- Vox Day vs Common Sense Atheism — A few thoughts 1:02am Oct 30|3 Comments
Ok, finally… I was so close for so long. I have the new site layout pretty much finished (I think). Let me know if you see some obvious mistakes when you’re clicking around, and let me know what you think of the redesign. If you are reading this through an RSS feed, come check out the site. No...
So close to finishing my new theme layout… hopefully that’ll be completed soon and won’t cause any major disruptions to the site. Added as a new member to the blogroll: AiGBusted — which is not about the company, but Answers in Genesis. The bl...
Two bloggers have been going back and forth with some religious debate. Luke from Common Sense Atheism and Vox Day from Vox Day have been going back and forth via letters between their two blogs. I’ve witnessed 5 from Luke, 4 from Vox and hundreds of comments. ...
My last entry was about the phrasing of questions to cut off common retreats from the question itself. The last improvement left the question as: Atheist: Why do you worship a God that allows suffering...
My approach to religious debates aims at making the conversations as effective as possible. What does it mean to have an ‘effective’ debate or conversation? At minimum, an effective debate has to have actually engaged the real thoughts and beliefs of the participants. In...

PZ Meyers challenged atheist bloggers to request the Good News Magazine booklet on evolution, and to write up an entry about … what we learned? Or, an entry tearing into little pieces — something like one of the two. Anyway, after we got the booklet, we were supposed to go through it. I ...
I think it it more disturbing when churches actually fully accept what they are really doing. sigh
Zeus stabbed a church with its own steeple! Steeple snaps, jabs church as storms rage into Salina BY STAN FINGER — The Wichita Eagle “…no one heard the steeple snap off and stab the roof like a spear shortly after 10:30 a.m., Train said. The ...
I saw it first on reddit, then I saw it linked to by PZ Meyers… I wanted to post it just to have for a record. ...
Some people may get the idea that I have a fascination with Zeus. I find him a useful foil. I have re-read in recent days the breathless accounts of various “Resurrection of Jesus” evidence. It blows my mind — and not in the way that the Christian writers want. I wa...
Many Christians who have apologetics in their head have a bizarre standard of evidence that they want people to accept. I find that they do a weird back and forth — look at the historical and scientific evidence — until it goes to zero, and then switches to faith. Bu...
I have been engaged in a number of emails with a reader named Marcia. My previous blog entry contained a part of my email response to her and she left the 5th note on that entry...
