One of the impromptu series of shorts that I'm doing on my YouTube channel is one addressing the claim that the Bible prophesies the coming of Muhammad. Now, for any of us who have read the Bible, the claim that the Bible prophesies Muhammad's coming is absurd. The closest the Bible comes to saying anything... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Bible vs. The Quran: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 148-155
It's been several weeks since I last dissected the Quran, so now that we've had a break, it's back to this. We're going to be picking up from where we left off at verse 148, and taking a look at the seemingly good, the bad, and the ugly. Let's begin: 148. And everyone has an... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – A Comparison of Claims About the Insanity of Jesus and the Insanity of Muhammad. (Part 3)
Over the last two Flippin' Fatwa Friday posts, I've discussed the possibility that Muhammad and Jesus were either epileptic or insane. Jesus repeatedly proved Himself to be of sound mind and didn't show any sign of epilepsy. Muhammad didn't pass so cleanly, with the theory that he had epilepsy or a personality disorder still standing.... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – A Comparison of Claims About the Insanity of Jesus and the Insanity of Muhammad. (Part 2)
While epilepsy is a plausible explanation for Muhammad’s behavior, and an impossible one for Jesus’, another theory must be considered. The existence of personality disorders in both men has been suggested and it’s also worthwhile to examine the symptoms of them to see if they fit. Personality disorders exist when the patient’s way of thinking, perceiving, reacting, and relating to others becomes so pronounced, rigid, and maladaptive that... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Atheism Confuses Me – The Religion That Denies Being a Religion.
As I've been studying various religions as an elective for my senior year, I have come to the realization that atheism - despite the vehement claims of its followers - is a religion, whether you like it or not. After all, if you look at the definition of "religion," Google defines it as, "The belief... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – A Comparison of Claims About the Insanity of Jesus and the Insanity of Muhammad. (Part 1)
One of the many questions critics of various religions ask when evaluating the validity of the religion’s claims is the question of its founder's mental health. If it can be proven that the founder’s claims came from delusions, then the religion risks being dismissed as the ramblings of a madman. As C.S. Lewis put it in his famous trilemma regarding Jesus, “A man who... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Pastaferians – the Babylon Bee of Religion.
I call Pastaferians "The Babylon Bee of Religion" because the entire thing is a parodic religion for anyone who's opposed to "crazy nonsense done in the name of religion"...whatever the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its members defines that as. Originally, it was raised to oppose intelligent design being taught in schools. Is... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. the Bible: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 142-147
I know. After a month of Flippin' Fatwa Friday posts, we'll all need a break... a week where there isn't a Flippin' Fatwa Friday. At some point, we'll get to that, but for right now, with Ramadan ending this week, we need to talk about Islamic prayer and how dumb it is, along with the... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 130-141
Continuing with our Ramadan take-down of the Quran, we're going to be jumping back to Surah 2:130 and going from there. In today's verses, we're going to be going a bit more into the Islamic Dilemma. Let's jump in. 130. And who will show aversion to Abraham's creed except he who has befooled himself. We... Continue Reading →
