Do atheists have ulterior motives for not believing in God?
A critique of I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST, p. 42-43.
When last we left our heroes (I mean authors Geisler and Turek, not Joe and me… lest there be any confusion), we had just been introduced to their patented Road Runner Tactic.
And now to the meat.
With Chapters 1 and 2, Messrs. Geisler & Turek seek to prove, as you might expect, the first two points of their case for the Bible. These points are:
Truth about reality is knowable. .2 The opposite of true is false.
I’d divide their first …

This is the beginning of that series.
I changed my mind …
There’s only one possible debate between a skeptic of the Bible and a Christian apologist I would care to hear more than Dr. Robert M. Price vs. Dr. William Craig Lane: a debate between the aforementioned Dr. Lane and Dr. Jeremy Beahan (unfortunately not yet the recipient of a Wikipedia page) of the always-excellent Reasonable …
I need a new religion.
Or a philosophy – I’d be OK with that, too. I’m not limiting myself to theist solutions. Any and all world views may apply.

So I’m poking around the internet for a directory of given names for Midianites or Amalekites and I find this – a step-by-step, program-assisted guide to creating whatever Canaanite name you want.
