‘Twas the church before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the church,
The faithful were gathering,
And praying in search,
Of some mystical moment,
Remembering the birth…

God of the gaps

He no longer makes lightning, volcanos or trees,
No divine visitations bring us to our knees!

He’s the God of the gaps,

And that’s all you can say.

As His hiding places shrink,

He will soon go away!

What Christian morality?

Your moral compass points right back to the bronze age!

There is no such thing as Christian morality in any meaningful sense. Rather there’s a list of ancient rules, many of which make no sense at all in the modern world.

Real abuse from the God of Abraham

God is not a good role model

There is no more abusive character than the Abrahamic God than in the whole of fiction.

Come out of the closet!

3 types of clergy

How would you describe your priest, pastor or worship leader? Are they actually fit to lead?

Speaking as an atheist I believe that it is possible to divide clergy into three groups. There are the gullible, the deceitful and those who are both gullible and deceitful.

No true Christian…

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other.

There’s no hate like Christian love, especially when they direct it at each other. The ‘No true Christian’ fallacy is just as bad as the eponymous ‘No true Scotsman’, except that it is even less rational and even more vicious.

Sending ourselves to Hell

Christians often claim that God doesn’t send anyone to Hell… we send ourselves!

Whenever we mention the injustice of infinite punishment for finite crimes, especially when the supposed ‘crime’ is simply not being convinced, it’s common for Christians to claim that God doesn’t send anyone to Hell… we send ourselves! This demonstrates one of two possibilities…

1. The Christian in question hasn’t read their Bible (an odd state of affairs given that they think it’s the inspired word of God).

2. The Christian in question is a liar!

Of course – it’s not uncommon for both these possibilities to apply equally.

If you were God for a day

If you were God for a day what would you do?

If you were God for a day what would you do?

How would you use all that power?

How would you fill those 24 hours?

Punishing raped women

In what context could stoning a raped woman to death ever be justified?

In the Bible, Jesus tells us that God’s law shall never pass away until Heaven and earth are no more (Luke 16:17/Matthew 5:18). The Old Testament book of Deuteronomy literally translates as ‘the law repeated’. This law, the law of the old testament as written in the Hebrew bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) is the only law that Jesus, a Jew would, could have been talking about. And so it is to Deuteronomy that we turn when asking how to deal with rape victims.
