Leave Atheists Alone?

Humanists commonly comment on Christian websites and social media pages. Many of them are there to simply “troll,” while a few others like to debate. I’ve debated humanists on Christian pages, and have had worthwhile dialogue with them. Now, when I go on a humanist Facebook page to engage in discussion and debate, the tables are turned, though I’m not there to simply troll them. In Part 4 of what I dubbed the Bird Evolution Debate, one particular humanist/atheist, DG, acc

Blame and Praise Debate: Who is Evil?

In my previous post, I shared Part 3 of 5 of the Blame and Praise Debate which demonstrated a sad example of a person attacking the character of God in order to justify themselves. As I ponder this behavior once again, especially in regards to Part 4 of 5 of this debate, I am reminded of the chain of blame in Genesis 3. After Adam and Eve commit high treason against God, the following events occur: Adam and Eve try to cover their shame with fig leaves (Gen 3:7) and hide the

Blame and Praise Debate: Serial Killer?

The "Friendly Atheist" blogger, Hemant Mehta, wrote a blog post that, in essence, criticized Christians for praising God for good things, but not blaming God for bad things. Specifically, the blogger criticized two Christian women for crediting God for the fact that they were able to save a child from a hit-and-run. Hemant had this to say: “Let’s all state the obvious together: If God really was there for Peyton, maybe He shouldn’t have let the child get hit by a car.”[i] T

Vindication Debate: If Not Enlightened...

As shared in in my previous blog post, humanist JJ2 challenged me with the following comment: Kevin Hadsall, How is it possible for us humanists to get a clue as to the origin of god if not enlightened by the willfully ignorant, delusional, faith driven believers who cannot and have never provided one iota of empirical evidence? Science teaches that if you don't know the answer, keep working on it. Religion teaches that if you don't know the answer, god did it, so don't quest

Vindication Debate: Justice and Intellect

There is much irony concerning the way many humanists try to justify their faith in humanism. They point out specific observations about the world and claim these as evidence against the Bible. However, it turns out that the opposite is true. As Christians, we can respond to humanist claims by asking key questions, similar to the method that Jesus used when refuting the claims of the Pharisees. I got to do this recently on the Facebook page of the American Humanist Associ

Fairy Tales

Once again, I decided to venture into Humanist territory by initiating a debate on the Facebook page of the “Friendly Atheist.” The Friendly Atheist is a well-known atheist/humanist blogger. The blogger shared a mocking post of a church sign which read “The more ‘educated’ we become, the farther we move away from God.” I was not concerned with debating the subject of the post, but rather, finding a humanist to ask challenging questions. I spotted CW’s comment below, and I d

"Atheists are Better Humans"

The debate that I discussed in my previous blog post did continue, but not for long. However, I believe the conclusion of the debate is worth its own blog post. Below are the final two posts: CT: All of those concepts were contemplated by Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates nearly 400 years before Jesus was supposedly born. The Bible doesn't have a corner market on it, sorry. As far as I am concerned you might as well be using the word of Odin or Zeus. It's all the same. Human c

"I Base My Opinion on Facts"

For the first, time, I ventured right into Humanist territory to spark a debate: the Facebook page of the American Humanist Association (AHA). Up until now, I had only engaged in debates with humanists on Christian pages such as evangelist Ray Comfort's Facebook page. Humanists have this deceptive belief that their views are based on “facts,” when in reality, their views are based on faith. Watch how one particular humanist, CT (abbreviated to protect her ID), struggles to
