Bakers, the KKK and the False Dilemma

Let me start by saying that I have a measure of respect for anyone who puts their name to their posts and bares their soul for the world to see. Paul Williams, who runs Blogging Theology, is one such person. I certainly do not agree with a lot of what I see on his site, […]

Answering Theology Archaelogy

Having declined to post my final comment (which as mentioned in prior posts, is his right) TA has written a page ‘answering’ some of the points I raised. He has stated I am free to reply, but from previous experience I doubt my replies will get by unless they meet his rigid criteria. If you […]

Science and Faith – the Comments

I recently took on some more anti-scientific ideas from TA of Theology Archaelogy. As TA has a tendancy to edit comments (assuming he even lets them through) I am posting them here. To begin with, I issued a challenge: TA, I openly challenge your assertions here. I had included the link to my article, but […]

Science and Faith (Once More)

It’s been a little while since I’ve tackled any of the stuff coming out of Theology Archaeology. There’s been nothing I would especially care to challenge, aside from the odd phrase, and I’ve had more important stuff going on to spend my time going after such minute details. However, one of his most recent posts […]

LBGT and the Slippery Slope Fallacy

In what seems to be fast becoming a weekly feature of this blog (and one I really need to move away from – more light-hearted posts are I think, sorely needed), I find myself yet again feeling the need to address some inaccuracies from TA. (why do you do this Ben, why?!) I’m not going […]

The Creationists vs the Meerkat (again)

  I don’t even know why. I sort of despair at both the material I’m reading, and myself. I’m not merely hurling myself at a brick wall. I’m loading myself into a cannon, and blasting myself toward it, even though I know full well it won’t do any good. Yet still I launch myself. Why? […]

Abortion, Choice and Christianity Part 2

This is the continuation of my look at an article that speaks about abortion. You can see part one here. The next paragraph is one that TA himself is quoting: “It’s not abortion that’s bothering them. It’s empowering women to live our own lives,” she asserted. “And when we have power over our own destiny, […]

Abortion, Choice and Christianity

One of the toughest, most challenging discussions that exists out there is the subject of abortion. It is inevitably emotive, and the topic is divisive. Overlapping this is the subject of women’s rights, and religious beliefs. One of these issues bears a great of relevancy to abortion – the other depends entirely upon your personal […]

Misrepresenting Facts

So having questioned TA on his stance RE logical rebuttals, and having once again mentioned his deliberate removal of a fact-based rebuttal to his claim that businesses can simply hang up a sign and refuse to serve anyone they like, I find myself looking at this: We have rejected a couple of Darthtimon’s posts because […]

Is it Worth it?

Another day, another anti-science, pro-creationism post over at Theology Archaeology. I am tempted to reply, but I suspect it would accomplish nothing. After all, religious fundamentalists are not swayed by mountains of evidence, so what chance do I have? Yet, I am often a glutton for punishment and, combined with my desire to see stuff […]
