Pursuit of the truth requires more than imagination: it requires the generation and decisive elimination of alternative possibilities until, ideally, only one remains, and it requires a habitual readiness to attack one's own convictions.

  1. Your t-shirt says it all and the atrocities of the 20th century proves it all. Those who believe everything material came from nothing material by nothing believe absurdities.

  2. And do the atrocities of the 20th century prove that god gives a rat's ass? Where was god while millions were dying? Where is god when millions starve? Where is god while women are executed for being sorceresses and children are maimed for being witches? WHERE? If he exists he is an insufferable bully.

  3. And what justification do believers, especially Christians, have for ethical treatment of animals? There is not a single Bible verse that can be considered to encourage ethical behaviour towards animals, and many that state explicitly that animals should be at best exploited, and at worst destroyed altogether.

    Craig is funny. And evil. He will go to any length to justify his theism, even if it means dehumanizing the population of an entire geographical area (i.e. Canaan), or justifying the needless suffering of animals.

Please Consider Donating

I update this site on a very frequent basis, am passionate about what I do, respond to comments from my readers and engage my audience, am very active beyond the keyboard, and am not in any sort of 'ivory tower.' Unfortunately, blogging is no full-time well-paying position by any means. If you enjoy my work and would like to donate something -- even a dollar that you would never miss -- as a sign of appreciation, I would be very appreciative. Thank you!
