Betcha It’s A Gotcha

I’m working on a page for this blog that will explain my “checkouts” when it comes to arguing with theists. As I’ve doubtless outlined ad nauseam here and there, if I can boil an argument down to “I don’t know, therefore God” or “What if you’re wrong?” then I don’t owe that person a minute…

Jealous Fish: Preview

Let's wait and see where this goes: To address the last part very quickly, fish have two sets of gills, one on either side. This is bilateral symmetry, and it persists as an evolutionary development among many organisms (some have radial symmetry, including starfish). If the fish is going to develop lungs, it'll develop them…

ICDTAD: Karlonije and the Great Burden

This happened on Threads back in February and I kind of forgot about it. I happened upon this draft while organizing my notes. Karlonije, who has recently changed his name to a long string of nonsense characters I'm not going to so much as bother copy-pasting, had this to say to atheists: Things atheists still…

Confuseness Say… ICDTAD

It started simply enough: We as Christians are called to love people, not the beliefs leading them astray My response was equally simple enough: People like you do more to affirm my atheism than to convince me it was wrong to leave Christianity. Along comes Pax Hispanica: Maybe because youre on threads where most fucking…

Put A Pin In That

Note: I'm not going to use my typical block quote structure because this person got exceptionally long-winded and the large print block quotes would just get tedious, and this person sure is tedious. While browsing Pinterest, I came across a post about Star Wars. It's been deleted now, so I can't remember what it was,…

Secular Nation, Christian Population

It started with some yahoo on Threads getting body-slammed in his own comments and even receiving a community note to further drive the point home. Before we carry on with the ensuing doubling-down by a Christian Nationalist, it's important to note that when the Founding Fathers were putting together the Constitution, the extent of their…

Ungodly Behavior: A Quora Meditation

This was originally an answer to a Quora question. I didn't realize until I finished that the question came from a bot known as the Quora Creator Tools. This isn't really an issue; a fair question is a fair question whether it was from a person or an algorithm. Besides, as I've said before, the…

United in (Un)Belief/Divided in (Dis)Belief

One of my favorite stratagems in any discussion, especially religion and conspiracies, is getting two or more people on the side that opposes my stance to directly engage with each other, letting their own differences eventually lead to an animosity. Before long, they’re at each other’s throats while I’m munching away on some popcorn.  Dance,…

Kalam’s Desire

Threads user dg_liammm said, word for word, something I'd heard once before but have yet to address in an entry, this idea that God couldn't possibly be man-made because it goes against man's desires. Ironically, God seems to fit perfectly with man's desire for control. He doesn't want to be a product of something impersonal…
