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
Death Cult Christianity
David at Applied Faith has a post up, How Evangelicals Can Look Not-So-Crazy about the End Times, concerning the imminent arrival of the Christian End Times “We’re in a climate where Christians are being mass-murdered and driven out of the Middle East.

Maximum evil, it is held … Continue reading

The god of the Pentateuch does not exist. This is not news. The entire premise of such a being is as Jeremy Bentham would have said, “Nonsense on stilts”[1]… and we should all be very, very pleased that such a creature does not exist. The god of the Pentateuch is a bad god, and we … Continue reading
Why Jews Don’t Believe in Jesus
From The Ohr Somayach Insitute, Jerusalem. Dear Rabbi, Why don’t Jews believe in Jesus? Doesn’t it say in the Psalms, “They pierced my hands and feet”? Doesn’t Isaiah say, “Behold a virgin shall give birth”? JESUS – NOT THE MESSIAH Scriptural References In order to understand anything in the Torah one must look at the original Hebrew. You will … Continue reading
ON THE AFFLUENCE OF EVIL
The amount and variety of evil in our world has often baffled and perplexed believers in God, noted Plantinga[1]. Why, though, should it? Does it perplex observers that water runs downhill? Does it baffle the onlooker to see smoke rise? Is it at all confusing, confounding, or mystifying that fire burns flesh? God exists. Evil not … Continue reading
