Getting Started

I just finished my "Conceptions of God" blog, and quite a while ago finished my "Scientific faith vs Religious faith" blog. I was inspired to begin a 3rd one. I frequently feel inundated by Christian propaganda whose goal is to convince me that the Christian worldview, of all the many worldviews and thousands of god-based mythologies, is the one true way of seeing reality. As in "Conceptions of God", I decided to compile a list of problems with that proposition.

There are web sites and books that go into excruciating detail in the subtle and complicated arguments for and against Christianity. Debaters on both sides are highly educated, extremely well-read, have encyclopedic recall of thousands of relevant facts and arguments. Within minutes, the discussions and references to arcane logical constructs and religious jargon become overwhelming and incomprehensible. This blog will specifically attempt NOT to overwhelm, but to present the layman's response to Christian evangelical proselytizing. It will give you just enough to understand why it makes sense to reject Christianity.

Ignoring, scorning, belittling, or ridiculing religious arguments do not constitute a rebuttal! Although the best policy may be to simply ignore the persistent Christian and hope they eventually go away, I am motivated to organize a response. This blog is that response.
