God’s Omnipresence

Eric — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:44:11 +0000

God has many attributes that are in the “omni-” category. In fact, every single attribute of his is in that category because it is the closest way finite beings can explain infinite qualities. One attribute of God in particular that got me thinking was God’s omnipresence. I mean, God is everywhere at all times, but [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 8

This week I will look at the eighth proof/argument from “God is Imaginary” website. Of course I don’t think this is true and why I am systematically going through each proof and trying my best to refute it. The proof this week about Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). The author argues that because these are easily explainable by [...]

The seventh proof of God’s “imaginariness” grounds its apex on delusions. A delusion is when a belief is maintained even when faced with contradicting facts. The author asserts that Christianity is a delusion, but fails to provide adequate reason to believe that Christianity is a held belief that has been proven contradictory to known facts. [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 6

The author, in this argument, attacks the idea of God’s plan. In it he says that everything evil is the result of God’s plan, and therefore, it isn’t our fault that we cause evil, but God’s. But since God is the author of the evil, and He can’t do evil, He must be imaginary. Of [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 5

The fifth “proof” that God is imaginary is probably one of the oldest, and weakest, arguments. It is attacking the Bible claiming that it is scientifically false, contradictory and written by simple man. In essence, this argument balances on contradictions found in the Bible. Of course, the Bible is the infallible word of God, so [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 4

The fourth proof for God’s lack of existence is a fairly ill conceived. The premise of this argument is that the secular-minded scientists can make advancements in the scientific world while religious-minded scientists can’t, presumably because they are too busy…praying? Regardless of how weak the argument is, it would do justice to go through and [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Part 3

God Is “Imaginary” – Part 3 The third proof from this site is the classical argument, why is the Christian God real and not all the hundreds of thousands of other gods? Simply put, these other gods have no record of their existence, no claim that was made solely to prove their existence and [...]

God Is Imaginary – Part 2 Refutation

Eric — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:36:36 +0000

Posted in Apologetics

The next “proof” listed on the God Is Imaginary website discusses prayer again. Instead of simply saying it doesn’t work, the author of the proof says that statistics demonstrates that prayer doesn’t work. I will admit, at first this sounds like a fool-proof method to prove prayer doesn’t work (and therefore God is imaginary because [...]

God is “Imaginary” – Several Part Series

Eric — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:35:32 +0000

Posted in Apologetics

I recently ran across a website called “God Is Imaginary”. Naturally my interest is perked, so I decided to check it out. The website’s goal is to prove that God doesn’t exist, or is imaginary, using 50 “proofs”. The crux of their attack is finding discrepancies between the definition of God and the God they [...]

Pro-Choice – How Should a Christian Respond?

Eric — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:23:43 +0000

Posted in Abortion Apologetics

Pro-choice/abortion, like many things in the apologetics blog, is a hot-button issue, especially in light of the recent Kermit Gosnell hearings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Gosnell). The pro-choice movement has had explosive growth lately as feminist ideals begin permeating the culture more and more. Pro-choice is essentially the prerogative of the woman to keep or abort the baby. The [...]
