    Fellow Christians, how many flaws are there in this rant about us by Bill Maher?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAvDtPz33w0 I stopped counting after a few minutes, but there are a lot of logical fallacies in this rant. What imperfections can you identify in it?

    Are the gods of all civilizations actually artefacts of man?

    Are all the gods in the pantheon actually creations of man? Actually, the answer might surprise you. In a word- Yes. All of the gods from every civilization are all made up by creative, desperate people. That is, gods, with a miniscule letter "g." In utter ignorance, people have hastily...

    Why do some dudes use these ubiquitous Strawman arguments to refute God's existence?

    Flying Spaghetti Monster. Flying Garlic Bread Monster. Sleeping Beauty. Unicorns. Leprechauns. Pixies. Peter Pan. The Tooth Fairy. Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny. Dragons. Etc. ? It's just odd to me- people are swift to point out logical fallacies that Theists commit- but they seem to turn a...

    Do I just need to stop whining and put on my big boy britches here?

    I am trying to make some drastic improvements in my life. I am seeing a therapist, taking meds, attending college, and working part time. I happen to have obsessive compulsive disorder, as well. I don't want to rely on the OCD as a crutch or an excuse for failure or indolence, but I have often...

    Okay- ready for a silly bathroom joke?

    All right. So when you're going to use the bathroom, you're "Russian." When you leave the bathroom, you're American. So what are you while you're in the bathroom? "European." EDIT: Well, telling this joke only actually works if you tell it to an American person. Sorry about that! : )

    Since some people assert that religion is a mental illness, does that mean that

    the irreligious are healthier? Do you contend that religion is a mental disease or illness? Okay. If you believe that, does that mean that atheists or other non-religious people are mentally healthier than believers? Prove it.

    Is it impossible to have faith, and not be brainwashed?

    Is it impossible to be religious, but not brainwashed? What makes you think so? It seems as though some atheists equate the religious and the faithful with brainwashing. Why is that? Of course, there are some cults who brainwash people. It happens all the time. Does that mean that if someone...

    Proponents of evolution: is this a sound argument for Intelligent Design?

    I understand that if you support evolution, you may consider I.D. supporters to be your nemeses. Please don't think that way for the next few minutes. If you enjoy science, then you know how valuable objectivity is, and how essential it is to science. Please remain objective as you read my...

    Anything is possible. Ergo, it is possible that I and my fellow believers- the billions of us- have been brainwashed. Do you think that in terms of probability, that it is likely that all of us have been brainwashed? Think outside the box for a moment about this. How does someone perform a...

    Have you been brainwashed by society?

    It just seems like a whole lot of people keep getting their panties all up in a bunch...people apparently think it's not okay to question authority. Are you one of them? Well, if that makes you feel safe, I guess continue to feel that way. If you want to be incredibly naive, go for it. If you...
