How to confound Christians with bad arguments: #6 Which God?; #7 Things we’ve heard before

June 9, 2013 by Randal

The sixth (and seventh) in my ongoing list of truly bad arguments offered by atheists comes courtesy of the Society of Edmonton Atheists website which provided a review of the Edmonton God or Godless debate. This is how it concludes: Overall, many of the arguments were all things we’ve heard before from the religious side. […]

Science is a fallible, flawed, and all-too-human human endeavor (but it is also the best thing going)

November 7, 2011 by Randal

In “God vs. the flying spaghetti monster at the Society of Edmonton Atheists (Part 1)” I summarized the first part of my address to the SEA. However, the lecture was interwoven with dialogue and so rather than continue on with a summary of the lecture, I’m going to spend some time unpacking some points on the […]

The sad face of atheistic fundamentalism

November 5, 2011 by Randal

While I am not a Facebooker, I was informed by somebody of the discussion at the Facebook page of the Society of Edmonton Atheists regarding my November 1st visit. (Incidentally, be sure to befriend the SEA page; for the most part they are indeed friendly.) The comment came from “Rodrigo de la Jara” who commented […]

God vs. the flying spaghetti monster at the Society of Edmonton Atheists (Part 1)

November 4, 2011 by Randal

On the evening of November 1 I was pleased once again to share an evening with the motley crew at the Society of Edmonton Atheists. My topic for the evening was “What hath God to do with the flying spaghetti monster?” I spent the first section of the talk summarizing a range of entities that […]

God vs. the Flying Spaghetti Monster at the Society of Edmonton Atheists

October 25, 2011 by Randal

I have been invited back to speak at the Society of Edmonton Atheists next week. This is a really good group of people and I had a very enjoyable time when I addressed them previously in June. (You can read about my previous experiences here.) So be sure you come on out of you are in the area. The invitation […]

Dogmatic Daniel’s degenerating dialogue

June 10, 2011 by Randal

I had a great dialogue with the Society of Edmonton Atheists. But it seems like my dialogue in the blog with one of the SEA’s chief representatives, Daniel (not to be confused with the character in Elton John’s song) has been degenerating. Daniel initially wrote in the blog: “Randal is a great guy, very intelligent, […]

Debriefing my meeting with the Society of Edmonton Atheists

June 8, 2011 by Randal

Beetle commented: “Hope to see a follow-up post about your talk!” The talk in question was my address to the Society of Edmonton Atheists. And so, as requested: There were about 25 people in attendance, a broad cross section of society from people in their early twenties to senior citizens in their golden years. Daniel […]

Speaking at the Society of Edmonton Atheists

May 29, 2011 by Randal

FYI, I have been invited to speak to the Society of Edmonton Atheists, though I am not sure if that makes me an honorary atheist for the evening. (But then, as my atheist friends love to say, I’m an atheist about every god but one. So maybe I am being invited to speak under the aegis […]
