Foolish Ramblings

Here is my response to an apostate named Em: “I wouldn’t say ‘reject’, I would say highly skeptical about the nature of him.” I think you have because Christ is our ultimate authority. You are saying he isn’t trustworthy because of your childish excuses. So, a pretend neutrality is not going to make you seem more rational to me. “Most of the Gnostic’s, and early documents (gospels) are written at least 20-50 years after the fact; to which many of the disciples by this time would have been dead.” You’ve always had a common habit of saying easily refuted statements. … Continue reading Foolish Ramblings

Shapiro vs Harris

I usually don’t speak about Ben Shapiro or Sam Harris but they recently had a debate. I reject both materialism and Judaism. Both men are prominent and popular in current conservative circles. They represent the two sects that exist in conservativism: Religious and Non-religious. The question will one day become which of these undergird that political system. The village atheist thinks that Harris is actually some genius and the theist thought Ben got him on the issue of Freewill. This goes to show how each group lacks critical thinking skills. Harris is asked how does he avoid the naturalistic fallacy. … Continue reading Shapiro vs Harris

Altruistic Theaters

I have sometimes been around an unbeliever that claims they wouldn’t want Jesus to die for them and that it is wrong for him to bear the punishment they deserve. Why should Jesus have to die for me? Everyone should be responsible for themselves. It seems to me that these intuitions need to be challenged. Imagine you go to the movies and the story is about a son of a man of outstanding character has engaged in illegal activity that catches him into trouble. This man of character then engages in a story that requires if he wishes to save … Continue reading Altruistic Theaters

Did Jesus exist?

This is the silliest of all the issues I am providing links on. It also contains resources for the reliability of the New Testament. The idea that Jesus doesn’t exist has grown more popular as village atheist has grown more desperate for arguments. These will not convince them, but it will help those confused by them. Here are the resources: Tyler Vela: Special Edition – Interview with Albert McIlhenny History for Atheists… And the Rest of Us – Part 1 History for Atheists… And the Rest of Us – Part 2 “I Will Cite My Sources When You Agree With … Continue reading Did Jesus exist?

ARIF vs Necessitarian

Here is Jimmy Stephens response to the same man from my previous post. Here are his thoughts: Your questions seemed like contorted, flowery pseudo-intellectual word games crafted to trip up atheists. And this preface isn’t flowery or lacking charity at all. :rolling_eyes: My epistemological standard is correct because it works. . . What sane and sober person thinks otherwise? What a useless standard. Science and the scientific method is that standard. Categorical error alert! By the very nature of the case, science does not answer or even ask the fundamental questions of epistemology. For example, “How do I know induction … Continue reading ARIF vs Necessitarian
