Atheist rapper Greydon Square is down with the ‘ol peeps. Or are they down with him? I do not know how that works. He, an African-American, stated, “I do shows in front of senior citizen white people.”1 Can you imagine? “Yeah boyyyyyy! Everybody in the old folks home take a tug from your oxygen tank…

NOTE: This was written by Josh and originally posted on Atheism is Dead (True Freethinker‘s predecessor) I was doing a bit of link-chasing tonight when I ran across this article critical of William Lane Craig’s KCA. Just a few thoughts… Although Dr. Craig’s support for it is uneven, I find the arguments used by atheologians…

I’ve been looking around for material to comment on, and stumbled across some of Quentin Smith’s writings over at at the Internet Infidels.

This group, referred to as a “murder”-a term in this sense is taken from referring to a group of crows a…

Having considered John Horgan’s review of abiogenesis theories we also considered his interview with Francis Collins. It seemed timely to further consider some, non-scientific, criticisms of Francis Collins made by various atheists. Time and time, and time again, atheist make well within the box arguments against Christians which end up not only leaving Christians unscathed…

The presumed brilliance of his succinctions emote flabbergastation in rational thinkers. Following are three such instances: The…

Atheism and ChristianityFor many people pain and suffering, in actuality or as a concept, are reasons, or excuses, to call God’s good character, or existence, into question. Atheism and morality Sometimes the situation is one in which a person wonders “Why would God let me, or make me, go through this pain and suffering,” and…

Strident, Arrogant, Vitriolic, and or Shrill? The discussion begins with Prof. Richard Dawkins asking, “One of the things we’ve all met is the accusation that we are strident, or aahm, arrogant, or, or vitriolic, or shrill, aah, what do we think about that.” The answers are basically that no matter how naughty or nice they…
