Okay, you guys. Seriously, this is amazing. I am holding in my hands an issue of The Watchtower with the cover story: “Five Lies About God Exposed!” The introduction is too beautiful not to type it out here. Blockquote, ahoy! Have you been lied to? Few experiences hurt more than learning that someone you trust [...]

Would anything change your mind?
I brought this question up at another one of those Bible study meetings I mentioned a while back. We were discussing whether it was appropriate for a Christian to question, complain about, or protest the things happening in their lives or the things they were required by circumstance to do. Given that I’ve named this [...]

Please, try to convert me!
This is in response to something that a friend of mine said to me in an interesting conversation we were having about religion last week, and something which kind of Gil wrote yesterday in a comment on this blog. Both said something very close to: “I hope you don’t think I’m trying to convert you, [...]

Convinced by fine-tuning?
Cosmic fine tuning was one of the arguments put forward to me as evidence in favor of a god’s existence, in that epic comment thread a while back. Jojo the hun wrote, I’m very interested in the observation that the values of a number of independent physical constants have a highly unlikely combination of values [...]

Faith as a virtue
As an atheist, when I hear platitudes like “You gotta have faith,” I think, “No, you really don’t.” Not only is (religious) faith not necessary for a good life, I believe it’s detrimental. How could it be a virtue to go around believing things just because you want them to be true, when there’s no [...]

Pretend I’m an alien
A common opening line for an evangelist is something like, “Have you ever read [my holy book]?” or “Have you ever heard of [my religion]?” Sometimes I find it kind of insulting; it sounds as though they are saying that the only reason someone might not be a follower of their religion is if they [...]

Some believers really do understand
…Or do they? On a random walk through blog links the other day, I came to this post that was too good not to preserve in a screenshot. It’s from the blog of The Reformed Baptist Church of Louisville on May 21 of this year, which you may recall was a predicted date of some [...]

An easy way to prove God is real!
Why is it that some Christians pretend that overwhelming physical evidence of their god’s existence is impossible? The Gospels themselves lay out instructions on how to demonstrate to the world that God is behind that faith that you have. As Netwriter shows so clearly in this video, there are no ifs, ands, or buts, no [...]

When does evidence matter?
Let’s get back to that long (but pretty civil) argument I was talking about the other day. I’ve already covered how the religious side of the debate maintained that whether or not their god exists is not an important consideration in their religious faith, while the atheist side wanted to see a god’s existence established [...]
