A Rock Too Big

It's a very old question: "Can God create a rock that is too massive for Him to move?" This question is designed to demonstrate that God's omnipotence is incoherent. It is said, if it's true that God can do anything, then, surely, this is a thing He can do. However, if He can, in fact, create a rock too massive for Him to move, then there is a thing He can't do. Which is... Move the rock... Either way, there is something that He can't do. Therefore, omnipotence is a self-defe

Nihilism in a Godless Universe

"If Christianity is false and a worldview containing atheism is true, then nihilism is logically entailed." Someone asked me to defend the above. So, here it goes. By the way, I've provided an adorable little dictionary at the end to help clarify my points. I. If God does not exist, then all human life as well as every individual life will ultimately be destroyed. II. If there is no God and no life beyond the grave, then life itself has no ultimate meaning, value, or purpose.

Thoughts on Atheism: A Definition

I’ve seen a lot of differing opinions on how atheism ought to be defined. I want to put my perspective on this term down in writing, just to get it out of the way. This will probably be pretty dry for most people, but this stuff interests me and you don’t have to read if you don’t want. But know that I appreciate you if you do. First, “atheism/atheist” is derived from the base, “theism/theist”. So, we will first define “theist” and that will give us my understanding of “athei

Thoughts on God and Genocide

I have been asked to talk about God and genocide. This topic seems to be coming up a lot in my life over the past couple weeks. So, someone asking me to write about it just seems like a sign. What should we make of this? This idea of God commanding the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group (1). That is what genocide is, after all. And it doesn't help to say that God never command

The Problem of Death's Door: Part 3 Beginning the Investigation

In Part 2, I gave reasons for why and where we should start our investigation as to what lies beyond Death's Door. We ended up with Christianity being our starting point. Please remember that this is my suggestion and that you are free to go about your own investigation any way you want. Just remember that while we will likely have years to look into this matter... You never know when that might get cut short. Death's Door is always approaching. In my previous post, I recomme

The Problem of Death's Door: Part 2 Where Should We Start?

In my last post, I talked about the inevitability of everyone opening Death's Door. That we don't know what lies beyond it. What I think is strong motivation for us to investigate what could lie beyond it. And four criteria that we can use to help guide our investigation. Those four criteria that I provided are merely suggestions. You are free to come up with your own. My criteria are focused around the idea that it's possible that what lies for us beyond Death's Door is eter

The Problem of Death's Door: Part 1 What Do We Do?

I don't know about you, but I didn't ask to be born. Maybe you did, but I certainly didn't. I've had a couple of years now, in this type of existence. And it's interesting to note that many of us get to be here for quite a while. Granted, it's not "forever". But, it's longer than a few minutes, or even a few hours. A lot of us get to be here for decades. What should we make of it? This march that we're on. This march towards death. Death. It looms before us. Like a door at th
