One of the arguments Atheists try to make against the existence of God is their seeming lack of experience with anything we might call “Supernatural.” God is not a man with a physical body who takes up a certain amount of space or displaces a certain volume of water when submerged. God is immaterial- but is that different from saying “imaginary?”
Or is there something else which we know to exist which is also immaterial? Continue reading
In Cinderella, the Fairy God Mother turns a pumpkin into a coach, which is driven by six white horses who used to be mice. Or maybe they are mice who self identify as horses? I forget how it all goes down, but that it besides the point.
The point is, we consider it a great feat of magic that a Pumpkin can be turned into a coach. But is that the greatest act of pumpkin related magic? I suggest that it is not.
Not for ATHEISM! Continue reading
When I was a kid, the universe was said to be made of time, Space, Matter, and Energy. That’s still essentially true, only now Big Bang cosmologists are claiming that 95% of the “matter” is actually “DARK MATTER. It’s KIND OF like matter, only its invisible and in every way undetectable. Like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
To stop being fooled, please see the Answering Atheism Playlist
or go to The A Bit of Orange Academy and learn a few of the MANY solid proofs for the existence of the one True God.
and remember, #JesusLovesYou
Why does God exist? What is HIS cause? A good question and worthy of an answer! On the surface, it seems to be the case that Christians are saying,
“The Big Bang can’t be true because nothing can be uncaused!
…Except God.”
But if the Big Bang HAD a cause, what caused the cause? And what caused that cause? You wind up in an infinite regress which is no better than an infinite past with no beginning, both of which leave you unable to account for existence at all! After all, if an infinite number of causes (or days) had to pass before today occurred, we would never have reached today because you cannot pass an infinite number of anything one at a time.
Obviously not through an uncaused explosion. God must have done it! But where did God come from? Was he made by a bigger God?
As I have conversations with various self identifying Atheists around the internet, I have managed to find more than one who, in some attempt to make me question what I think I know, assured me I could not prove that I was not dreaming RIGHT NOW.
“You can’t be CERTAIN that God exists! You can’t even be certain you’re awake and not dreaming right now!”
This is one of those bite sized pieces of philosophy which is passed off as “deep” or “heavy,” but is in fact a sign that “something is wrong with people”. Continue reading
If God does not exist then there is no transcendent source for a universal moral law. There is time, space, matter, and energy, and blind, pitiless indifference.
The moon is damaged. It cannot be repaired. The crater will remain forever. Is that evil? Nah. It’s just rocks hitting rocks.
Consider a self driving car driving into another self driving car at at 80 miles per hour. They are smashed into tiny pieces. They cannot be repaired. They are gone forever. Is that evil? Nah, that’s just a machine colliding with another machine. Expensive, but not evil. Continue reading
As a parent you are responsible for the well being and happiness, health and welfare of your child. You have to feed and clothe them, teach them to be good people, and take them to school. These little lives, made in your image, depend on you to help them, hold them, shape them and mold them.
Frankly, it’s a real drag and it cuts into the time you could spend chasing college girls or getting drunk. This is why our culture has started to move away from it all. No longer a Christian nation, we now have alternatives. Options! More choices than the Christian west used to offer to the average man or woman.

What do we REALLY mean when we call an action “Mass Murder”? First of all, how many does it take to be MASS? Because, I don’t mean to be insensitive here, but does the slaughter of a few dozen people being run over by a truck driven by a Muslim REALLY count as MASS Murder? I mean, murder, certainly, but, MASS?
Because when I think of MASS, I am thinking of weapons of mass destruction. Like NUKES. And those babies can kill more than a few dozen people at a crack. I just think we need to designate a standardized minimum casualties if we are going to call an event “MASS murder.” Continue reading
William McGonagall was arrested for murdering Patrick Kavanagh on March 3, 2011. He shot Kavanagh in broad daylight, at a cafe` in Brooklyn when a fight erupted about the check, following a fight over reviews the men had received in the New York Times for their writing. Both of which were very bad.
McGonagall is known as a staunch atheist, and it came to be that he stood trial before a judge who was also an atheist. On learning this, he devised what is now known as the McGonagall defense. Rumor has it that it was a bit of a surprise to his lawyer.
After the opening statement by the prosecution, McGonagall asked to approach the bench. “Your honor,” he said, “you and I are both men of science, not fettered by the constraints and definitions of religious tradition.”
The judge agreed. He had already allowed McGonagall to proceed without swearing to tell the truth with his hand on the Bible, but rather with his hand on his own heart.
“And as such it would be unjust to conduct this trial as though we were men of religion. It would be unjust and unwise for us to lay a foundation of Christian dogma to determine my fate, but rather we should lay a foundation of science and reason to proceed with this trial, should we not?”
The judge agreed. Continue reading
