#631 | When I hear Christians say they are “lucky”, I don’t then claim they no longer believe in God’s sovereignty. Yet Greg claims when nonbelievers refer to “Mother Nature”, they reveal they believe in a God. Is this clear misrepresentation one reason youth abandon faith?
#621 | Christians have oddly positioned atheism, the ideology a fraction of non-believers, antithetical to Christianity. But these same Christians shrug off the stronger arguments against Christianity offered by agnostics. Why this odd focus on atheism? https://t.co/f8BYPBOR9O
#578 | 80% of Christian apologists’ arguments today argue only for deism, not theism. 80% of my own arguments oppose only Christianity. Yet Christian apologists ignore me, tear into legitimate flaws in hard atheism, then walk away pretending they have defended Christianity. Make any sense?
#573 | There is an odd trend for apologists to “play the role” of non-believers when training their young people to respond to objections. Few responses I’ve heard from apologists in these roles would be my response. Why stoop to role-playing given the many authentic non-believers?
#387 | Apologists thoughout history seized the unexplained, and inserted their God as the explanation. In contrast, apologists now cite the burgeoning naturalistic explanations as evidence of the amazing forethought of their God. Is there anything possible within this logical space that would count against God? Why does it appear that unfalsifiability is a major goal of Christian apologetics?
#069 | What is the current apologetics response to why the omnipresent God in the room with us does manifest? A) Spirits can’t manifest. B) You wouldn’t believe even if he shook your hand and identified your inner thoughts. C) It would somehow take away your free will.
#062 | Why, when I question the coherency of an allegedly loving God acting in ways we would unequivocally call unloving were a human the actor, do apologists think I’m referencing the Problem of Evil? An unloving loving God is a logical absurdity, not a moral problem, right?
#054 | Do not the common stipulations and hedges added to “I can do all things through Christ” reduce all the way down to the mundane what can be and has been accomplished by focused individuals who disbelieve the notion of a divine Jesus?
#052 | Isn’t the common apologetics assumption that an inference to the best explanation justifies a high degree of certainty faulty epistemology? Imagine a teacher with 30 students finding the cookies missing from a high shelf moving from that fact to blaming the tallest kid.
#003 | Why is Heaven marketed with the base allure of gold crowns and gold streets rather than the joys found in helping others? There are so many passages on our pleasure in celestial objects of beauty, but none on the emotional delights of helping others. Is this not odd?
