My Soapbox episodes

  • 8. Prove It
    Audio version of Chapter 6 of my book, "The Christian Contradiction." Topics include the problems with conflating faith with fact, why even religious claims must be backed by evidence and/or sound reasoning to demonstrate their truth and/or factual correctness, and how Judeo-Christian, Islamic faith is entirely selfish since all are centered on the belief in the illusory "self," the "me," or the ego at the heart of their faith claims. Also covered is the problem with the Bible's endorsement at worst, and non-condemnation at best of the institution of slavery.

  • 4. Contradictions and Double Standards
    Audio version of Chapter 2 of my book, "The Christian Contradiction." This chapter expands on why contradictions and double standards are always false, thereby invalidating virtually the whole of theistic thought which relies on contradictions, double standards and special pleading in their assertions of "truth."
