Must We Presuppose God to Account for Existence?

Religion

Religion is born of the same curiosity that led to philosophy and science, but it’s a premature birth due to an impatience for answers. Before people started figuring things out with philosophy and science, people made up a variety of answers, and these became various religions. The articles in this section are on the topic of religion, on various topics within religion, or on particular religions.

Why some Christians and Muslims should be Anti-Natalists

September 18, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 1 Comment

Anti-natalism is the position that procreation is morally wrong, and I believe that some Christians and Muslims should be anti-natalists. Let me stress the word some here. I specifically have in mind those Christians and Muslims who believe in eternal damnation in Hell.

September 17, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 1 Comment

I recently finished reading Infidel, the autobiography of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is a former Muslim who became an atheist. In reading this book, I found that she was someone I could relate to but also someone whose life was very different from my own.

There is no Eternal Damnation in Hell

June 18, 2015 by Fergus Duniho 10 Comments

Hell is understood here as a place of ceaseless torment, going on forever. Hell couldn’t exist without a being as powerful as God to maintain it. But even if God did exist, Hell would be incompatible with God’s goodness and justice. So, whether or not God exists, there is no Hell. Watch the video or read the article to learn why.

Matt Slick’s Transcendental Argument for God’s Existence

November 14, 2014 by Fergus Duniho Leave a Comment

The Transcendental argument maintains that eternal conceptual truths require the existence of an eternal mind, which is understood to be God. I maintain that eternal truths, such as the laws of logic, are part of the fabric of reality, not conceptual truths in the sense Matt Slick intends. Read the article to learn in more detail why the Transcendental argument fails to prove God’s existence.
