  1. Today
  2. Oh ok. The name Beetlejuice is spoken three times over the course of this series. Immediately after the third time, a familiar figure can be seen in the background, walking past. *** One of the characters apparently realizes he's on a TV show and makes reference to its upcoming cancelation.
  3. "Africa" by Toto? Or, is it that guy standing behind the curtain, some Wizard from Oz. The Wizard of Oz. "It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice really? Get busy living or get busy dying"
  4. Yesterday
  5. You'll find that is a common theme in these articles. The atheist was declared the loser of the debate without a single example of a failed argument or a successful rebuttal, based on the response of a single person. Oh well.
  6. Lots of words but not much said in the way of information. it's more of a glimpse at the inner thoughts of individual characters. Well, that's OK, I suppose, but I didn't really learn anything about the topic, itself.
  7. The article does show that atheists can change their beliefs and become a Christians just as Christians can change their beliefs and become an atheist. Quotes of Nieto from the article: “I’m really into philosophy, and when I started hearing Eric talk, he was pointing out things I’d never thought about before." “Eric was hitting me with the concepts and philosophies that Aron didn’t know about." "I’m so glad I never gave up and threw myself into the fire of philosophy to learn more.” ("Fire of philosophy" here does not come with a definition. Google offers some but who knows if they are what Nieto meant.) “I’ve come to the conclusion that Christianity is the only way I’m going to make an impact, spread the truth and try to save the world." (Common Christian talk) “I feel like I have a different mission in life, and that’s to go down that philosophical road and keep looking for God.” ~~~~~~~~~ Hernandez has done a couple of debates about the "soul" and one of the Texas Baptists' statements of belief is that they believe in "Soul competency, accountability, and responsibility." Without learning more about how Hernandez integrates philosophy into Christianity, it's impossible to know why Nieto says Hernandez answered his questions about spiritual matter and the soul that no church had ever been able to do.
  8. I thought at least one of those would have been obvious.

  9. Into the mind of a convert. Not really impressive to me, but your thoughts may vary.
  10. Ronald Reagan's personal argument for intelligent design. Please note this is not a political discussion. Read the article before commenting, and stick to the topic as raised WITHOUT venturing into the political angle.
  11. Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist. Menu Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist JUNE 5, 2024 | SOURCE: TEXAS BAPTISTS Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health, struck up a long-distance friendship with Daniel Nieto at a time when Nieto considered himself an atheist. (Texas Baptists Photo) Teresa Young SHARE THIS ARTICLE FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailShare After deciding the church didn’t have answers to his many questions about spiritual matters and the soul, Daniel Nieto declared himself an atheist at age 15. From that point, he dove into YouTube video debates between Christians and atheists, never encountering anyone who could change his opinion. “My favorite debaters were atheists, and they made sense to me at the time. I knew there were geniuses who were Christians, but I felt like they were wrong,” said Nieto, a 32-year-old resident of Bakersfield, Calif. “I was debating online all the time, but no one could answer my questions.” In late 2021, Nieto watched a debate between Aron Ra, an atheist activist, and Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health. Expecting the same results he always had experienced—Christians with weak arguments being blown away by the strong-spoken atheists—Nieto was surprised to see the opposite outcome. “I’m really into philosophy, and when I started hearing Eric talk, he was pointing out things I’d never thought about before. It blew my mind a little, and I feel like Aron embarrassed himself in that debate,” recalled Nieto, noting he watched the debate at least a dozen times.
  12. I will be using this thread to highlight the daily alerts I get from Google on the subject of atheism. I will share links, along with thoughts, on articles that pop up, UNLESS those articles force a discussion of politics. The topics raised by each article is fair game for exploration and discussion. The source of the articles are also fair Gane in determining whether they are trustworthy or biased. If you believe I let a political topic slip in, report it or let me know and I will delete it.

  18. "The way that you hold me whenever you hold me, there's some kind of magic inside you that keeps me from running, but just keep it comin'. How'd you learn to do the things you do?"
  19. "I got married to the widow next door, she's been married seven times before."
