Purpose of this blog
This blog, “Dan Barker - One of America's Leading Atheists,” has as its express purpose to consider and respond to various statements made by Dan Barker. This blog was established in Jan. 2008.
We consider various aspects of Dan Barker’s assertions from his views on human dignity to ethics and from his activism for Freethought to his besmirching of the Bible.
Dan Barker appears to base many of his arguments on his supposed authority as an ex-preacher turned atheist. These arguments from authority may go quite a ways towards convincing the uninformed that the Bible is not to be trusted. However, as we chronicle in this blog Dan Barker’s attempts to discredit the Bible only end up discrediting him as every attempt he makes exposes is own lack of knowledge of the Bible. Ex-preacher or not, Dan Barker may be popular but falls into various fallacies in his zeal as an activist for his worldview.

Morally speaking Dude you are gonna have to read it before you call the man a liar.
ReplyDeleteTo lie is to state as true what you know to be false. He might merely be mistaken & in gross error.
It's only fair.
God Bless.

BenYachov;
ReplyDeleteYes, of course, you are right.
My point was only to go where his illogical conclusions took me and to play off of that in a somewhat satirical manner.

Interesting that you think you know the bible better than an (former) evangelical minister. Take off the blindfold, man, and see the world as it really is: godless. It's really okay here. The water's fine.
