They always have the same old recycled arguments…

Every now and again a post from this blog gets featured on some atheist site. Atheists respond with a flurry of diatribe, then scurry away, back to their holes, never to be heard from again—until the next posting that rouses their ire.
I laughed and shook my head when I read the following kind and sensitive [...]

Tom Cruise was asked, “What drew you to Scientology? Did you grow up in a faith?”
He answered, “Different faiths. Different faiths. And what drew me to it (Scientology)—it was so practical and it just made sense to me, and things that I wanted to figure out in my life…”
Cruise has described Scientology as “an [...]

This comes from an article in Parade magazine, October 2, 2007.
By the time he entered college, Pitt had scuttled his fundamentalist beliefs.
“When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self,” he says. “I had faith that I’m capable enough to [...]

ON THE ISSUE OF ORIGINS, YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…

31. You ignore “Time Magazine’s” poll, which states that only 28% of Americans believe in evolution. But of course, “Time Magazine” must be been run by creationists.

On with the celebration of Atheist’s week… which started on Tuesday, April 1, of course. Here’s an unbelievable article from Time:

On Sunday mornings, most parents who don’t believe in the Christian God, or any god at all, are probably making brunch or cheering at their kids’ soccer game, or running errands or, with luck, sleeping in. Without religion, there’s [...]

ON THE ISSUE OF ORIGINS, YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…

26. When you’re shown that your view of origins is silly, you can only respond, “Well…at least it’s better than believing in some invisible SKY DADDY!”
27. You insist that science is completely partial to all ideas, is not [...]

We are dedicating this week to all the fools who suppress the knowledge of the obvious! Below, let’s take another look at the Pope of Atheism, Richard Dawkins, and what he thinks about God.

Nearly every week I post comments, videos, or quotes from notable (and not so notable) atheists. Why? I want you to know how far people will go to deny their Creator, probably more so at this time in history than ever before.
The book of Romans says that because “they neither glorified Him as God nor [...]

“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.”
“In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going [...]

ON THE ISSUE OF ORIGINS, YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…

21. You think that humans are products of chance but when it comes to human reason we can believe in logic! (Think about it!)
22. You have recently stuck a Darwin fish on your car in the hopes the people with the Jesus fish [...]

ON THE ISSUE OF ORIGINS, YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…

16. You believe that planes, computers, calculators, compasses, etc, were “all obviously designed,” yet the human body, being intricately more complex was “obviously a product of biological evolution.” It seems the more complex the apparatus, the more obvious the “fact” that it was not [...]

The next installment will be next Wednesday. Scroll to the bottom to catch up on the previous ten.

ON THE EXISTENCE OF GOD, YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…
11. You insist that “the burden of proof is on he that alleges/accuses”, and “it’s impossible to prove a negative”, then state “That’s what Christians do. They [...]

Here are #6 thru #10. Five more will be posted next Wednesday. Click here for the first five.

YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY ATHEIST IF…
6. You think questions like, “Can God create a rock so big that He cannot lift it?” and, “Can God will Himself out of existence?” are perfect examples of how to disprove [...]

Atheists love to level the “Fundamentalist” label derisively at those who take God at His Word in the Bible. BUT, did you know that atheists themselves subscribe to a fundamentalist philosophy of their own? Here are the first five fundamental truths that atheists believe and live… the next five will be next Wednesday! 

YOU MIGHT BE A FUNDY [...]

“I don’t believe in Heaven and Hell. I don’t know if I believe in God.”
“All I know is that as an individual, I won’t allow this life—the only thing I know to exist—to be wasted.”” —In a September 28, 1997 special article to the Washington Post titled ‘George Clooney, Uncowled’, writer Sharon Waxman got [...]

Atheist evangelists. Why? Can you think of anything more ridiculous than grown men standing around with signs proclaiming that God doesn’t exist?
If He doesn’t exist, why even mention it? This sounds like something that would go over really well at a keg party, with half-snockered frat boys giving wedgies while inhaling from beer-bongs. Nope. These guys were middle-aged [...]

My daughter D.D. and I visited Ray Comfort and his team on Saturday down at the Huntington Beach Pier where we encountered a bunch of evangelistic atheists.
One rather caustic man, Frank, challenged my daughter after I asked her this question in front of him: “D.D., is there a God?”
D.D. replied matter-of-factly, “Yes!”
With a smile, [...]

I can’t be entirely sure… but I think the following comments are from the KISS guy whom I interviewed a year ago on Hollywood Blvd..
You see, I met him again last December (and interviewed him again), and told him that his video interview is very popular on GodTube and YouTube. On GodTube alone, it’s been [...]

I’m amazed at the controversy that my interview with the KISS guy started on GodTube.
It’s divided between those “Christians” who don’t have a clue what I’m doing as I take him through the 10 Commandments, Judgment Day and Hell; and on the other side are those who are proponents of Way of the Master. [...]

“My mom is the best person I know…. For better or worse my parents have pounded it into my head when I was little and growing up that being a good citizen and being an active participant in our democracy is part of being a good person.” —Chelsea Clinton on why her mom should be [...]

I love to occasionally check in and read Ray Comfort’s blog, Comfort Food. One story was particularly intriguing, maybe you’ve already read it: Ray and his manager had dinner with forty atheists—and the outcome was quite surprising. He wrote a great account of what happened here.
As amazing as that was, I read another version of [...]

Every now and then an atheist website will call attention to my humble little blog and then all Hell breaks loose. I mean that literally. All the minions who are destined for perdition (should they remain in their lost condition), take potshots at some of my articles.

Here are some samples:
Concerning the quote about my daughter in the [...]

In a recent interview, the first fitness guru—now in his 90’s—said this:
“Billy Graham is all about the hereafter. I am about the here and now.”
—From the Costco Connection, January, 2008

Last week, “Famous Lost Words” featured Joel Osteen giving his take on Mitt Romney and Mormonism saying that he thinks he’s a Christian and that he would vote for him. Here’s a one minute video of him actually saying this foolish statement—and more!

“…no Book of Morman cities have ever been located, no Book of Morman [...]

Two days before Christmas, the best-selling author and pastor of the largest church in America made an appearance on Fox News Sunday with host Chris Wallace, where he was asked about the role of religion in politics. More specifically, Osteen was asked about the Mormon faith, and whether a Mormon could be classified as “a [...]

Just what are the intentions of writer Phillip Pullman concerning his books “His Dark Materials” upon which the film, “The Golden Compass” is based?
“I’ve been surprised by how little criticism I’ve got. Harry Potter’s been taking all the flak. I’m a great fan of J.K. Rowling, but the people - mainly from America’s Bible [...]

The Badger Herald reports that the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation posted a sign in the Wisconsin state Capitol this week to remind residents that they live in a diverse country.
The sign is located in the same vicinity as the Wisconsin State Capitol Holiday Tree and menorah and reads, “At this season of the Winter [...]

In a battle, it’s always a good idea to know the enemy’s tactics. A good soldier should know what propaganda the other side puts out, how they are thinking, what are their plans. Here are a few sites from the dark side, that will help you to understand how fools “think.” If I’ve missed any, let [...]

Can you believe it? There is a website that is “an international group of concerned freethinkers who are dedicated to exposing the hypocrisies, logical fallacies, and outright lies employed by “Way of the Master” and its affiliated ministries.”
Pretty darn silly, er, foolish.
‘Nuff said.
