Imagine, if you will, a bright young chap proposing an intriguing hypothesis for something. It doesn’t really matter what. What’s important is that it was a hypothesis that, at least on paper, sounded quite compelling. So, an Abstract was written, and following the Abstract some justifications for the probable truth of the idea were published… … Continue reading

THE GREATEST RELIGIOUS QUESTION NEVER ANSWERED
Post dedicated to America’s Newest Best Worst Apologist, Mel Wild: senior pastor at the Cornerstone Church. It is the most conspicuous religious question never answered, and this simple brute fact should aggravate and needle every waking moment of every person who believes this world was created: Why did the Creator create? For what purpose was … Continue reading

On the Problem of Good
Adapted from my new book, On the Problem of Good. The staggering amount and variety of evil in this world should not be the source of enormous confusion for believers in God. The world has not gone spectacularly wrong. The machine has not malfunctioned. There has been no mistake, no misstep, no ineptitude or imbecilic … Continue reading
The Failure of the Christian Narrative
The Christian narrative states that a maximally powerful, maximally good, all-knowing aseitic being consciously created everything, including man who short-circuited shortly after. This failure resulted in the immediate separation of all earthly things, including man, from the Creator: the Middle Eastern deity named, Yhwh. The objective of life, according to the Christian narrative, is to … Continue reading
Why? A Challenge to All Believers
It is a question that should possess every believer in an all-powerful creator spirit. It is a question that should haunt their every waking hour and occupy their every thought. It is a question they should obsess over, maddened by its dazzling conspicuousness, and embarrassed beyond all measure that it even exists. It is a … Continue reading
The Teleology Challenge
Since its publication in June this year, not a single intelligible rebuttal has been offered to the general thesis presented in The Owner of All Infernal Names: An Introductory Treatise on the Existence, Nature & Government of Our Omnimalevolent Creator. In its most trimmed down presentation, that thesis presents a diverse library of evidences which … Continue reading
On Evil
In the minds of those determined to believe[1], maximum evil could not, under any circumstance, exist unto itself, free and unrestricted. In the eyes of those who must believe, this universe could not, as such, possibly be the construct of a perfectly evil, maximally powerful creator because such a universe would almost certainly annihilate itself. Maximum evil, it is held … Continue reading
The Universe Absurd: A Functional Proof for the Omnimalevolent Creator
“Contrivance proves design,” accurately observed William Paley, “and the predominant tendency of the contrivance indicates the disposition of the designer.” Know then the disposition, revealed as it must be through design, through the architecture, and one may know the Designer. If we assume a designer, a Creator, then what does the most conspicuous of all … Continue reading
Before there was Light: A Functional Proof for the Omnimalevolent Creator
No one but The Owner of All Infernal Names can faithfully claim to know if He is pleased more by the total aggregate of suffering distributed across all of His creation, or whether He is more circumspect and discerning in His pleasure taking, savouring discreet yet increasingly potent, increasingly more complex parcels of sophisticated and … Continue reading
