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 2: Clarifying the Conclusion of the Core Argument

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.

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.
