … [Read more...]
