C-Webb's Sunday School

I don’t know why I do it but I can’t help getting sucked into a debate with a conservative. It’s simultaneously frustrating and fascinating. Frustrating because the conservative never waivers from their position or admits that they are wrong despite the overwhelming amount of evidence against their position and fascinating because they never waiver from their position despite the overwhelming...

When atheist and theist get into arguments, the theist will eventually come out with this gem of a counter-argument “well, you can’t disprove God!” The typical atheist response is “you can’t prove a negative” or “you’re making the positive claim, so you have to provide the evidence for your god.” These are all well and good responses but what if...

A new song with Phil from The Week in Doubt providing the hook

In this episode, I will continue examining William Lane Craig’s arguments for the empty tomb. In episode 41, I showed you how Craig’s first two arguments fall short when trying to explain the empty tomb using the Markan account. I also showed you that there is a perfectly good naturalistic explanation for the empty tomb, assuming a historical Jesus of... Read more »

The Genesis of the Ray Z debate. I have a terrible Australian accent so picture @AdamReakes rapping this!

In the last episode I showed you how the first and second verses in Genesis are not only scientifically inaccurate but that they are so far removed from modern scientific thinking that anyone defending this position either does so out of ignorance or clever rationalization. I demonstrated that when interpreting Genesis within it’s proper historical context and within it’s original... Read more »

Creationist have an enormous uphill battle in trying to get their version of origins accepted by the scientific community. For starters, I have yet to see a single creationist put forth a prediction that could prove creationism. All I see is piggy backing on the work of real scientist, cherry picking data and misinterpreting the findings. And that is just... Read more »

The evolution of religion is a fascinating topic. From an atheistic perspective, we ask the question of how! How, through the process of natural selection, did religious belief arise? and we ask the question why! Why did religious belief arise? To most theist, these two questions may not be as important. They see the propensity of a god belief to... Read more »

I do a rap debate with Ray Z aka Ray Comfort with Adam Reakes and Rah from twitter

Christians think they have a special revealed truth sent to them from their god. Atheist think they have an understanding of truth by using reason, science and skepticism. However, Christians have some tough questions to answer from atheist when it comes to their god and the bible. In this episode, I will examine some of those responses from christians to...

I set down with Phil from The Week in Doubt Podcast to discuss the paranormal and right-wing Christians. Then Tanner from the No God Cast Podcast and Secular Programming joins us to talk about the big news of Secular FM and whether or not faith is a virtue.

It’s important we take control of the definition of faith because when the believer uses faith, they use it the same way we would use hope or trust. This is not what faith it, faith is a knowledge claims. During discussions, words like evidence, logic and reason are thrown around without regard to the context of these facts. For most...

I lay down another track but this one is for Jake Farr-Warton from the Imaginary Friends Show Podcast. Ho Ho Ho Bitches!

Adam Reakes and Dumbass join me to discuss guns, gays, healthcare and death in this extended version of the Live show. Oh what fun!

To many Christians and Jews, the Bible is the unquestioned authority on morality. Often times you’ll hear believers say that the Bible is a book of morals but they never take the time to actually read it and when you point out the atrocities contained within, they look at you as if you’re the crazy one and say “Well, I...

Here is the Rap song that was heard on The Scathing Atheist. Thanks to Noah for the lyrics!

If there was a historical Jesus, we should be able to place him within the proper historical context and from that point, determine what his message was and how it was interrupted by his followers. I will demonstrate through the use of the New Testament, that Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher but not only that, he was also a failed... Read more »

Noah Lugeons from the Scathing Atheist and Phil Alberteli from The Week in Doubt join me to discuss Syria and the end of the world

You can’t study early Christianity without studying Gnosticism. Given how we use the term today, one would think that there was a unifying sect of Gnostics amongst the early Christians. However, this is not the case. Gnosticism is a modern construction by scholars. There was not a group of early Christians calling themselves Gnostics. This is C-Webb’s Sunday School!

How does God fair when we compare his actions to our understanding of morality? In this episode we answer the question: Is God a moral monster?
