Stormbringer's Thunder

It appears that David Silverman of the American Atheists is getting bent out of shape regarding the Genesis 3D  movie. According to The Christian Examiner , he said, "As we have seen in nearly every religion in world history, indoctrinated victims of religion will do anything, including pay large sums of money, to have their antiquated beliefs of immortality validated." What's wrong with doing a fundraiser for a project someone believes in ? Anyway, with his silly rant, I would have dismissed him and moved on. After all, it's absurd to claim that you are celebrating "reason" when using question-begging epithets, prejudicial conjecture, fallacious assertions and simple bigotry. Next!  But wait. Jason Petersen of "Answers for Hope" likes to get into the philosophy aspects of Silverman's remarks. In fact, he is offering him a chance to discuss his atheistic worldview. As most of you know, I, as well as Answers for Hope, have throw...

Bill "I Play A Scientist On TV" Nye used to be moderately interesting when he did his "Science Guy" children's television show and worked on experimental science. Now he has become a poster boy for anti-creationists. I am unimpressed with his antics because not only should he know better than to spew angry falsehoods, but he is simply a celebrity version of the furious atheists that pa-TROLL the media and Internet. Some of us stand up to these bullying tactics and refuse to be intimidated. Although Nye is not guilty of every childish antic that I have had the misfortune of encountering, he does use several of these juvenile tricks: Demonizing.  I still cannot figure out what atheopaths have to gain by   attacking the person instead of dealing with the topic at hand. (Norman the Paranoid Troll lives for this, but cannot back up his assertions — typical of that ilk.) The ad hominem  fallacy is often the first line of attack for Darwin's Cheerleaders ...

"I know he has been subjected to utterly ridiculous bans and deletions on that obviously biased social interaction site. If Facebook keeps up the liberal censorship and arbitrary punishment of conservatives and creationists, it could lose the market share. It is only a matter of time before another site would step up to take their place. Remember, it didn't take long for FB to make Myspace obsolete." — Radar , in reference to this writer I have two aspects that I want to discuss here. First, overall Internet safety guidelines and Facebook. Second, Facebook's blatant discrimination and bullying against political Conservatives , conservative Christians, and biblical creationists. Facebook has changed over the years. Along with other social media, they grab the rights to use your photos . But the rules change frequently, so that could be outdated and modified already. One problem is that Facebook requires people to use their real names and information. The reaso...

Too many modern atheists and pretend agnostics are more intent on ridiculing Christians (especially creationists) than in simply going on about their business. It's been rightly observed , though, that if an atheist sees a gang of young men coming toward him, s/he will breathe easier if they're carrying Bibles. Screen shots are "Fair Use" for educational purposes. Also, Twitter's "Tweets" are public . To display their intellectual prowess, some want to engage in "debates". I said "debates" because they do not like structured, moderated debates, but prefer a free-for-all where changing the subject, bad logic and abuse are their modus operandi.  I have noticed that, with the exception of Internet public debate forums, when Christians are doing their own thing, atheists jump in and start raising a fuss. (Sometimes, they even pretend to be Christians in order to infiltrate groups set up specifically for Christians.) When they gi...

A recent article by an atheist is getting some attention. He does not appreciate the actions of his brethren. I'll come back to this later. Several times in the past, I have documented my experiences and observations, and those of others, regarding militant atheists. Interestingly, they play the victim by saying that Christians persecute atheists! That is the opposite of the truth 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . Christians are defenders of the rights of people to believe (and disbelieve) without coercion to convert. When I inquired of others about the "old days" of my experience, when most atheists were "live and let live", with an attitude of, "I do not believe, you do, we can discuss it or not, whatever", some people say that they are like Muslims: Nice at first, but when they gain power, watch out. And don't you dare question evolution ! There were not many atheopaths in my experience in the early 1970s, but I remember Scott. He was a pseudo-intell...

“What's to prevent us from saying Hitler wasn't right? I mean, that is a genuinely difficult question.”  —Richard Dawkins Sounds just like many modern atheists today. This quote is from Table Talk. For some reason, many atheists want to "give" Adolph Hitler to Christianity. "Hitler was a Christian!", they gloat. But that is the opposite of the truth. "He said he was a Christian, Cowboy Bob!" Ummm...yeah. How often do you believe politicians, especially those that have murdered millions of people and were obvious maniacs? Get that? He was a politician, striving for power. Also, who was Jesus to him, what was God, what was Christianity to him? The same problem exists with many atheists today — they redefine the terms to suit their own ends. I have some ideas on why Christophobes try to pretend that Hitler was a Christian. First, to make the atrocities of the greatest mass murderers of history, the atheists Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Pol P...

One of my favorite topics is logical fallacies. Many atheists and evolutionists love to attack Christians and creationists, claiming that they believe in "reason". They demonstrate that they do not understand even rudimentary logic, and it turns out that Christians use logic better than their attackers! And why not? The laws of logic come from God . Since the atheistic worldview is fundamentally flawed, irrational and self-refuting , when an atheist and/or evolutionist uses logic, he or she is tacitly admitting that his or her worldview does not work, and has to borrow from the biblical creationist's worldview! Plato and Aristotle doing philosophy and logic stuff. Even when we show atheists that they are being illogical, it must be in the Atheist Code© to never admit that a Christian is correct over something of consequence. Instead, they increase their attacks. Many times, in very sneaky ways. The atheist worldview is one that revolves around denial of the sel...
