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 [...]

The Born Again Dogma

June 21, 2011

Most Christians I meet talk about being “born again”.  Often, this is a defining moment in their lives that separates two distinct time frames.  You will hear them say, “Before I was saved…”, and “Since I’ve been saved…”  Both of these things revolve around this idea of being born again. I was brought up a [...]

Omnipotence and Time Paradoxes

September 23, 2010

I know it seems like I’m beating a dead dog here, since there are so many things wrong with omnipotence, but my mind follows down paths already visited and I discovered something that may have slipped the mind of people that have thought about this before.  Namely what it means to be all powerful when [...]

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 [...]

Being All Powerful Isn’t What it Seems

September 15, 2010

How many times has someone told you that God is all powerful?  Have you ever thought of what it means to be all powerful?  What could you do while being all powerful?  Would there be anything you could not do?  Could you actually do anything? In my Philosophy class today, we discussed something I never [...]

Biology Textbooks Fear Creationists

August 28, 2010

I was reading the first chapter of my Biology Textbook, and it really goes into detail about how science has nothing to say on religious matters.  That along with the Syllabus I got for the class really shows how worried they are about creationists. The professor also strongly emphasized that science does not say anything [...]

Why is it my Country Where Christians are Nuttiest?

August 14, 2010

Here in the United States, we have quite a bit of things that other countries don’t.  One of those things is the separation of church and state.  I imagine there is another country or two where they may have this, but I haven’t heard of them. Another one of those things is a pantload of [...]

Shockofgod Debunked – Proof and Evidence that Atheism is Accurate and Correct

August 14, 2010

Well, I’m going to give this guy his continued 15 minutes of fame.  Shockofgod on YouTube has asked, albeit a long long time ago, for atheists to show “proof and evidence that atheism is accurate and correct”, and I’m going to give it to him. I know it feeds his ego, but the insanity of [...]

The New Problem of Evil

July 30, 2010

The problem of evil has been around for a long time, and it has not evolved over the years.  On the other hand, arguments for the existence of God have evolved, but nobody seems to be holding apologists feet to the fire about the problem their new arguments create for their God. The Problem of [...]

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 [...]
