God is killing birds in Arkansas because of the U.S. repeal of DADT.
I will preface this by saying that I've read most of this guys blog and he makes many, many good points. He says he is all about rationality, scientific thinking and skepticism and there is evidence all over his blog that points to just that. I fact, I've had a few e-mail conversations with...
To any believers in an all-powerful God, I have a question for you. It may seem stupid at first, but it is a serious question, and I'm interested in seeing serious responses to this question. Here goes...
If an all-powerful God exists, could God make a rock so heavy that He couldn't lift it...
I just ran across this little gem explaining the history of the Hebrew god.

A lot of this I already knew, but a few bits were new to me. In particular, knowing that Yahweh was originally the Hebrew god of war makes so many of the passages about him in the Bible make far more sense.
Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson drops game-winning TD pass in OT then talks about it on Twitter.

An interesting article at the NY Times http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/morals-without-god/
Here are some quotes that may spark interest
To me one of the most obvious things in the Bible that shows humans have made it up is the idea that God had to rest after finishing the job of creating everything. Only human beings could have thought of giving God a resting period (how very altruistic of them). Why would an omnipotent and...
This was sent to me by someone on another list as something to convince me that God exists. It did not. :(

Does it convince anyone here?

My next, and I promise the last, in my series of Theism's best case. Again, this is from Blackwell's Companion to Natural Theology and it is called the "Argument from Consciousness", by JP Moreland.
For some reason I had expected to be more challenged by this argument. There are a lot of...
Previously I introduced a thread about the Gale-Pruss Ontological argument. This is one of the arguments that is regarded as Theism's best case. Another such is Robert Maydole's "Modal Perfection" argument. It is presented in the "Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology", however I found in...
The UK BBC4 channel has what looks like an interesting programme tonight:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tw1tl
I'll be recording it. It doesn't seem to be available via the Web, unfortunately.
I just finished watching this debate between William Lane Craig and Shelly Kagan on the topic "Is God Necessary for Morality?" I have seen a lot of debates with Craig and I think this is probably the only debate where his opponent outperformed him.
Kagan does this by arguing that objective...
I thought that maybe God needs a better champion than Yrreg.
This argument does not seem to have been discussed here before, so I thought I would run it up the flagpole

and see what people made of it.

See how good you are compared to God's standard.

The subject of this thread is whether the DNA molecules, in a living cell, function as a Code....in the same way that the Binary Code in a computer functions....(or any code, for that matter)....carrying intelligently encoded information....or, if DNA functions purely as a simple...
"I think I'm starting to understand it now. Maybe, just maybe, it's a concept that's similar to a zero in mathematics. In other words, it's a symbol that denies the absence of meaning, the meaning that's necessitated by the delineation of one system from another. In analog, that's God. In...
I got an email from a colleague who said that Harper Magazine's July issue Harper's Index stated the following:
Has anyone seen anything more specific on this?
When I read a description of Christianity, it is often described as being Monotheistic. Is this really the case?
Unless I misunderstand, it seems that God is not the only "deity" that exists within the Christian belief system. There is also Satan, as well as various angles and demons. A number...
I believe it so... The Native american Believed in a great Spirit... the respected the earth.. The respected animals they ate... The Bablyon System have nothing but skeptism for spirituality... Bravado,, exalted human vanity... raping and pillaging the land... ,,,, whether you like it or not...
After reading Warren's The Purpose Driven Life, I came across this bit on page 43:
"One day you will stand before God, and he will do an audit of your life...before you enter eternity."
Next paragraph.
"First, 'What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ?' God won't ask you about your religious...
In his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, Julian Jaynes introduces his controversial theory of Bicameralism, which basically says the brain of early man functioned as two distinct halves - where one side would hallucinate auditory instruction, and the other...
Seems like all the biblical scholars and skeptics are studying this and their approach is from the investigators point of view and from a historical view, from a district attorneys, point of view or a court of law point of view and the man who put this together is a journalist and was a...
This is a question that occurred to me while catching up on the "Love the Christian" thread. God hates sex. You can't have sex unless you are married - it's a sin. You can't have homosexual sex - it's a sin. You can't use birth control - it's a sin. You can't show bare skin in public - it's a...
Ok. I don't start many threads here because there is just so much stuff that has already been discussed. This is particularly true of religion and threads discussing the existence or nature of God.
I would be interested in seeing responses to this question from both believers and...
I am always looking for Christian debate websites and other such things to learn more about why people believe in Christianity in the first place. I was suddenly struck by a website which looked interesting so I looked on it. I was looking through the threads when I find this...
I believe that the concept of God is obsolete by at least 1000 years. When people did not have the proper technology, it was essential to create myths about the origin of the universe, the Earth, and life in general. We know factually now, through science, that the universe began at a definite...
