http://iamchristianiamanatheist.blogspot.kr/ : Morality does not prove the existence of a god

Thu, 27 Jun 2013 02:36:52 +0000

I consider the moral argument the worst apologetic argument. (Yes, I rank these.) There is just so much wrong with it. First, it is debatable whether morality is objective or subjective--personally I'd say specific moral codes may be applied objectively, but that's all. Second, if it is objective, God isn't needed to explain it. And third, if God was somehow needed it makes morality arbitrary to the whim of God and therefore not objective--which negates the premise of the argument.

"Understanding can wait, obedience can't" opens the door to all kinds of default fascism. I really hate that tweet in particular. My recent post Inconsistent Foundations

Hausdorff Bible Blog : Memes of The Week

Sun, 9 Jun 2013 21:28:38 +0000

Good idea, memes bring me a lot of traffic. They are Twitter and even Reddit friendly too. Some deep cuts pulling from comments of other blogs. Did you ask permission to memeify these? (Not that I really think it's needed unless you start making money off them.) It doesn't hurt that you reference too of my favorite podcasts either. :-) My recent post Of Course I Care

They have a persecution complex inflating their own importance to a level in which the "conspiracy" they are outing not only cares about what they say but also strives to suppress it.

Hausdorff Bible Blog : Why Do We Keep Repeating Ourselves?

I kinda just want to link to stuff other people post rather than say it again. Maybe I should start my link round-ups again. I hate repeating myself. My recent post "Lack of Belief"

I'll be doing a round up of my interactions with Dr. Conway soon, I'll include this post. He's responding to my rebuttals on his blog. I knew he would get to it eventually. :-) My recent post Hot Mohammad on Christ Action

I wasn't really expecting something new. :-) I thought about doing this crosspost idea with other apologetic blogs if it went well...but even though I think it did go well, I'm not going to. Since the their arguments are one-trick ponies and taken down often by all of us, it seems redundant. My recent post Hot Mohammad on Christ Action

Nice one. Also, your signature is very reminiscent of a political cartoonist...I just can't remember which one. Maybe all of them. :-) I almost missed the boat of this. I started mine at 8:30 on the 20th. Not a whole lot of thought put in. My recent post Hot Mohammad on Christ Action

Hausdorff Bible Blog : Non-overlapping magisteria

"When religion tries to invade the domain of science" is really my sticking point. If someone completely abides by non-overlapping magisteria I might not have a problem with it, but most only abide by it when convenient or underestimate just how much science encompasses.

I tend not to say I'm atheist to mixed company because depending on their definitions, I could be atheist or agnostic. I just say "I don't believe in God." It's impossible to come up with a simple rewording for liberal or conservative because so many beliefs are bundled into those labels. How many of those beliefs must one have to take on the label? If the answer is "all" then I wouldn't say you're conservative. If the answer is just "most" then I suppose you are. I'd defend the meaning of atheist as I know it until it hits a critical mass of redefinition--in which case I'd let the new culture have the word and call myself something more colloquially accurate.
