Hot-diggity-dang! 


The Advocatus Atheist has now received over 200,000 page views! 


That's a lot. My first reaction was, literally, "Are you kidding me?"

Especially considering that I'm nobody all that special. Who cares what I have to say? I'm just some guy who blogs about religion, philosophy, science and stuff. But hey, I'll take it as a compliment. Heck, I'll even take all the trivial views I get for posting hot lesbians kissing. Why not?  After all, all is fair in love and blogging. Or is that the love of blogging? 

Anyway, I truly appreciate the interest in this blog and the continued readership--even as my blogging has fallen off as of late. I have novels to write and deadlines to meet, but I haven't thrown in the towel. Not by a long shot. As long as their are religious wackos, crazies, and brain-dead morons out there... this blog will have a voice. So thank you for your support and here's to the next 100,000!

Gratitude!

Discussing the Historicity of Jesus with a Christian Agnostic

Steven Jake, the author of the up and coming blog  TheChristian Agnostic , [1]  wrote a rather thorough response to my lengthy comment asking him about the state of the evidence regarding the historical Jesus. I am pleased he took the time to write a thorough response. I only feel that such a thorough response deserves my own more detailed response as my initial comment was merely that—a comment. So without further ado I will address some of Steven Jake’s comments and concerns. Initially Steven Jake (henceforth SJ) posted a quote from New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman claiming that there is an abundance of evidence for a historical Jesus. I merely contested this claim asking for what evidence we have that would be considered historically reliable. As I see it there is none. That doesn’t mean, however, I don’t think there  wasn’t  a historical Jesus, just that we cannot prove if there was or wasn’t and so I remain agnostic as to the historicity of Jesus—not a mythicist

Conflating Atheism and Agnosticism is a Mistake

Image
In a discussion over at Bud's blog Dead Logic , a reader asked a question I have been hearing more and more recently. It's a good question, so I thought I would do my part to try and answer it. Doesn't admitting to being an agnostic instead of an atheist FEEL like you're being wishy-washy, or not fully committing to your "belief"? ... I understand that it's only honest to say that we CAN'T be sure, but I sure do hate to show weakness (real or perceived) in an argument. Not at all.  Agnosticism deals with knowledge.  Atheism deals with belief.  The Agnostic position cannot assume whether a thing like a God could exist or not given the lack of sheer evidence for such a things existence. Therefore knowing with any given certainty just isn't possible. The agnostic then makes the claim that a definitive answer with regard to "knowing" of God's existence cannot be given either way. Atheism, however, can state with assurance t
