I’m an atheist. That doesn’t make me your enemy. It just means I’m not convinced that your God is real. It’s a difference of opinion. That’s all there is to it. Please stop lying about me.
I tried again to understand Aaron Fauth’s views.
I had another attempt at understanding Aaron Fauth’s views on God, atheists, the universe and, of course ‘The source’.
My debate with a man who seems to be a cross between an animist and a deist.
About a week ago Aaron Fauth issued a challenge on Facebook
I was happy to accept the challenge, if only because I was intrigued by his complete misunderstanding of atheism and of atheists in general.
I invited him to join me in a discussion with the two basic conditions I always include:
This video is the result of our recent online conversation. What’s your opinion? Did Aaron live up to his challenge?
They voted to hurt others
Pouring hate upon their brothers
In Christ
That wasn’t nice

The God of Abraham’s not a shit,
He’s just a myth that doesn’t fit,
The modern world because we know
Too much.
I wondered how I could have been so blind
Genocide and slavery
Gaslighting and rape
All sanctioned, even ordered
By this God of perfect love
Arbitrary punishments
Capricious twists of fate
Hypocrisy, failed prophecy,
Sadism and hate!
The devaluing of woman
Only useful when they breed
A receptacle for callous
Selfish men to sew their seed
And I realised in trembling fear
Shredding many a heartfelt tear
That this hateful God was far from good
No one with integrity could
Support its vile crimes
The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation.
Having spent the last 30 odd years of my life dealing with ACTUAL suicidal people – not the imaginary ‘armchair’ kind Dennis seems to be thinking of – I just had to respond.
The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation. The fact that Christian doctrine can add insult to injury so callously is just one more piece of evidence to demonstrate how utterly broken and immoral the Christian worldview truly is!
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
You say I can’t be moral without God, ‘Cause I don’t pray.
Wittering about “Where the saints have trod”, Or so you say.
Denying my compassion, Like it’s going out of fashion,
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
Don’t be a Dick in LGBTQ Pride month!
It’s PRIDE month. LGBTQ citizens are exercising their right to be themselves, to openly declare their gender and sexual preferences without fear of prosecution and generally without interference from the rest of society. This wasn’t always the case and that’s why PRIDE month is so important. It’s a show of solidarity. It’s not just LGBTQ peoples’ opportunity to stand up and be counted – it’s our opportunity to show our acceptance of our fellow men and women.
He is risen,
Alleluia!
He’s not dead,
The Pastor fooled yer

Crucifixion as substitutionary atonement is barbaric and ridiculous. I want no part of it.
They tell me that their Jesus died for me. But that’s absurd. A scapegoat can’t pay the price for someone else’s sins. It’s barbaric and ridiculous and I want no part of it.
