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 →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 183-189.

Last week, on Flippin' Fatwa Friday, we talked about the Hajj and its pagan origins. So, this week, we're going to talk about the pagan origins of Ramadan, the month where Muslims fast during the day, then eat a ton of food at night while applauding each other for their piousness and demand that us...

Apologetics: Young Earth Creationism

About a week or so ago, I got a request from a commenter asking if I would write a post about science and my stance on that. I said that was a bit broad and asked them to narrow it down. The commenter got back to me and requested that I write a post about... Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Bible vs. The Quran: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 122-129, 196-200

Happy month of Ram-it-down (Ramadan), everybody! It's Islam's holiest month, the one in which you're supposed to fast during the day before stuffing your face with two giant meals about the size of a Thanksgiving dinner after sunset for an entire month. Why do they do this? Well, that's going to be next week's Flippin'... Continue Reading →
