Sorry, guys. We have a longer one to deal with today. At first, I only wanted to go through verses 110-112, but when I saw that 122 starts talking about Abraham and the Kabbah, and Ramadan starts on the 17th, I figured I'd make you guys suck it up and deal with 11 verses of... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does God Condone Familial Abuse?
I recently got a comment from someone on my post answering the question of "Is God Abusive?" that was asking about the Bible's treatment of familial abuse, both in the book and in the real world. I don't know if this person is a deconstructor or not, but it's a fair question. I honestly hadn't... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does God Predestine People for Hell or Heaven?
Last week, when I was talking about Islam's view of predestination, I mentioned that there's actually a huge debate in the Christian world about if God predestines people to go to Hell or Heaven or if He just knows who is going to go where. And this isn't the first time this has come up.... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Bible vs. The Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 104-106.
Happy Al-Zutt Remembrance Day! Unfortunately, while I was writing this post, I completely forgot that this installation of Flippin' Fatwa Friday would fall on this hilarious new holiday, which means that sadly (or thankfully, depending on how you look at it), we will not be talking about Muhammad's midnight rendezvous with the thirty men of...

Apologetics: Atheism Confuses Me – the Moral Argument
Atheism is one of those belief systems that absolutely baffles me on a fundamental level. This isn't meant to slam any atheists reading this. It just truly baffles me how atheism is supposed to make sense. Just look up what the chances are that the universe could form, much less support life. Or look up... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah al-Baqarah Verses 97-103
After a short hiatus, we're back to dismantling the Quran section by section, and today, we're going to be looking at an example of the Islamic Dilemma and some made-up history about Solomon and the Jewish people. For a book that claims to be the sequel to the Bible and the most amazing thing ever... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe About Jesus?
To wrap up our short series about what various pseudo-Christian groups believe, we need to talk about Jehovah's Witnesses. Thankfully (for me at least since I have to write this), Jehovah's Witnesses have a single, massive problem that makes the character of Jesus nowhere close to who Christians believe that He is. They believe Jesus... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does Christmas Have Anything to do With Jesus?
I'm not really sure if this fits as a Debunking Deconstruction post as much as a normal apologetics post, but it works either way since this is something I hear from members of other religions (i.e. Muslims, Wiccans/neo-pagans, Jehovah's Witnesses) and deconstructers a lot online. A lot of them like to claim that Christmas has... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: What Does Mormonism Teach About Jesus?
Now, that we've covered Islam, we need to cover what Mormonism teaches about Jesus and the Christmas story. Now, most of us have had at least one encounter with a Mormon, usually in the form of pretending that we're not home as they ring our doorbells to ask, "Have you heard of our Lord and... Continue Reading →
Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Was Mary Raped?
One of the things that deconstructers (especially atheists) like to toss around is the idea that Mary was raped in the Bible, using this as an excuse to justify their hatred of God. This is a frankly insulting belief to every Christian out there and has absolutely no Biblical basis whatsoever. If we look at... Continue Reading →
