WHERE WE ARE Should we view homosexual sex as morally wrong because it is (allegedly) condemned in the book of Leviticus? In Part 1 of this series I outlined a dozen reasons to doubt this viewpoint. Here is the first reason: 1. God does NOT exist, so no prophet and no book contains truth or wisdom from God. In Part 2 of this series I explained my reason for skepticism in general (i.e. CYNICISM), and I explained my reasons for skepticism about supernatural claims. In this Part… Read more

WHERE WE ARE In his book When Skeptics Ask (hereafter: WSA), Norman Geisler presents his general version of a Thomist Cosmological Argument (hereafter: TCA). The first premise of Geisler’s TCA is this: 1. Finite, changing things exist. (WSA, p.18) Geisler provides a very brief argument in support of (1) in WSA. In Part 4 of this series I showed that Geisler’s brief argument in support of (1) was a stinking philosophical TURD. It FAILS utterly and completely to support ANY… Read more

I was raised a Presbyterian, and I think that debating predestination with my Sunday School teachers was one of the main things that pushed me towards an interest–and finally a career–in philosophy. However, there are still many things about the doctrine that I do not understand. I am presently teaching a graduate-level survey of the history of ideas and we are covering the Reformation, with readings from Luther and Calvin. Below is a portion of some notes I plan to… Read more

The basic objection in the meme is that there are several things that Leviticus prohibits that Christians seem to have no moral objections against. Eating ham or bacon or pork ribs or pork chops or pork roast or pork sausage: 7 The pig, for even though… Read more

The book is called The Unnecessary Science: A Critical Analysis of Natural Law Theory. Here is the final paragraph of the Foreword that I wrote for the book: In The Unnecessary Science, Gunther Laird provides an intellectual banquet of concepts, principles, arguments, and skeptical objections about religion and morality that draws upon the ideas… Read more
