The idea that God would knowingly use the Bible as the primary source of revelation for his existence and as a moral exemplar is thoroughly problematic if he knew it would be used to justify slavery by countless people over almost 2000 years.

The “Slavery” article in the Long Reads section is good.

It is at this point that I like to remind them that “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool“, Acts 7:48-49

I am on a roll this year. I reckon I have helped cure about 20 of them from their god delusion.

I even surprised one today when I showed him t…[Read more]

OK, none of you Catholics seem to be able to adequately answer my questions but I was wondering if you could try one more which I am certain you will find easy enough. It about plenary indulgences. Is it true that the first week of November is the best time to visit a graveyard to pray for the souls in Purgatory? I understand it is acceptable by…[Read more]

I have decided to be a no show on the day as I cannot respect a God who is the law maker, the judge and the executioner.

Another question for Catholics – How comes the Pope is allowed to let so many people bypass the Day of Judgement and get to Heaven early? How does the Pope know that God is happy with all of his selection?

@Robert – Always cracks me up when adult preachers talk like children and give warnings as if they really care about people.

One of my fav questions when debating Catholics is about how they think they will look on the Day of Judgement when “The man comes around”.

Will you appear as you were on the day you died or will you be a spirit? I can never get a straight answer. It’s as if they just don’t know! But they do seem so certain that they will get to Heaven (withou…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

I first heard mention of Von Mises when I worked for an economic research group in the London Business School for 2 years as the Berlin Wall fell and towards the end of the Thatcher era in the 90’s and Desert Strom. It was an interesting time to be extrapolating economic data! While I would not agree with all of his ideas, I do agree with the f…[Read more]
