  • Helping Paul Baird Recognize An Argument

    Paul Baird has taken a third break from his hiatus at his blog to respond to a post I wrote here.

    Recall that Paul proposed the following (PR):

    I have had a revelation from a non-Christian supernatural transcendental entity that I use to ground my worldview.

    He wanted me to, “Disprove that revelational epistemology, preferably in less than 1,000,000 words.” I offered the following argument:

    PR states: “I have had a revelation from a non-Christian supernatural transcendental entity that I use to ground my worldview.”

    If atheism is true, then PR is false.

    Atheism is true.

    Therefore, …

  • An Argument for Paul Baird

    Paul Baird took another break from his blogging “hiatus” to comment here regarding a post I just recently wrote here.

    Ok, Chris has posted a “response” at https://choosinghats.org/2011/09/paul-baird-breaks-his-silence/ and continues to validate my points.

    Note that right away Paul places “response” in quotation marks. Perhaps he does not think that my post was a response, but then he would be wrong (at least according to www.dictionary.com):

    re·sponse

    noun

    1.  an answer or reply, as in words or in some action.

    Perhaps Paul did not get the definition of “response” wrong, but instead was attempting to give his readers …

  • Paul Baird breaks his silence

    Paul Baird felt it necessary to break his posting hiatus with his post, “For Chris Bolt,” which is written in response to my latest post, “Paul Jenkins and Damage Control.” According to Paul, he is “annoyed” that he must do so, not even getting past his second word before using the typical fundamentalist atheist rhetoric. The rhetoric continues with Paul’s description of my post as “paranoid delusion.” Of course, Paul does not actually explain how I exhibit paranoia in the post, or how it is delusional, or whether or not his description even makes sense in …

  • Paul Jenkins and Damage Control

    Paul Jenkins mentions in a recent post that some of his “readers may have endured what has become known as The Fourth Debate, in which the three Pauls of the Skepticule Extra podcast were subjected to the presuppositional apologetic argument of Eric Hovind and Sye Ten Bruggencate.” Note that Paul’s rhetoric begins when his post does with the use of “endured” as though there was something particularly unbearable about Eric and Sye’s performance in their discussion with the three Pauls when in fact the only thing that might be considered unbearable in that discussion was the ignorance, inconsistency, …

  • Fundamentalist atheism – why bother?

    Paul Jenkins has written a post here (you need to read this post to make sense of what follows) which, I take it, is supposed to be some sort of response to my “obsessive and tedious” commentary on one of his podcasts. Really it is an implied instruction to his fundamentalist atheist friends not to listen to the three Pauls failing miserably in their attempt to defend their foolish fundamentalist atheism. Paul’s post reminds me a bit of a cult leader’s plea to his followers not to listen to the satanic messages of the outside world. In any event Paul’s …
