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. Russia is violently propping up the Shia regime in Syria, Iran may already have a … Continue reading →

Why don’t you just burn in Heaven!

There’s been a lot of discussion about Hell this week, especially from this apologist, David, so it might be timely to re-post this reassuring little number from 2013: Heaven is hotter than Hell. It’s just one of those oddities that causes your brain to do little summersaults. Heaven is hotter than Hell. It sounds comical, … Continue reading →

The Rather Simple Question No Christian Can Answer

There are many ways to litigate the general nonsense presented by religions, especially that species of religion expressed in the Abrahamic faiths. The most tempting is—naturally—in contesting the outlandish claims of supernaturalism, but what is the most tempting is not necessarily the most potent.

I’m John, and this is Mary.” Mary: “Hi! We’re here to invite you to come kiss Hank’s ass with us.” … Continue reading →

A Christian Nation

We often hear talk of the US being a Christian Nation. This, of course, is an absurd statement. In no way was the US crafted as having a government whose institutions were based on any religious belief, let alone Christianity. The majority of the founders had, in fact, long dismissed Christianity, some like Franklin even … Continue reading →

The God Problem

To say there is a ghastly pile of truly appalling problems pervading the entire concept of an Omnimax god would be an understatement of monstrously proportioned scale. The idea is not only systematically barren of evidence, the abstraction itself is riddled with a rash of rational inconsistencies, stunning contradictions, and logical fallacies so spectacularly obvious … Continue reading →
