Recently Christian apologist Wintery Knight deleted my comments, banned me, and then passively accused me of some combination of supporting anti-war, pacifism, appeasement, and/or isolationism as well as being historically ignorant and governed by feelings. I wrote about this experience at “Is Wintery Knight a Snowflake?” and also specifically addressed …
Recently Christian apologist Wintery Knight made the claim that Iran is a threat. To America, Iran is a threat because it possesses the power to take lives and cause suffering. But, is Iran a threat to Christians? “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep …

I recently had the pleasure of a direct conversation with Athiest Bob Seidensticker. I previously wrote a two part refutation of his article on DNA-as-software, but had never had any direct interaction with the man.
