Can God be good if he can’t choose to do evil?

February 21, 2012

People like to say that God is “the good”, but that means that everything God does is good. Nothing he does could possibly be bad, as it is God’s nature to be good. Beyond the question of whether the things God does are good because God does them, or if God is good because he [...]

Well, Matt Slick is at it again, but what’s new? Matt has put out 36 questions for atheists about standards of morality.  He has also asked them in a YouTube video.  Many of these don’t pertain to my view on morality, many of them are extremely redundant, and many of them are laughable because they [...]

Pope Benedict, GRRR!

September 17, 2010

Well, I try to avoid discussing things that everyone else is already talking about, but this insanity just really irks me. Pope Benedict claimed yesterday, first of all, that the Nazis were atheists, and also claimed that atheist extremism was the cause for the worst atrocities of the 20th century. I don’t understand how this [...]

Family Kills Man for not Watching Religious Show

June 22, 2010

I wish this was a joke, but as with the mother that killed her baby by stuffing bible pages down her throat earlier this week, a family in South Africa killed a man for wanting to watch a soccer game instead of a religious program. Police say a South African man who wanted to watch [...]

I’ve finally succumbed to YouTube

June 22, 2010

It’s official.  I was avoiding YouTube for a while, and I even intended on doing a podcast before I did any YouTube videos, but I realized that video is the perfect way to explain some things that were difficult with text, and would probably be tough with audio alone as well. So far, I’ve been [...]

I had a Facebook friend post a quote on her status, and I thought it was a very nicely worded quote that gently put religion in the “unnecessary” basket without being offensive, although I seriously doubt the author meant it to tarnish the importance of religion whatsoever. People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking [...]

Another Example of Why Religion is Bullshit

May 5, 2010

A Jehova’s Witness man in Ghana has disowned his 5 year old son because the hospital gave him a blood transfusion.  How messed up is that? Leaving the hypocritical stand the Watchtower Society holds on blood transfusions aside, I have heard of this practice of shunning, and I have heard that JW’s will shun people [...]

Amazingly People Defend the Pope

May 2, 2010

Well, Tim Minchin isn’t really my favorite comedian, but he made a song that I find to be not only pertinent, but humorous.  It says why people are upset about this whole pope protecting pedophiles thing, and it does it irreverently, which I believe is the best way to get the point across sometimes. People [...]

William Lane Craig’s Paradigm Paradox

March 7, 2010

Wow, I’m sorry to be writing about this again so soon after addressing it the last time, but every time I turn around I am coming up with more problems with the argument from moral authority.  Now, this can be considered to be the explanation of why the suggested third option for the moral dilemma [...]

Circular Reasoning and the Primacy of God

February 22, 2010

When dealing with arguments for the existence of God, we often end up in a circular reasoning situation.  This is necessary, simply because of the nature of the argument.  If you say that God is the source for something, but hold that nothing precedes God, that all becomes necessarily circular. If you say, God is [...]
