He Doesn’t FREAKING Get Us – Part 2: Jesus Supported Women’s Equality?

There is a BILLION DOLLAR ad campaign going on now called “He Gets Us” (hereafter: HGU). The campaign is promoting Jesus and Christianity. Like most advertising campaigns, and like most efforts to promote the Christian religion, this effort has produced a large helping of BULLSHIT. So, I’m doing what I can to point a spotlight He Doesn’t FREAKING Get Us – Part 2: Jesus Supported Women’s Equality?

Evidence that Doesn’t Demand a Verdict

I am a left-wing atheist who hates Donald Trump and who is disgusted with every White Evangelical Christian SHITHEAD who supports Trump and his evil racist, sexist, anti-immigrant basket-of-deplorables. I spend much of my time critically examining the arguments of Evangelical Christian apologists like Norman Geisler, Peter Kreeft, and Josh McDowell.  I have come to Evidence that Doesn’t Demand a Verdict

Feser’s Perverted Faculty Argument – Part 1: The Core Argument

HSIAO’S PERVERTED FACULTY ARGUMENT I have REJECTED Timothy Hsiao’s Perverted Faculty “Argument” against homosexual sex NOT because it was a bad argument, but because it was a FAUX argument, and not an actual argument.  The core “argument” by Hsiao consists of three declarative sentences that were so UNCLEAR that they cannot be rationally evaluated, and Feser’s Perverted Faculty Argument – Part 1: The Core Argument

Aquinas and Homosexual Sex – Part 8: Legal Definitions

WHERE WE ARE Sometimes, Christian philosophers put forward pieces of crap that they pretend to be philosophical arguments, but that are just word salads that are posing as philosophical arguments.  The core “argument” in Tim Hsiao’s article “A Defense of the Perverted Faculty Argument against Homosexual Sex” (hereafter: PFA) appears to me to be one Aquinas and Homosexual Sex – Part 8: Legal Definitions
