July 7, 2021 by Randal

Last week, I hosted Counter Apologist on my YouTube channel. This week, he returned the favor and we had a wide-ranging discussion about rationality, dialogue, and other matters. ?

Exercises in Missing the Point: A Response to Counter Apologist’s Scorched Earth Review

May 16, 2017 by Randal

I recently preached a sermon on faith and evidence and while it received a warm reception in the comments section of my blog, apparently the feelings were not universal: an absolutely scathing review was posted just today by the generally amiable Counter Apologist (henceforth CA). How scathing? Consider his opening (f-bomb and all). CA says of my sermon: “It […]

Even if theism may be rationally justified, can the same be said of a specific religion?

February 18, 2017 by Randal

A couple days ago Counter Apologist published a glowing review of An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar. Counter Apologist writes: In the last debate book review I did, I asked “So who won?” which is the kind of inevitable question you get with these kinds of books.  I’m sure some theists will read […]

I observed: The leaders of intellectual atheism from W.V.O. Quine down to Thomas Nagel have always been committed to […]

June 14, 2013 by Randal

Yesterday I had a talk with Counter Apologist which ranged over several topics early on but quickly focused on the topic of metaethics. CA blogs about it here. And you can watch it below. (But be warned: due to technical difficulties the entire video consists of my ugly mug.)

Counter Apologist reviews “God or Godless” … and Randal responds

June 6, 2013 by Randal

You can read the review here. Counter Apologist provides a balanced review and has great things to say about both Loftus and me and the book itself. However, as you can guess, CA was more critical of me. Indeed, he states this rather baldly as follows: “That all said, I’m an atheist, of course I think […]
