Introduction and Answers

Hello, all. This humble blog will bring you commentary and critique on the most ridiculous arguments that theism has to offer. In anticipation of your questions, here are a few answers and explanations:

Why does this blog exist? To counter and critique some of the most ridiculous arguments that theists advance to further their own goals.

Isn't there a more productive use of your time? Undoubtedly. But while I don't intend for this to be updated on a daily basis, I do think that leaving bad arguments unchallenged is a travesty, especially when it takes so little effort to use a keyboard.

This is just to mock Paul Manata's weblog, isn't it? Certainly his weblog was the catalyst for the founding of this one, but there is a greater goal in mind. Although for now, comments will focus on that source material, there is plenty more out there to address than just him.

LMAO!!! I'm favoriting this URL, Zach. This ought to be every bit as much fun as gastrich.org!

Thank you for setting up this blog site, Zach! I'm eagerly looking forward to watching the fireworks! Since Manata took down his comments section (apparently the criticism was too much for him), your blog will serve the need to answer his rants with the refreshing sobriety of rational thought.

Keep it up!

It's time for you to pull a DEVASTATING REVERSAL!

Y'know, The Silent One brought up that those goofy things he said (such as the shining example above) sound more in line with Hercule from Dragon Ball Z than a serious debater.

Wait, Paul, a serious debater? How'd'ya like that, I made a funny.

I'm glad to see Bahnsen Burner and Todangst here. Hello guys. Let's skewer us some Christians.

Not being a native english speaker, I had to look up what "goosing" means.

"1. To poke, prod, or pinch (a person) between or on the buttocks.
2. To move to action; spur:"

Hmm. I like 1, but I'd settle for 2. I'd like to spur some presuppositionalists' brains into actions, so I have a better opposition. Our friend Manata has had his goose cooked (if you'll permit me the pun).

I picked the word, "Goose" for several reasons.

1) The imagery of the first definition was simply hilarious.
2) The intent of the second definition was completely appropriate to what I wanted this to become.
3) One of Paul's favorite phrases is "what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." I figured, if he's ladling it on the gander, then the goose needs some as well.
4) It just rolls off the tongue so well.
