Militant Atheism and Logical Fallacies
If you live in a cave by yourself, you would firstly not be reading this, and secondly you would not have a noticed a significant increase in adherents to a religion commonly known as "Atheism".
Evangelism has been the main work of Christians through the ages, however, today there are many "Militant" Atheists bent on soul winning for the god of random chance and purpose-less existance. And the only reason they can speak in public so freely in this way, is thanks to an established Christian morality that Atheists are sitting in the "lap" of. While they slap the face of that Christian morality all the day long. Perhaps they should try preaching the same philosophy in Saudi Arabia or in Iran and see what happens then.
Evangelical Brain and Southern Baptist Seminary President, Dr Albert Mohler has recently released another book (in quick succession with about 5 other books) dealing with the "New Atheism" called:
(Just over $10 at Koorong or Word in Adelaide, or if your the online shopping type, go here: Atheism Remix)
At first glance a Christian may get a little worried about this Evangelistic Atheism that has had the likes of Richard Dawkins bring his bubonic plague of irrational philosophy to the shores of Australia earlier this year. However, when you actually hear the arguements put forth, there is a sweet calm in the air! In fact Richard Dawkins uses about three "Logical Fallacies" in answering this question:
The sader thing [listening to the clapping] in this clip is that people actually think that was an answer to the young ladies question! It is unbelievable how illogical many minds have become in our society today. Yet these are the sorts of answers and arguements that Atheists use!
James Patrick Holding from Tektonics, has compiled a HUGE list of arguements that Atheists use, including many that are just for fun, but also many that are actually used by Atheists and Agnostics too.
Here is a sample (for the full list of 300 arguements click HERE [some are very funny]):
ARGUMENT FROM NUMBERS
1. Millions and millions of people don’t believe in God.
2. They can't all be wrong, can they?
3. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
ARGUMENT FROM AMERICAN EVANGELISM
1. Telling people that God exists makes some televangelists filthy rich.
2. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (I)
1. I define God to be X.
2. Since I cannot conceive of X, X must not exist.
3. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.
It is interesting how there really isn't a grain of logic used in many of these arguements. And I personally think it is okay to use a bit of satire to refute the clear and abvious sillyness of the Atheist Philosophy. Maybe you have some good apologetics you might like to add in the comments below.
