The Political Left views people in groups, not as individuals. This is why some people are more equal than others and why some people are more valuable than others (i.e., hate crime laws). In so doing it is then possible to create divides among the people. People lose their individual identities … [Read more...]
How do you interpret the above graphic? This is not an innocuous 'treat others as you'd like to be treated' message. As I see it, there are some rather bold claims about the world. … [Read more...]
I think it's safe to say none of us want to be told we're doing something morally wrong. Who wants to be thought of as a bad person? Well, the more I encounter this admonition from someone who preaches 'don't judge' the more I am finding it comes from the same kind of person: One who is … [Read more...]
The following clip is as sad as it is funny, _____________________________________________________ Let me help Ed Shultz's faith leader on this one. It's 2 Thessalonians 3:10 "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to … [Read more...]
It's the 'probably' that's a problem. Now, I'm not making any arguments here, but probably shouldn't offer the level of comfort many Atheists find in their belief that there's probably no God. I'm just thinking of all the other probablys: The ice is probably safe to walk on. The gun is … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/religulous/status/379723024939098113 This retweet really serves to show how little some Atheists (who claim the intellectual high ground no doubt) understand about Christian theology. The doctrine of the Trinity posits that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are all … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/371553942313779200 Isn't it cute how famed biologist Richard Dawkins tries so hard to offer theological commentary on the nature of God. He's the world's top thinker you know. What is he really trying to say here? Is he saying that God isn't or … [Read more...]
It doesn't really surprise me that there would arise a movement in the professing Christian community who would side with anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-Bible activists. How should we interpret a professing Christian organization who would align themselves with someone like LGBT activist Dan … [Read more...]
I don't see circumcision to be immoral or barbaric. If I were to suppose why people might believe it to be barbaric, I'd say because it's a religious practice. You don't hear much about piercing infant's ears from that crowd, then again you might. But I never do. How disgusted could you be about … [Read more...]
Discussing ethics and morality with Atheists can prove to be frustrating, for everyone involved. Theists will argue that an atheistic worldview cannot properly ground morality given naturalism. And from that Atheists often hear 'Atheists cannot behave morally unless they believe in God'. But I … [Read more...]
I'm often asked by skeptics why I'm not a member of some other religious belief system. Is it because of where I was raised? How do I reject other religions without rejecting my own for the same reasons? Simple. There is some deeply-rooted central premise within competing religions which renders … [Read more...]
I met up with my father at a local bar last night. He plays darts in a league and asked me to join him there. One of the other players came over to my table to introduce himself and we got talking politics. My father introduced the topic knowing my political bent and this guy's, and knowing my … [Read more...]
It's the age old question, everyone has considered it at some point or another. What happens to a person after the die? I'd like everyone regardless of their theological (or atheological) bent to answer if they would. Secondly, and as importantly as the first, why do you believe your view is true? … [Read more...]
I can't say I'm too optimistic with this challenge. A good many Atheists will make the unsubstantiated claim that Christianity has the same (in quantity and quality) evidence -- or lack of evidence -- as any other religion. I would like that claim substantiated here in the comments below. What … [Read more...]
https://twitter.com/religulous/status/360587992395546625 That there may have been 18,000 invented gods, their being invented has no bearing on whether the 18,001st is also invented. Let's say I've been commissioned to pick up a friend of a friend, named Dana Smith from the airport whom I've never … [Read more...]
If it could be known by another person everything about you; all your desires, your likes (even the weird things) and dislikes, private quirks, every thing you've done even in private, and every thought you've had, could you be loved? If I had to be honest, if every deed I've done, thought were … [Read more...]
Let me begin by saying up front that I get the point: if you hold exclusive religious beliefs you, in essence, condemn those outside your group to hell. But the atheist world view doesn't hold that non-Atheists receive any eternal punishment, so why not hold to atheism so you don't have to believe … [Read more...]
Religion is responsible for more deaths and wars in the world than any other cause, but not really. Many Atheists will make this claim and add to it that countries which embrace atheism to greater degrees are more peaceful and bestow more rights upon their citizens than countries thick with … [Read more...]
Specifically, what do you, who are Atheists, believe about why Theists are theists? For example, I hear quite often and see just as often statements like "you only believe in God/your God because of your parents/upbringing/where you were born. Break free!" Sure I suppose some, maybe even many … [Read more...]
Ordinarily I'd side with Atheists who would object to the Theist (Christians mostly) who would assert that the Atheist does in fact know God exists. Not because I think the accusation is wrong, but because telling someone what they believe is generally not a good starting point. Why would a … [Read more...]
