Cheesecake Jesus

With all the complaints Atheists have against religion accusing most believers of having a gullible blind faith, you’d think Christians would be less willing to provide examples of exactly that. (AZCentral) -- A Scottsdale family on Wednesday said their cheesecake is a Christmas miracle. When they … [Read more...]

The slippery slope: Pedophilia a sexual orientation

When those who oppose same-sex marriage said that in affirming same-sex sexual attraction as a natural, immutable, normal variant of human sexuality it would open the door for other sexual variations -- such as pedophilia to claim the same normalcy and therefore, social acceptance they were called … [Read more...]

Atheist trying to make a joke of Christian holiday confuses Christmas and Easter

No doubt this particular Atheist thinks he knows too much about Christianity to believe it.  His post contains short videos mocking the crucifixion of Jesus, rather than his birth...which is what Christmas celebrates.  Perhaps this Easter there'll be snarky images of nativity … [Read more...]

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas

  To all my readers, I wish you a wonderous and safe Christmas.  Thank you for the time you spend with me to discuss my thoughts.  You are all much appreciated. … [Read more...]

Merry Nothing

  For the life of me I can't understand why some Atheists would celebrate Christmas...if they were trying to be intellectually consistent.  Christmas is the most significant religious holiday second possibly only to Easter.  Not only is it religious, it is the cultural recognition of a … [Read more...]

Discussing Reformed Theology: Is Election Unconditional?

This is a follow up to Adam Robles' original post discussing whether the doctrine of Unconditional Election is taught in the Bible.  These posts discussing Reformed Theology are not debates, per se, rather they are discussions.  Because they are less formal, the posts back and forth will read more … [Read more...]

A&E: Not “Happy, Happy”

Star of Duck Dynasty, Phil Robertson, has been suspended indefinitely by A&E for “offensive comments” during a GQ interview. “It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus...That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to … [Read more...]

Cruel Logic — The real consequence of a Godless morality

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.  If there is no afterlife, we should eat, drink, and be merry — for tomorrow we die. … [Read more...]

Discussing Reformed Theology: Does Jesus Teach Unconditional Election?

First, a quick introduction: My name is Adam Robles but when I engage in theology discussions I go by AD Robles, because everyone knows the best theologians only go by their first two initials! I live in New York, am 31 years old, and have a wonderful wife of 2 years. I have been walking with the … [Read more...]

Discussing Reformed Theology

About a week or so ago I meandered onto a social media group where Reformed theological doctrines were the topic of discussion.  It's an issue I've always enjoyed probably because I have a good time meddling in controversy.  I do not consider myself a Reformed Christian, though I do lean that way on … [Read more...]

Addressing a common atheist objection: “I didn’t get a good answer to my question about God, so He doesn’t exist”

It has been my persistent experience that the majority of the reasons Atheists give for why they believe God doesn't exist are actually irrelevant to whether he does. In other words, often, even if their complaint were true it says nothing about whether God exists. … [Read more...]

The standards of Atheism

Is it reasonable for Atheists to require a standard of evidence or proof from Theists for the existence of God (or veracity of Christianity) to reach the level of undeniability?  The more time I spend on the internet the more I find Atheists assign a threshold of evidence for God that they give … [Read more...]

Statistics

Who doesn't love statistics?  I sure do.  What statistic do you find really interesting?  What about one that you found shocking the first time you heard it? … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Proclamation, President George Washington

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by … [Read more...]

What’s the point of bloggers deleting dissenting comments?

The first time I was told by someone that they were glad to see I don't censor or moderate dissenting comments here I was shocked to hear it was common.  I was first told this by Atheists.  They said it was common for other Christian bloggers to delete or not allow their comments even if they … [Read more...]

The Framers and their unconstitutional Constitution

Many of the same men responsible for, and who ratified, the Constitution,  specifically the first amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people … [Read more...]

Atheists and the dead man

I don't know how many people are familiar with the story of the man who thinks he's dead and cannot be convinced otherwise. Here's a short version of this:   A man is convinced he is dead. His wife and kids are exasperated. They keep telling him he's not dead. But he continues to insist he's … [Read more...]

Atheists flock to churches of Atheism because atheism is not a religion

Atheism is a belief, and it is a worldview, but I understand that it isn't a religion even if some Atheists hold to their atheism religiously.  Newly trending is the creation of churches of atheism -- pun intended. (FoxNews) --  It looked like a typical Sunday morning at any mega-church. Hundreds … [Read more...]

Lowercase ‘g’ exposes the emotional aversion to God

I have found that most vociferous and hostile Atheists will not use a capital 'G' when writing the word "God". I know, I know, it's not necessarily a name, per se.  However, when debating with Christians, it is for all intents and purposes, a name. I'm not convinced this is an attempt to be … [Read more...]

Where are Jesus’ descendants?

A conversation about genealogies got me thinking.  If I am correct, historically speaking, the Jewish people kept track of their families' blood lines back to the biblical tribes of Israel.  There ought to be a line, or lines, of Jewish families who could trace their roots back to Jesus' immediate … [Read more...]
