My Mother, My Father and I (Brother) Rebuke My Sister Who's Become an Atheist. It was around 10:00 PM today, February 11th 2023. Usually we have a family dinner, but instead, my sister has been partying with her friends late at night multiple times a week for multiple weeks. She’s lied about it...

First of all I use the term *secular* lightly here as it's the only way in my pea size brain to encompass all worldviews that deny a transcendent source for morality or moral truths. So if it doesn't comport 1:1 please forgive me. Now to the post :). If the acceptability of your moral actions...

Fr. Casey is a priest I've really come to admire, with fantastic talks on many topics, but it's really his delivery that stands out. He actually puts thought into what he says, and does so in an exceptionally respectful way; grounded in his beliefs, and standing strong as a peacemaker in the way...

In my opinion, I find it difficult to hold onto the ideology of classical atheism after reading the following passages by two very deep thinkers: Douglas Wilson on Atheism "If there is no God, then all that exists is time and chance acting on matter. If this is true then the difference...

Study: Atheism is no longer a political taboo “Prior to the 2016 election there were 5 public nontheist state legislators, because of our efforts we have over 50 today -- more than a 900% increase” (Center for Freethought Inquiry). If this trend continues, what might American politics look...

... alright. Enough of the horse-hockey that so many non-Christians who come here keep proffering about slavery and the Bible. Instead, I propose we watch an episode of an atheist podcast for an additional angle on the "biblical" slavery issue. The following video is a recent episode of...

Hi there, So this is from a simple heart to contextualize. The context, is life in Jesus. Life in Jesus, never runs out (He will be returning, shortly). The point is this: Evolution says there is no telos, to Evolution. However, this is because a pattern of degeneration, is adopted (the...

Members of the National Academy of Science are far more likely to withhold belief in the supernatural than the general population. Science majors in general lack belief more than the general population. Biblical and New Testament scholars do not often hold conservative theological beliefs such...

In a popular youtube video by Dr Shermer, the title said "No God". This speech was recorded in one of the most prestigious universities of this world - Oxford. I don't agree with Dr Shermer. I'm certain there is a God (the Christian one). Let's now turn to his line of reasoning, as I...

What explains the trend of decreased religious belief and practice in the U.S.? Given the findings of the following Barna poll, how do you explain the reason for this trend? I am interested in how a person’s religious tradition, non-belief, or presuppositions shape the way they engage with...

Was in a friend's wedding not too long ago and got into an argument with one of our other friends concerning slavery in the Bible. Not sure what he was ultimately trying to point out (maybe trying to get the moral high ground as an Atheist), but the debate transitioned to how he could...

Firstly, consider what is meant by Health. Generally, we are healthy or something is healthy or in a state of health, when it is free of disease; or does not predispose or helps prevent disease or a pathological state. It is thus defined by what it is not. Humans have a wide variance of...

Hey. My name is Micha and I have dilemma. So basically, I have three really good friends, I will use aliases for their names because I don't want to expose them. I have three friends at school that I met about a school year ago. They're really nice and fun to be around and we hang out and...

Imagine two possible worlds: World 1 In this world there is no God. There is no afterlife and we are not held accountable for the way we have lived. World 2 In this world, not only does God exist, but the gospel us true. Jesus truly lived, died for our sins, and rose again. In this world there...

Fr. James Brent recently gave a talk at the Thomistic Institute entitled, "Responding to Contemporary Atheism." There he argues that contemporary atheism, rather than being simple adherence to a single proposition, is a complex phenomenon. To paraphrase him: "If you've ever gotten into a...

Before I begin, I'd like to state that I'm an Atheist. As far as I can remember, although my parents were Theists, I have never been one. The thought of a god seems so improbably to me. It just makes no logical sense. As far as I am able to recall, I've always felt that a god was illogical...

Random question here because it genuinely confuses me! Why do atheists try to stop any and all religious belief? I mostly see them trying to interfere with Christian practices but... why? For example: I can understand why a Christian would try and witness to and convert a person of Islamic...
