It can only be due to the unfathomable level of biblical illiteracy that Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Dan Barker, et al are seen by so many as Bible expositors and, as it were, the infallible interpreters. Well in keeping with defining “atheism” as anti-theism Christopher Hitchens—who fancies himself to be an “anti-theist”—proposes the…

Let us just come out with it already and let atheists enjoy their own holiday (aholiday or unholiday?). Seriously, why make them take every religious holiday (actually, just the Christian ones) as an opportunity to bother everyone who is trying to enjoy themselves? I am always appreciative of adherents of the positive affirmation of God’s…

The Talmud-Megillah 13a states, Whoever repudiates idolatry is accounted a Jew. What is the difference between a “Jew” who believes in Jesus and a “Christian”? The difference is one of heritage.

During that same trip, Crowley made contact with…

With regards to the interpretation of the scriptures some of the conflicts amongst Jews and Christians are due to the fact that the Jewish understanding of the scripture has been, and is being, redefined and reinterpreted. Some Rabbis, Torah teachers, Jewish scholars and particularly anti-missionaries are now claiming that Jews have always believed in things…

This article is a collaborative effort between Ken Ammi, the TrueFreethinker and Marcia Montenegro, ex-astrologer and head of CANA – Christian Answers for the New Age. The Types Martial arts is a generic term under the umbrella of which various “schools” are referenced. There are martial arts which are derived from Japan such as Aikido,…

Let us consider further arguments that have broken out about atheist attempts to proselytize children and otherwise express anti-Christian prejudice in the guise of humanism and concern and free thinking freedom of choice. Here is one such example: critics say the ideas behind the campaign are seriously flawed, especially the notion that it is possible…
