#618 | Amy asks “How could Christianity have changed the ethics of society if it came from the ethics of society?” This exposes an ignorance of causal complexity. Didn’t mores emergent of Aztec society self-interact to evolve over time? Society has not influenced Christianity?
#548 | Why do many Christians find my agnosticism surprising in light of my very confident rejection of Christianity and its absurdities? Does finding mouse droppings in your cupboard make Mickey Mouse more probable? @CapturingChrist @RFupdates @amy_k_hall @gregkoukl
While I might give some credence to your claim you have a lump of gold in your pocket, if you then try claiming you have a spherical cube of gold in your pocket, don’t be surprised at my dogmatic and unequivocal rejection of your second claim.
#456 | If “truth is not ice cream“ as Greg Koukl states, then why do so many apologists ground Christianity by suggesting there is “no hope” anywhere else? Does the emotional trauma of imagining a world with no ice cream oblige the universe to provide ice cream? Does yearning for hope require hope?
#446 | If evil is simply the absence of goodness as is commonly claimed on STR, how can Jesus have “developed in goodness” as Greg Koukl claims he did without first possessing evil?
#439 | I’ve had Christians claim that, unless I can “prove” the disciples were lying or deluded, I am under epistemic obligation to believe in the resurrection. Is this belief common? Is this a good reflection of Christian epistemology today? Is not its absurdity not apparent?
#325 | What alternative story of God’s dealings with humans could ever be identified as logically incoherent given that the entire logical space of possible stories is encompassed by biblical claims of God’s “infinite”, love, wrath, mercy, patience, and justice?
#257 | Attempts to reconcile infinite anguish for finite sins is fraught with innumeracy. And claiming some “infinite” in Jesus’s death is absurd when 4 days dead would clearly render 3 days sub-infinite. Have Christians a rigorous, coherent formulation of the relevant dynamics?
