Vlad Chituc misses the mark badly.

The ever dishonest Vlad Chituc has a post up over at Chris Stedman’s blog in response to Zach Alexander’s review of Stedman’s book, in which the bulk of Zach’s post goes unnoticed and the main point goes sailing over Vlad’s head.  But this paragraph in it stuck out to me and really illustrates the problem [...]

“Einstein proves my point!”

Steven here… In my debates with theists, I tend to have to bring up the flaws in religious epistemology. It’s an incredibly flawed method of finding out what’s real, especially when compared to that of science. The problem with bringing up the superiority of science, is that inevitably you will hear the argument that Albert [...]

I get email: Matthew.

I got an email from Matthew.  I was at the presentation you gave yesterday a Rose-Hulman. You said you thought that Christian apologists had to know their evidence was bad. What would you say about the evidence of irreducibly complex systems? (Such as the Blood clotting cascade and cilium) You mentioned them yesterday (with the [...]

Comment round-up.

This week’s comment came from just last night.  On my post comparing prayer to magical thinking Jeremy Forbing said… Wow. For a new blogger on a site encouraging respectful dialogue between faiths and belief systems, you’re really pissing the bed. Do this for me, Jeremy.  With the exception of my post condemning some other atheists [...]

Building bridges to wickedness.

Geez, do I hate giving Chris Stedman any attention.  Over the last few years he, and some of the people to whom he has provided a platform, have taken shots at me when he knew I would not be able to fire back.  Though he attempts to build himself up as some type of hero [...]

Comment round-up.

Well that didn’t take long.  Already I’ve got some believers in the comments howling at me.  Splendid.  The door is always open to you here at WWJTD.  However, no quarter will be given here either.  Know that before you make yourself at home. It has become clear to me that I should have a weekly [...]

Timothy Dalrymple on abortion.

In preparation for my forthcoming move to Patheos, I started reading some of their other blogs today.  Suffice that there were a lot of opinions being expressed that I found bewildering, to say the least. So I emailed Dan, who runs the atheist portal over at Patheos, to ask if the posts of my colleagues [...]

Checkmate in 2.

This is pure ownage. The thread went strangely silent after that…

Ebony Dixon tries to save my soul.

Ebony Dixon found my post on the American Bible Challenge and decided to take a stab at saving my soul.

Apparently, I don't get the "Until Abortion Ends" campaign…

I wrote a blog back in December about the Until Abortion Ends campaign. Christina showed me a growing anti-abortion trend last night.  It’s a website called “Until Abortion Ends (a Hero Initiative)”.  The idea is that people will make a personal sacrifice until abortion is made illegal. Turns out people were giving up soda, coffee, [...]
