In memory of Chritopher Hitchens

I know I haven't blogged for ages and my fan club are no doubt wondering what has happened to me. I thought I'd write a post in memory of the intellectual giant Christopher Hitchens. I think its fair to say that Hitchens never lost a debate and was one of the greatest thinkers who has ever lived. Hitchens led an almost perfect live giving a moral example to us all and putting christians to shame. He Only every used logic in his debates unlike people such as william lane craig who simply fall back on dishonest retoric. Hitchens was a fountain on knowledge and knew loads of well researched facts on any topic. No wonder Christians ran away scared from him.

Alvin Plantiga - so stupid he cant even use an air conditioning unit without breaking it

So alvin plantinga is meant to be the best you xians have? And he can't even use an air conditioning unit without breaking it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Did the world end?

1.Harold camping said that the world would end on the 21st, he got this beliefs from reading the bible
2.Harold Camping was wrong.
3.Therefore what the bible says is wrong

Now christians might try to cry out the usual red herings such as 'Harold Camping took the bits of the bible out of context' or 'you have to use common sense when reading the bible' Ofcourse, those are just excuses. I ask, how do you with 100% certainity that your interpretaion of the bible is the one true correct one and that harold campings is wrong.

The Season of the WItch

I saw the film season of the witch at the weekend and the first two thirds were very historically acurate. It showed how a handful of crusaders would trot around Europe going from town to town killing millions of innocent people simple because they thought their sky daddy wanted them to. It showed how the church used violence to bully people into seeing their truth. It showed how villages were killing anyone that might possibly be a witch and how supersition drowns people and utters spells where science would have found a medical cure. Unfotunatly after displaying such historical acuracy for the first two thirds of the movie the last part was rubbish showing some cgi devil and magic. Shame, what started of as a good film could have had such a rubbish ending.

How did my Mithras challenge go

Well this year I sent out christmas cards but crossed out the word christmas and wrote in mithras above it. The only negative comment was somebody at work who told me to get a life. A surprising number of people just seemed to ignore the fact I was wishing the a merry mithermas instead of chritmas however I did have one interesting conversation with a person at my local supermarket and they agreed to watch zeitgeist the movie however tried explaining the amazing similarities between jesus and mithras through mithras plagarising old testament propheses however they couldnt explain how they knew jesus wasnt also a rip of frpm old testament propheses.

The Mithras Challenge

This year I'm going to send cards out wishing people a merry mithermas. I will also only wish people merry mithermas. Why? Well then people will wondering what I'm on about and it will cause them to start asking questions. These questions will hopefully leave them to research into mitheras as doing so will cause them to learn about the stunning paralels between jesus and mitheras. Its amazing what wishing somebody a merry mithermas can do!

The fallacies of john lennox

Your sky daddy is unfalsafiable

Imagine that you woke up one morning and the words 'I exist - love god' were written in the sky. Would that be conclusive proof that god exists. Well no, it could be that the vatican somehow discovered how to write words in the sky and are tricking us. Or maybe we could turn to paralel universe theory in which case everytime a cloud moves a bit two universes are created, one with the one cloud formation in and another with a different cloud formation. Over enough paralel universes all containing randomly shaped clouds, it would hardly be surpsing that one of them contained clouds that spelled out the words 'i exist - love god' Here lies the problem for the theist, whatever evidence you provide for your skydaddy us atheists will find an alternative explanation. Therefore your sky daddy hypothesis is unfalsafiable and as any atheist logic book will tell you, if a theory is unfalsafiable then it cannot be true.

Hawking disproved your sky daddy

Now as some of you may know, Steven Hawkings has proven that with gravity universes like our own will explode into being without any cause. Therefore we dont need a sky daddy. Now the maths and physics behing Hawkings thorey are a to complicated for most of the readers of my blog to understand however Hawking is a very intelligent person so if he says it then there must be good evidence to back it up. Ofcourse, many anti-science people will argue against Hawkings conclusive arguments but I would rather follow science than christian aplogists saying sorry that science has disprovoed their fairy in the sky.

Where does morality come from?

Jonny sometimes asks me where morality comes from. i think sam harris has done such a great job explaining it here that i have nothing else to add.

Being a dick

Now Phil Plhait has done a controverisal talk called dont be a dick Loads of other atheist blogs are commenting on it so i thought id add my own thoughts. You see, we should be dicks towards christians and proud of it. Richard dawkins sums it up nicely here:

I am more interested in the fence-sitters who haven’t really considered the question very long or very carefully. And I think that they are likely to be swayed by a display of naked contempt. Nobody likes to be laughed at. Nobody wants to be the butt of contempt.

So basically, by being rude to Christians and calling them names we bully them into becoming free thinkers. Clearly this works. Who sells more books? Phil Plait or Richard Dawkins. Who has the most popular blog? PZMyers or Phil Phait. We should be dicks and give christians the contempt they diserve.

the argument from google streeview

1.Google employs some very intelligent designers
2.Googles very intelligent designers put a lot of thought into google streetview
3.Google streetview blurs peoples faces out because it is recognised how important privacy is
4.therefore an intelligent designer would blur everybodys faces when they step out in public to protct there privacy.
5.therefore the real world is not desinged like the google streetview design committee designed there model of it.
6.therefore god disagrees with some of the best designers in the world
7.therefore christians either need to ask google to remove the face bluring technology from streetview or aknowledge that their sky daddy is an incompetant designer.

Christopher hitchens

sadly christopher hitchen has cancer. Hitchens is a beakon of reason and know for wiping the floor with christians in debates. Hopefully he will recover from it seeing as atheism needs somebody with his logic around

It kinda raises the question of why you sky daddy gave christopher hitchens cancer. Is that your sky daddys response? Somebody is beating all his people in debates so they retaaliate by giving them cancer.

MWV is a fraud

Ive just noticed this in mwvs blog. this is typical christian dishonesty. Going around lieing and pretending to be something theyre not. it shows how week the evidence for christianity is when they go around lieing like that. the sheer dishinesty. I guess jebus taught you to lie. yeah?

Some tips for MWN

Now mwn wants me to list my top ten argument against christianit so here we go (in no particular order)

1.who made your sky daddy?
2.theres no evidence your sky daddy exists.
3.Christianity contradicts naturalism
4.My argument from Google maps (its been an internet sensation so it must be good)
5.Your sky daddy doesn’t always let me have my own way, therefore they don’t exist
6.the similarities between astrology, Mithras and jesus
7.what about other religions
8.the bible contains contradictions and the say daddy does nasty things in it
9.Christopher hitchens has some amusing anocdotes and stories about the church and pope, therefore your sky daddy doesn’t exist
10.as bill maher so nicely puts it – Christianity is ridiculous.

Now as for books, you cant go wrong with the new atheists – the jesus papers by micahel baigent is also a good read. Id also recommend watching zeitgeist the movie and the god who wasn’t there (did you know that paul never mentions jesus in his letters and that son god sounds like sun god?)

dont forget to read through my blog archive - youll be amazed at all the arguments found in previous blog posts

plagarism

it apears luke over at common sense atheism has been plagarising my arguments. Youll notice that on the 14th of november 2008 I wrote this post. Then on the 20th of march 2009 I wrote this. Then one of the most popular atheist blogs on the internet called common sense atheism, after id done my posts, produced this Note how similar the post at common sense atheism is to mine.

So if i come up with arguments first why doesnt my blog get as many visitors as common sense atheism does?

Finally some really good news - a poster called MWM has converted to atheism after reading my blog!!!! Welcome to the rational world of enlightenment. if theres anything i can do to help you with your conversion let me know.

hole to hell

A hole has apeared in Ciudad de Guatemala. now some people say it is a hole into hell however you can clearly see the bottom in the photos and evidently hell aint there. tough luke xians as another part of your faith is shown to be a joke.

good friday?

christians call it good friday because jebus being crucified is aparently good. its this sort of thinking which led to the crusades.

i also notice that easter ocured around april fools day. its a shame they werent both on the same day.

jonah debunked

as you probably know, a killer wale recently killed somebody. it recently ocured to me that this debunks the story of jonah as it shows that wales dont let people hide inside of them

r.i.p richarddawkins.net

im sure you all know who richard dawkins is and have heard about his website and how it was once a place for rational and logical discussion. well richard dawkins has decided to shut his message board down. He doesnt seem to care that it had 2 million posts and a comunity that put christian efforts such as theolgoy web to shame. he even claims that there is something rong with his most loyal fan base. how dare he say such a thing. you can read what richard dawkins wrote here and read an explanation here.

how can somebody as rational and intelligent as richard dawkins be such a dick?
