Debunking CosmicSkeptic Debunking Himself Debunking the Kalam. A Rebunking? Or Something…
Reading Time: < 1 minute Okay, this isn’t so much a debunking as a conversation or a use of Alex O’Connor’s (CosmicSkeptic) recent video as a stimulus for discussion. It’s a commentary of sorts. I’ve got a lot of time for O’Connor: his videos are excellent and he rightfully has a big following because he produces quality content with finesse […]

William Lane Craig and Heaven
Reading Time: 4 minutes Recently, I wrote a few pieces on heaven with reference to William Lane Craig and how he has made claims about front-loading people who would reject Jesus (God using his Middle Knowledge to work this out) into those who, as it turns out with creation, never get to hear about him anyway. In other words, […]

Craig on Terminating Would-Be Apostates

God Is a Consequentialist. The Theist’s Defence: God Is Not Moral (I)
Reading Time: 5 minutes I have written an essay that can be found variously on this site called “God Is a Consequentialist” in which I set out that God is a moral consequentialist. Some of which I will now set out or paraphrase before looking at the defence William Lane Craig and others use to get around this. This […]

Can God Be Benevolent if He Sends Your Children to Hell?
Reading Time: 4 minutes Isn’t failing to believe in Jesus as your savior rather arbitrary? Is that sufficient to send someone to hell? Christians, do you want this rule applied to your children? And what does it say about a god who would have a rule that is so at odds with modern morality?
