... Iran has compiled a useful, though incomplete, list of conspicuous Anglophone apologists, propagandists, and cheerleaders for the Khamenei/Revolutionary Guards/Ahmadinejad regime in ... ;s TV station, PressTV. One or two of them have not quite acted as explicit apologists for the regime (though most of them have). But he is correct to indicate that even those exceptions (or semi-exceptions) should be ...

I’m done talking about the “wannabe apologists”, at least for a while. It only puffs up their over-inflated egos, over-blown self importance and quite frankly I’ve grown tired of talking about and dealing with “novices”. I saw these clips on YouTube today which reminded me of what REAL apologetics is all about. I always enjoy

Through Christ, the Triune God has already revealed Himself unmistakably in every aspect of creation so that humanity is without excuse. Against Christ, humanity has taken knowledge into its own hands and so barred the door against all claims from above. In view of Christ, God has handed humanity over to its chosen futility, locking the door from His side too. In Christ, God has entered this ...

Over at The Corner, Andy McCarthy and Marc Thiessen are engaged in a tag-team effort to defend Bush Administration interrogation practices. Several of their arguments are severely flawed. Mr. McCarthy writes: Officers of the executive branch have a solemn obligation to protect the American people. It is their highest responsibility. They are not good Samaritans. If there is a serious threat ...

... " Scholarship February 13, 2010 Mr. Salhami is aghast at the self-taught scholars in Islam. There is a good reason for their appearance. The university- trained 'experts' are apologists for Islam. They are trained in denial and justification and produce the type of scholarship that allows the army to investigate Major Hasan's jihad at Fort Hood and never refer to Islam. The ' ...

Suddenly, these DC arguments turn out to have real-life impact. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic candidate for senate in Florida, just sent this out: Nearly 50,000 Floridians will lose their unemployment benefits in the coming weeks because one U.S. Senator is holding up legislation extending unemployment benefits to out of work Americans. “Florida’s families are experiencing insult ...

James has responded once again to my posts with further personal attacks and misrepresentations at The Mything Links. Evolutionary scientists are quite capable of answering creationist arguments in a way that educates the public. They know the creationist arguments well, and do not need to misrepresent them to make their case. The evidence and methods and

They're outraged over at Answering Muslims about the Ft. Hood massacre. And it is a tragedy. There's no denying that. If it had been a few years back it could have been my brother Bill, who was in the military and was deployed in Iraq. I would have been devastated. As painful as that thought is I can imagine the pain that Iraqis, Afghans, and Palestinians are going through right now. ...

As religion and its sycophants continue to crumble under the weight of science and reason, its exponents have dialed up the polemics and the deceit. Jacqueline Maley's editorial, "Atheism's true believers gather"[1], published in The Sydney Morning Herald is one of the most disingenuous, inaccurate portrayals of atheists--replete with some of the most outlandish faulty logic ...

Christians are claiming their faith is growing around the world, and it is in the Southern Hemisphere and Asia. Big deal. You want to really impress me? Then put a rubberband around my two books Why I Became an Atheist, and The Christian Delusion, and give them to prospects before they decide (or similar books). Also give them any two Christian apologetics books. Have them translated into their ...

During this discussion, I had an epiphany, a "Holy crap!" moment if you will, because of something Seth R said: Just about every supposed anachronism, every attack on the Book of Mormon, has been met with multiple arguments and explanations. The battle-field is utterly undecided here. No side has won a decisive advantage here... That first sentence is quite correct. Every attack ...
