If you ever doubted Biblical misogyny just have a read of 1Timothy Chapter 2. That’ll put you in your place, ladies!
Are you listening, ladies?
I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over a man.
Fallacies 1: The sharpshooter fallacy
The Sharpshooter fallacy is a favourite of psychic con-artists, mediums, faith-healers, religious scammers and many more. Those who knowingly employ this fallacious argument cannot be trusted.
The God free guide is about critical thinking as well as counter-apologetics. This short video is the first of a series outlining logical fallacies. This one is the Sharpshooter fallacy (AKA Cherry picking). It’s a favourite of psychic scammers, mediums, faith-healers, religious scammers and many more. It works because we’re evolved to be pattern-seekers. The sharpshooter fallacy takes advantage of that and those who knowingly employ this fallacious argument cannot be trusted.
Atheists just want to sin!
But if sin is abusing others, condemning the innocent and sewing division within society where none exists then you Christians really ought to look closer to home.
Remove the plank from your own eye before you complain to your brother about the mote in his.
Christian apologists sometimes try to discredit atheists by claiming that we’re only turning away from God because we love to sin. The implication, of course is that we’re all violent, abusive drug addicts and promiscuous users, desperate to lead innocent believers away from the true path. This seems bizarre considering the stuff in the Bible advocating all kinds of abhorrent behaviour, even going so far as the murder of innocent children… and cattle.
Indeed, in the book of Exodus God makes a point of killing Pharoah’s cattle multiple times. I suppose he resurrected them between times which makes Jesus’ post-crucifixion antics fairly commonplace but I digress.
Apparently, as an atheist I like to sin. Well, yes – that’s true actually – but not in the way you think.
Let’s look at what sin really means…
Challenging the ‘Cumbria preacher’
Dale is a street preacher from my hometown. He’s the man who threatened a 13 year old autistic boy with damnation to Hell!
This video contains my challenge to Dale, If you’re so sure of yourself then come and debate me.
Dale is a street preacher from my hometown. He’s the man who threatened a 13 year old autistic boy with damnation to Hell! This video contains my challenge to Dale, If you’re so sure of yourself then come and debate me. We can both record it and both reserve the right to publish it unedited. We both get to speak through a microphone – not just one of us – and we both get to speak without our voices being drowned out by the other.person.
I’ll be linking this video in the comments there so he sees my challenge.
Dale, you can reach me via a YouTube comment or by commenting on my blog at http://www.TheGodFreeGuide.com
10 (revised) commandments
These are the God free guide’s 10 commandments, updated for the modern world. They’re much more in line with how the world really is today and with how genuinely decent people ought to treat each other.
So apparently this Moses guy, you know, the one who wrote in detail about his own funeral (as well as about towns that weren’t even founded until centuries after his death) also wrote some commandments. Yeah, I know he said God wrote them but since neither God nor Moses actually existed I think we can safely assume they were made up by ordinary men. Ordinary MEN, not women, mind you. Men who lived in the desert herding camels and treating anyone without a penis like property. Perhaps that’s why the 10 commandments are so control-orientated.
But worry ye not – I’ve improved them for you. These are the God free guide’s 10 commandments, updated for the modern world. They’re much more in line with how the world really is today and with how genuinely decent people ought to treat each other.
Here they are…
Intelligent design and a fat bloke bathing
God created everything with ‘saying stuff magic’ like “let there be…” or “Abracadabra”.
Creationists tell me that the world, life, the cosmos, everything was designed and created by God, simply by using ‘saying stuff magic’ like “let there be…” or “Abracadabra”. Furthermore they tell me that this design is all for our benefit (or at least for theirs) and that it’s all perfect. I have a few questions. I also have a bathtub.
Godly arrogance
He was led to a belief in Christ through his own arrogance.
The Discovery Institute, that bastion of psuedoscientific nonsense has a video clip currently doing the rounds. In it they claim that Dean Kenyan, physicist, biologist and creationist was led to his religious convictions by science. But that’s not true. He was led to a belief in Christ through his own arrogance. Here’s why.
Ego, ethno, exo
This immature, egocentric, childish God craves constant attention. It needs constant praise and perpetual worship as reassurance that it is loved.
It’s possible to understand an individual’s maturity by their attitude towards others. Babies are egocentric, children adolescents, xenophobes and racists are ethnocentric and truly mature individuals are exocentric.
The immature, egocentric child craves constant attention. It needs constant praise and perpetual reassurance that it is loved.
Thou shalt have no other Gods before me!
Thou shalt love the Lord, your God with all your heart!
The God of Abraham, of Jews, Christians and Muslims is an immature child. It is less mature in its morality, its ethics and its perception of others than the warmongering, bronze age nomads who invented it.
Blasphemous shorts: The problem with faith
There’s a real problem with #faith in #Christianity but that’s not the only issue. Self-censorship is the underlying problem.

Salvation? Schmalvation!
It’s not really death, is it? He’s eternal. He’s not dead – he just had a few days off. The self-harm is over now and it’s business as usual in Heaven, with His father (who is also Himself) so nothing was really sacrificed and nothing was given. It’s a bit of a con job really, isn’t it?
The whole thing’s just a big con. Even if you assume the Bible is entirely true – every word – it’s still a con. Here’s why.,..
