Gary Bauer displays a hilarious sense of grievance in his article “If Christians Were Treated Like Muslims”. I want to take a few posts to fully dissect all of its self-absorbed, phony, distorted victimhood. The first three sentences merited a full post themselves, so here we go. Bauer starts out with the following falsehood: Few [...]

October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke The very last line made me laugh out loud. Notice that this is not just any ignorant Christian being embarrassed here by a comedian, but an Archbishop. If that does not demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of Christianity (or at least of biblical literalists) in 3 minutes flat, I don’t know what does. Your Thoughts?
True Religion?
August 17th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Many a religious person defending her own religious beliefs will argue that a given politically, morally, or intellectually unflattering interpretation of her faith is simply not a true representation of her faith. While the question of who has the right or the adequate means to decisively determine with any rational clarity which competing interpretation of any [...]

July 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke In reply to this video on various immoral things outright commanded in what is supposed to be God’s law in the Old Testament, Loyal writes: Militaristic non-Christians often seize upon the many difficult passages where God is condoning morally repugnant acts. I am glad you admit that they are morally repugnant acts and neither morally [...]

July 10th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Okay, I couldn’t post that video in which a Christian singer unironically sings “I am America” without balancing it out with a little of Stephen Colbert deliciously ironic, I Am America (And So Can You!). In this clip he all too depressingly accurately apes homophobic logic: Your Thoughts?

July 8th, 2010 Daniel Fincke If so, the new Jack Chick tract on the end times will really hit the spot! (If you’ve ever just wondered what it would be like if Glenn Beck wrote a Jack Chick tract, this seems the closest approximation.) H/T: Secular Outpost. Your Thoughts?
30 Preposterous Things You Need To Believe To Be A Christian
July 7th, 2010 Daniel Fincke John W. Loftus, the former minister turned atheist, author of Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity, and the primary blogger at Debunking Christianity (whose updates you can follow daily in our blogroll feed) has a terrific summation of 30 extraordinarily unlikely ideas, at least most of which most Christians would have to [...]
Robert Price Pwns William Lane Craig On The Morality And Historicity Of The Canaanite Genocides In The Bible
July 6th, 2010 Daniel Fincke The depravity of William Lane Craig’s apologetics on behalf of the genocides goes lower than I had ever imagined before and Robert Price just decimates him, from a moral and highly illuminating historical perspective, in audio which you can hear at The Buddha Is Not Serious. Your Thoughts?

June 23rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke Jerry Coyne explains why the proposed idea of a single pair of original human ancestors is refuted by what we know of our evolutionary ancestry: Over at the Templeton-funded BioLogos website there has been a lot of discussion about the historicity of Adam and Eve. This is a problem because scripture claims these two were [...]

June 14th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Pride has traditionally been disparaged by Christianity as not only a vice but as the chief vice and gone so far as to recommend humility as one of the highest virtues for a human being. The theological reasons for this begin with the way that traditional Christianity understands human beings primarily relationally, as in an [...]

June 14th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Yesterday I replied to Mary Midgley’s article out this weekend, which claimed that evolutionary theory does not refute Genesis since Genesis was not meant to be a literal description of how God made the world. In reply I revisted remarks and videos that I posted last fall which overviewed the ways that even if we [...]
How Genesis Is Not Only Literally False, But Metaphorically False
June 12th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Mary Midgley argues that only the views of fundamentalist literalists are refuted by the fact of evolution: Appeals to evolution are only damaging to biblical literalism. Certainly the events described inGenesis 1 are not literally compatible with what science (from long before Darwin’s day) tells us about the antiquity of the Earth. But this is not [...]

Biblical Scientific Inaccuracy
May 23rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke Some of these biblical scientific inaccuracies are really eye opening, not merely things which can be chalked up to “metaphors” but portions of the text which plainly mean to be taken literally which are absurdly wrong. Oh, and the opening is hilarious: Thanks to Victoria for the great find! Your Thoughts?
