Well, here it is. My 666th entry at the Home of the Little-Known Blogger. Since religion is far-and-away my most popular topic, I decided that I might as well make a post about the Devil. Of course, since this isn’t really a topic I take seriously, I wasn’t looking forward to putting in the effort …

The Word of God
One of the most common, and most vehement, arguments in which I find myself with other people who call themselves “Christian” regards the Bible as the “Word of God”. This post will demonstrate why that belief is both untrue and unjustified. Although I am an Aramaic primacist, as much as possible I shall use Greek …
The Issue of Biblical Literacy
Well. Here’s a post that EVERYONE will hate. 🙂 So, as we have previously established, the Liturgical Churches (namely, the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican Communions) all agree that the Bible is a manual for spiritual growth, and not to be used as a textbook of science or history. The Evangelical Churches, on the other …
Why God is Not Proved. And Why That’s Right.
Physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace is best known, among post-modern atheists, for a quote from a conversation with Napoleon Bonaparte. When Napoleon asked how he had composed an entire book on physical operations without a single reference to God, Laplace replied, “I had no need of that hypothesis.” Except, of course, that that is not at all …

Religious Freedom, Homosexuality, and Bigotry
So, opponents of Kansas’ RFRA law say that it opens the door for private citizens to sue any government agency for NOT discriminating against people based on “sexual orientation”. Hm. First, that’s not a good use of the word “discrimination”. I’m sure it’s in the dictionary that way now, but what you really mean is …

Questions About my Religious Development
An old friend from high school and college just asked me some rather deep question about my religious experience and beliefs. I thought that they were interesting enough to share, both the questions and my answers. For reference, I was raised in an Evangelical Church (Presbyterian); became an atheist when I went to college; began …
Upcoming Posts
I’ve been in an interesting discussion of religion on Twitter today. Since I was already planning a post on “Superstition, Mythology, Faith and Religion”, I’ve also queued up a post on “Religion and Violence”. Another upcoming topic will be an analysis of (or probably, rebuttal to) Wodarz and Komarova’s “Dependence of the Firearm-Related Homicide Rate …
“It Doesn’t Affect You.”
This was the refrain I constantly heard during the lead-up to the SCOTUS’s decision to undermine the bedrock of human civilization (marriage) for the convenience of sexual deviants (“deviant” is not a moral condemnation; it’s a statistical, biological and psychological fact). “Why do you care? It doesn’t affect you!” (The assumption by everyone who disagreed …
The Heritage Foundation on Marriage
I wish that I had found this sooner, but it remains relevant. Here is a brief pamphlet by the Heritage Foundation on what a marriage actually is, and why it is important: Click to access Marriage_E-Book_Download.pdf
The Marriage Agenda and Fear
So, now apparently the idea is to post pictures on the Facebook accounts of anyone who supports REAL marriage, accusing them of being “afraid”. Never mind the big post I made yesterday explaining my position; ignore it, I can only be objecting out of “fear” (a la Michael Moore’s ‘Bowling for Columbine’). A variation of …
