Last time we met up, I noted that our guest-starring Creationists didn’t like the scientific method. They didn’t like it because it involves deductive reasoning. See, these two Creationists vastly prefer inductive reasoning, and a very strange form of it at that. Today, let’s explore why they prefer it, why real Read more
Today, someone in the Discord posted a link to a video made by Creationists. In it, a pair of Creationists disingenuously attack the scientific method. They don’t say why they need to knock down the scientific method, but only one reason ever drives Creationists to do these things. Today, let’s Read more
This analysis contains some information we don’t usually see out of the Southern Baptist Convention, including an egregious example of goalpost-shifting to avoid dealing with the metric most indicative of decline.
Prayer has always been the ultimate example of magical thinking. That means doing something that has no effect on a desired outcome, but the person doing it thinks it does anyway. And nobody knows that deep down quite like evangelicals do. As much as their Dear Leaders constantly push the Read more
Pew Research just released a bunch of surveys and studies about Nones. At 28% of America’s adult population, they now outnumber both Catholics (23%) and evangelicals (24%).

In response to a hardline Catholic’s response to another hardline Catholic, an evangelical agrees that there is ‘no better time’ to join up. Of course, it’s not like anyone could choose any other time in which to exist than the present. But it got me thinking. In terms of sheer Read more
Evangelicals continue to argue with each other about who should be on the Republican ballot for the next election: Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. Each camp has its own vehement opinion.
Invoking divine authority to bolster one’s claims is a long-beloved evangelical pastime. Here, it just makes them look ridiculous.
Not long ago, some evangelicals broke my heart. They were the family of a vibrant, impressionable, trusting, inexperienced young woman named Micah. In 2009, her husband murdered her. That husband, Thomas Pate, had pretended to be a true-blue evangelical to win her and her parents’ hearts. And he succeeded. It Read more
My goodness, a mere two days after roasting apologetics as hucksterism intended for evangelicals alone, I learn about a huge apologetics conference that recently happened. As I read the descriptions, I broke out laughing over and over again. Oh my. This was something, all right. Let’s dive into this conference, see Read more
