Gaslighting the Critics? If you call out Alisa Childers’ falsehoods, you’re not the problem
This video offers a direct reply to critics who claim that it is rude or mean or otherwise un-Christian to call out Alisa Childers for repeatedly and unapologetically spreading false and harmful claims about fellow Christians.
Biblical Violence, Moral Relativism?
When David beheaded Goliath, he violated rule 113 of customary international humanitarian law which prohibits the mutilation of corpses in war.

In this guest post, Joseph Hinman introduces his new book God, Science, Ideology. A summary of my new book: God, Science, Ideology (GSI) makes the argument that New atheism is not scientific in its appraisal of God belief, but uses science ideologically.

Indoctrinational Apologetics
If you really want to empower your kids, start by rejecting the binary framework that frames every disagremeent as the truth vs. “a lie”. People can disagree with you without “lying”.
