Keith Parsons on Atheism, Theism, and Irenicism

July 6, 2015 by Randal

I suspect my readers all know what “atheism” and “theism” are. But what is “irenicism”? In short, it is the condition of peacemaking, the attribute of seeing the best in one’s ideological opponents and seeing concord where possible. We need irenicism now more than ever as our world continues to lurch into polarized oppositions with […]

Why atheistic apologists are generally ignorant and/or dishonest according to Chris Hallquist’s methodology

July 1, 2013 by Randal

In the elegantly titled “Randal Rauser is not someone who it’s possible to have any sort of rational discussion about religion with” I provided a critical response to Chris Hallquist’s article “The ignorance and dishonesty of Christian apologetics, part 1: anti-evolutionism.” In my response I focused on a couple points, including the absurdity of Hallquist’s […]

You have to read the article to find that Loftus agrees with Parsons. Fundamentalists should be ridiculed. However, Loftus adds “Keep in mind we don’t advocate this as the only response.” Why even […]

The End of Christianity? A Skeptical Review (Part 11)

September 9, 2011 by Randal

Hell. It had to come up sooner or later. And it takes center stage in Keith Parson’s contribution to The End of Christianity, chapter 10, “Hell: Christianity’s Most Damnable Doctrine”. I took away one important lesson from this chapter: Keith Parsons doesn’t like Dick Cheney or Sarah Palin. In fact, I thought these were the […]
