Atheist Tuesday: Satan’s Subtle Suggestion

There’s the story told of Satan training his junior minions….

He asks them what they are going to tell human beings.

Minion #1 said, “I’ll tell them that there is no God.”

Satan thinks it’s worth a try, but doesn’t think many will be foolish enough to fall for that.

The second minion suggests: “I’ll tell them that there is no judgment.”

Satan thinks that’s better, but still doubts he’ll have much success, because people have an inbuilt sense of accountability, an understanding that actions have consequences. “Don’t any of you have any better ideas?” he scolds.

Atheist Tuesday: Of Pride, Pearls, and Pigs

I must start off this post today with an apology. Also, I want to repent. But first, let me give you a little background on why I feel compelled to do this….

You may have noticed over the last several months that fewer and fewer atheists are posting on Atheist Tuesdays, articles written especially for them; there are at least two reasons for this.

Reason #1: Unbelievers get very frustrated that I don’t answer all their multitudes of questions, which are inevitably followed up by a plethora of additional inquiries, and then succeeded by still further clarifications. Some of the questions are sincere but the majority of them are a waste of my time when most can be answered by Googling or going to an apologetics site. So I don’t answer them.

And they quit.

One of the more corrosive of the lot wrote this about being “censored” at this blog: “No big deal I was about done with him anyway he is a serious girlyman.” (sic)

Another, ExPatMat, got so upset he wrote, “We’ll have to agree that you’re a expletive deleted. I’m done with this blog.” 

Atheist Tuesday: The Faith Clause

I felt it necessary at this time to re-post this article from a year ago since so many new and fresh atheists have joined in the cacophony of criticism toward me, this blog, and my faith. This is the Ultimate Answer for all those who would wonder why, why, do I believe. I’m almost certain it will fall short of the answers you are looking for, but that’s okay. If you’ve read this before, unbelieving friend, then I invite you to read it again.

I will never answer the majority of the questions unbelievers have about God, questions that deal with proof that God exists; to do so would violate the “faith clause” that is a condition of becoming a Christian.

This part of the contract, which guarantees that a person who repents of their sins and trusts in Christ for forgiveness will have eternal life and not go to Hell, is not found in the fine print but is actually boilerplate stuff.

Here is the “Faith Clause”:

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

You see, this is a problem for the atheist. They want proof that God exists first.

Atheist Encouragement

On occasion I get an encouraging email from my atheist YouTube fans. Here’s one from  joestfrancois who comments on nearly every video I post: Listen I want to thank you. The work you are doing is taking moderate atheists and making them understand that they must stand up for what they believe in. I spent
