I don’t see any signs that there is a God operating in our world…our universe. Never was.
Someone prove to me that God really exists.
Prove that Jesus really was God…or the son of God…or existed.
Prove that the early Hebrews were God’s special people.
Prove that God…if he exists…has any power [...]

This is a response to http://vaisnavaapologetics.wordpress.com/2008/04/21/is-god-just-a-psychological-crutch/
I’m not going to be defending the position that god is a psychological crutch, though it is an opinion I do hold, but I will be defending the position that atheism is not a psychological crutch.

Everything is Permitted
If God doesn’t exist, then everything is permitted. There’s no absolute moral standard against [...]

I asked Chris Dills (undergroundreformation.wordpress.com) and Chris Taylor (sharpeningiron.wordpress.com) a whole slew of questions about Christians and Dills answered one, and I disagreed with his answer and Chris Taylor answered something like 8 and I disagreed with just about all of his answers.
I noted that he sort of dodged the question “How did god decide [...]

When I posed a question to the kind, smart, and (thank non-existent god!) not completely fucking insane (like most of the theists I’ve debated with on the internet) Christians I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with Chris Dills and Chris Taylor, I received speedy and admittedly predictable (I could have guessed their responses) answers from [...]

Yes, the title’s humorous.
Anyway, someone made a lengthy response to my “Defending My Secularism” post and I thought I’d go through it here. It is a well-constructed and thought out response.
Check out the previous post’s comment section for his full comment. I’m just responding here.

Some guy named “Carey” recently commented on Josh’s blog (at http://shidemn.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/jesus-is-dead-let-him-be-dead/#comment-306) that he had 11 texts that proved that Jesus was a historical figure.
This is my investigation into whether or not they actually prove Jesus’ historicity.
Here’s his list:
”1. Cornelius Tacitus (Roman Historian) - “Annals” XV.44
2. Lucian of Samosata (2nd century satirist) - “The Passing Peregrinus” [...]

Someone by the name of “Coll” recently left this comment on my first Christian Challenge’s page.
“As a believer our aim is not to prove that God exists even the bible does not aim to do this but assumes God’s existence. God has given enough evidence to show but not to take away all doubt. It [...]
