The Desperation of the Deicidal, Memetic Eugenics and the Evolutionary Watchmen, part 1 of 2
True Freethinker has considered some statements made by Dan Barker during his debate with Peter Payne which I entitled Dan Barker and the Alien Rape Voyeurs. Any ethical system that’s based on threats and promises is morally bankrupt…That is a morally bankrupt thing to do. To begin with we must note that this is, of…

The BOBA Digest, Part 2: Daniel Dennett's Desperation
I perceive that Professor of Philosophy Daniel Dennett is a pretty bright personage (pun intended). Unfortunately, when he gets into the neo-atheist mindset he appears to lose his wits, his cool and his erudition as a professor of philosophy. With regards to accountability, or responsibility, Daniel Dennett wrote: “Those who maintain religions, and take steps…

Atheist Greydon Square – Rapper Extraordinaire
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…

The first premise of the KCA
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.

Mr. Smith is a thoughtful, intelligent atheist that I have respect for. So if all goes well, I intend to critically examine a few of his articles which attempt to positively assert…

Atheist Alogic – The Flunking of Craig James, George Francis & PZ Myers
It appears that another one of those newspaper-blog-column wars ensued on June 2009 AD regarding atheism. Andy Birkey’s article Kersten’s back at the Strib… and riling up atheists is a one stop shop for the same, old, tired, and ubiquitously discredited atheist talking points. The article states: After a several-month hiatus, Katherine Kersten’s lightning rod-conservatism…

The Quadripartite Equine Riders, part 7 of 11
Cosmology and the Pathetic Bible Christopher Hitchens then brings up the following point: “You know, Dinesh D’Souza makes this statement in his new book. He’s going to be, by the way, one of the much more literate and well-read and educated of our antagonists I’m going to be debating soon. He says that in Genesis,…

A Murder of Atheists, part 3
We now continue considering the group effort by Robert Greg Cavin, Michael Martin, Theodore Drange, Robert Price, Richard Carrier, Peter Kirby, Jeffery Lowder, Evan Fales, Duncan Derrett and Keith Parsons to discredit Jesus’ resurrection? This group, referred to as a “murder”-a term in this sense is taken from referring to a group of crows a…
