Atheist Tuesday: Majority of sociopaths are atheists says Denzel Washington

Some interesting thoughts from Denzel Washington as written about in The Blaze: While promoting his new movie “Safe House,” the actor described the difficulty of playing one of the main characters, Tobin Frost — an ex-CIA agent that has turned into an international (and infamous) criminal. When asked if it was challenging to portray the character,

Atheist Tuesday: The Atheist/Ex-Catholic

This man made my Gospel responsibility easy as pie. Can you guess why?

A Big Heart for the Atheists

Since it is Valentines Day, I wanted to do something special for all my unbelieving friends. Here are a few things (25 verses to be exact) the Bible says about the heart. These tell a simple story about the heart. Please don’t just roll your eyes and wait for next Tuesday’s post.

Happy Valentine’s Day, from my heart to yours.

Psalm 10:13
Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?

Psalm 17:10
They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.

Psalm 101:4
A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.

Psalm 7:9
Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God!

Atheist Tuesday Q & A: Liars, Censors and Sock Puppets

O’ unbelieving friend, here are a few more questions answered, hopefully, to your satisfaction.

Today’s three questions come from down-under, from everyone’s favorite atheist, BathTub.

Atheist Q: Why are people who believe that lying is a sin worthy of eternal punishment so transparently dishonest so often?

My Answer: I’m not entirely sure what you mean by this since you have cited no specific examples. Sorry.

Atheist Q: Do you feel your hilariously draconian censorship reflects well on you? Please refer to question 1 before you falsely describe the posts you’ve deleted.

My answer: I’m sure you must be referring to the times when I do not allow an atheist’s comment through. The reason I will do this on occasion is because certain articles are sacred to me.

For example: I may post a pro-life piece promoting the stunning documentary movie “180” to help people think about the egregious and murderous practice of abortion—to spur others on to get involved to save the lives of babies. I will not allow, at those times, pro-death, or what I would laughingly refer to as “pro-choice” arguments because you can read or hear about those all over the mainstream media. Also, I think it is in abominable taste and the height of inhumanity to promote a position that kills the innocent unborn no matter how pragmatic the argument may seem. Those types of comments I will “censor.”

By the way, I don’t censor anyone; I just don’t allow some comments through. (You have to admit I allow about 99%  of them.) The fact that I “censor” anyone shouldn’t really bother an atheist if they are consistent with their philosophy. Since there is no absolute standard, no absolute truth, then it should be fine for me to “censor” you at whim!

I also don’t allow the really negative comments through either. Unfortunately, since most of the really nasty, negative comments come from atheists, it seems that there is a disproportionate amount of “censorship” leveled at them.

Atheist Q: Do you feel the derogatory sock puppetry you allow here reflects well on the transformative power of the love of Jesus in the lives of Christians?

Atheist Tuesday Q & A: Why Your Way Only?

This Atheist Tuesday kicks off a new season of answering your sincere (and not so sincere) questions. Feel free to leave your queries about me, my methods, or my God in the comments section!

Atheist Davy wrote  in response to a comment posted from a reader sometime ago. My answers to his concerns will be in red:

The comment: “Today the bible is more widely translated, published, and read than in all previous centuries combined. By its teachings weak people find strength, worried people find peace, confused people gain answers, and intelligent people grow wiser. ”

Davy’s concerns and questions:

This is a interesting statement. So it’s agreed upon that you use the Bible to target weak people, worried people, and confused people. And if you do not fall into any of those categories and don’t follow your specific belief or Bible you must be wrong and will go to hell. Sorry to disappoint but not everybody is weak, confused, or worried.

Davy, you neglected the “intelligent people.” Did you exclude them from the statement on purpose? When one reads the Bible “intelligent people grow wiser.”  No one ever said that we target the weak, worried or confused; it’s just a fact that in this godless, biblically illiterate age, it seems that there are more weak, worried and confused people.
