Archaic Plagiarism: Gilgamesh and Modern Apologia’s Failure
When I tell apologists that many of the stories and concepts in the Bible can be found in pre-Christian/pre-Judaic cultures, the usual mode of defense is something along the lines of: “But my religion has the correct story.” I can rebut such an argument with the following thought experiment: Imagine you walk into Library A and find a book called Story A. Story A was published in 1800 in upper New York. It contains a specific story about a man named Jimmy who is 6 feet tall,

International Women’s Day Tribute
The main website mentioned above says this, “International Women’s Day on March 8th is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a national holiday. Suffragettes campaigned for women’s right to vote. The word ‘Suffragette’ is derived from the word “suffrage” meaning the right to vote. International Women’s Day honours the work

Understanding the Rumors of a Christian God
Here at Atheist Analysis we try to bring the most well balanced materials to our viewers. We do not want people to believe without evidence but sometimes we feel it is necessary to entertain ideas that we have already come to a conclusion on. This is what our series Conversations With Christians is all about. Our goal was to provide a safe environment for Christians that allowed them to express what they believed on different topics. We wanted to provide a space where Christi

A Year Long Journey Into Pasta & Leaving Atheism Behind
Over the past year, Atheist Analysis has had the pleasure of getting to know a fine young gentleman named Joey Kirkman. His book Bedtime Bible Stories was a great inspiration for our organization as we looked for tools to provide those in the atheist movement resources to help combat religion. Joey, who has in recent years identified as an anti-theist, and even skeptic, has taken on another label in hopes of trying on a new religion. He has recently converted to and become

Have Some of The Newsboys Turned Atheist?
The Newsboys, an Australian Christian Rock band that started in the 1980’s and has received national success within the Christian Rock Scene. They are responsible for the most recent hit off the sound track God‘s Not Dead and were an intricate part of many children of the late 80’s and 90’s as they were a clean and wholesome group that promoted god through their lyrics and their lives. But what if we told you that even a band that spent years within the main stream Christia

Response to “Response to ‘What Would Convince Me to Believe in God?’”: The Response-ception
So, it has come to my attention that someone has responded to my article on what would convince me to believe in God. On several points, he seemed to agree with me; many Christians often fail to relate to their audience in ministering to them. However, he also disagreed with me on some of these points, and I will now address his arguments. His first criticism is the fact that I argued that the evidence for God should be undeniable. He responded by pointing out that people ca

What Would Convince Me to Believe in God
This blog post is going to be a little different than most of mine. This post in particular is aimed more at theists than the majority of my posts are. Theists often wonder how to convince atheists of their position, and seem to think it is impossible to convince us of God. This clearly is not the case; from our perspective, theists often fail miserably at presenting their case, and even act in ways that detract from their arguments. It is not that we are not able to be convi

Why is Philosophy of Religion Not Taken Seriously in Academic Circles?
I recently came across an article on Reddit that discussed how philosophy of religion is not taken as seriously as other sub-disciplines of philosophy in academic circles. Even in religious institutions like Notre Dame, such a discipline is not taken as seriously as other disciplines, and students are reportedly told to avoid doing their dissertations on the subject. While it was not mentioned in the article why exactly this was the case, I think that I can offer a speculativ

The Best Argument – A Response to AiG
The Best Argument Response Answers in Genesis thinks they have the ultimate answer to all the atheist’s responses to the existence of god. Today I have the pleasure or should we say the distaste of seeing a post on the AiG website called “Chapter 27: What Is the Best Argument for the Existence of God?”. Now this title itself is an intriguing topic given that usually AiG asserts that “god is true because the bible says so, and the bible is true because god said so” which as we

Defending Atheism, and Why Presuppositionalist Apologetics Fail
Presuppositionalists like to ask questions regarding how we know what we know. They try to corner skeptics who lack belief in the supernatural into a form of solipsism, and this can be difficult for some people to counter if they have not experienced these kinds of arguments before. Wondering how we know what we know is a valid question, and it is something philosophers have been debating for centuries in the form of the Munchhausen Trilemma. This trilemma gives people three
