    He's right!; they each believe they're right, even if wrong!

    As brother "Whaddo You Meme?" briefly shares, there's a meme going around which implies that everyone, on some level, thinks their religion (or worldview) is right and that those who disagree are wrong, or else they each wouldn't hold to the opinion or viewpoint that they do. And this applies...

    The Hiddenness Argument for Atheism

    J.L. Schellenberg is has lovingly made this argument, that has been around for decades, more accessible to the layperson and gives a good reason to reject theism. If a perfectly loving God exists, then there exists a God who is always open to a personal relationship with any finite person. If...

    Lutherans and apologetics

    I realized that Lutherans don't care much about apologetics as do Catholics and other Protestant groups. And why Lutherans don't care much about apologetic questions such as: "The Problem of Evil", "Existence of God ", "Origin of the Universe" and "The Resurrection of Christ." Doesn't...

    Greetings

    Hello Everyone, My alias name Wavecure means something to me. Back when the world-wide-web was made open to the public, I required a good alias name, but, one that resonates a positive connotation, to explain its meaning when asked. The use of an alias in turn from utilizing own...

    Pummeling Porphyry to Defend Daniel's "Evidence"?

    [WARNING: The following Apologetic OP summary is ... looooooooooong! So, if you're the type who'd rather just do less than the scholarly thing, then maybe read the paragraph in bold black below and watch the first video, and maybe (just maybe?) you'll be good to go, even if you won't catch me...

    Why would a benevolent god condone slavery?

    Overview The bible explicitly endorses two types of slavery....indentured servitude (for Hebrews) and chattel slavery (for non-Hebrews). With indentured servitude, a person voluntarily agreed to sell his labor to his master for a temporary period of time after which the servant would be granted...

    LDS "And It Came To Pass" 1,400-1,800+ times? (Fishy BOM linguistics strikes again)

    Hi all, I am currently making the trek through the Book of Mormon via the excellent (but quite sarcastic and blasphemous, so I won't link it) "My Book of Mormon Podcast" (which you can find by searching for that exact title on YouTube, if you're interested), which is actually quite a bit easier...

    Debunking Scientism - Tricks New Atheists Play (Part 6)

    Here we are treated to a clip from a 1998 debate between William Lane Craig and Peter Atkins. Atkins suggests that he has an evolutionary explanation for why humans beleive in God(s). He also says that science can explain everything so we don't have to look outside of science. What follows is...

    Getting spiritually Screwtaped Over – by C.S. Lewis

    Below you'll find a fun and comical, yet brief, video representation of the 1st Letter from C.S. Lewis' book, The Screwtape Letters (… one of my favorite books!). Within the 1st letter of Lewis' playfully diabolical correspondence, we find two Demons who represent the possible ways--even if in...

    New here-Intro

    Pragmatic Argument for God's existense

    I've been re-formulating the argument for a while, but it goes: 1) There's no viable means around Agrippa's Trilemma as means to justify our justifications apart from three possible scenarios. We either: a) Go into regression of justifying the justifications b) Resort to...

    10 Things Christians Dislike About Athiests

    Hi all, this is more along the lines of 'entertainment' but I thought you might enjoy this video. I think we can perhaps do a lot better of a job communicating to atheists and so I've also done another video that is the vice versa to this one. God bless you fam!!

    I love Apologetics!

    Hi, I grew up as a Christian, but really became passionate about my faith when I discovered apologetics about two years ago. Since then, I have loved studying the Bible, learning apologetics and theology, and sharing my faith with everyone I can. I recently started a youtube video about...

    An Atheist's Critique of … some other current Atheists

    Hey Everyone- Here we have an atheist youtube blogger who goes by the handle, “Genetically Modified Skeptic.” In this short video, he delineates how he thinks some of his fellow atheists unneccessarily (and maybe unintentionally) legitimize a “correct” understanding of Christianity. So, do...

    The Worship Of The Canaanites
