How Fundamentalism Works
They make factually false claims. Additionally, while some of the zealots may be true believers in these false claims, the ringleaders are deliberately lying for political reasons. (Some are more specifically classicbullshitters, not caring whether what they say is true or not.) [Liars]

bexamous asked: First of all I'd like to say I love your blog! It's hilarious in parts and I love the fact that you make me question my faith :)
In response to your last post, Christians invariably disagree about doctrines and practices, but they all share certain things - obviously, otherwise there would be no Christianity haha. Small discrepencies in relation to transubstantiation or...

The trouble with Christendom?
Friendly Christian blogger FearAndTrembling asks:
One of the most troubling things to me, as I look at the state of Christendom, is the widespread division, both in terms of doctrine and practice (to use fancier words, orthodoxy and orthopraxy). It’s not just that there is so much in-fighting and church-splitting (though that is a tragedy in its own right), but that the teachings, traditions and...

“Anti-Darwinists love to ridicule the concept of “scientific orthodoxy,” suggesting that it represents the unsupported collective opinion of many scientists who are basically just “voting” on things. Going against it is considered to be evidence of independent thinking and even courage.
A blogger at Uncommon Descent challenged Bruce Waltke’s “high regard for ‘current scientific orthodoxy’”...

John Collins’s Foreword to Human Faces →
“Conservative Christians often affirm that the Bible is historically accurate, internally consistent and morally edifying. Anyone who has had a good introductory course on the Bible at college level knows that it is not necessarily any of the above. Even people who profess to hold that the Bible is inerrant acknowledge in practice that this is not always the case. Nonetheless, biblical...

Human Faces
“The battle over the Bible is increasingly polarized between the absolutism of inerrantists who claim to speak for all Christians and the scorn of secularists who find easy targets for ridicule. With an engaging combination of honesty, goodwill, and wit, Thom Stark offers a vital third way. He explodes the “hermeneutics of convenience” of self-styled inerrantists, examines some of the most...

Disaster reveals God's truth to Muslims →
reverent1:
While floodwaters may be covering a large portion of Pakistan, the response of ministries reveals the truth in the hearts of Christ’s followers…
Wow, reverent1, you are a complete asshole, just like your pretend “god”.
UPDATE: Apparently reverant1 does not believe that all non-christians will burn in hell eternally with no sense of reprieve. Apparently the missionary...

Debunking Christianity: Top TenChristian Delusions →
“…the lord doesn’t work in mysterious ways, but in ways that are indistinguishable from his non-existence. It seems to me that there is nothing in the Christian scriptures, no sentence, paragraph, or idea, that couldn’t be anything more than the product of the humans alive at the time that the apparently divinely inspired scriptures and ideas were “revealed” -...

Bible Summary Debate Challenge →
scottynitealive:
This is intense - it’s going to take this dude about 3 years to tweet a chapter summary of EVERY chapter of the Bible - I’m following it to help me win debates.
I’ll debate you, scottynitealive…
Christianity teaches that God created the world knowing in advance he’d burn most humans eternally in hell with no chance of redemption simply because they were not...

“If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it...”
– St. Augustine of Hippo (via aboutjesus)
Go the Gospel teaches that God created the universe knowing in advance that he would torture eternally in hell almost everyone who ever lived, and he would “save” only a relatively tiny number of people? Wow, if that’s what the Gospel...

Why God is a Terrible Explanation for Anything →
Common Sense Atheism podcast CPBD 061: Paul Almond:
I’m quite happy to say that there is no God in the same way that I will say that is a cup of coffee on the table. It doesn’t mean I’m claiming 100% proof. All it means is that I’m satisfied that the extreme nature of the God concept — and we’ve been discussing that earlier in this interview, why I think the God concept is so extreme — combined...
