Religious Apologetics: So Easy Even an Atheist Can Do It

The apologetic defense of religion is so illusive and illogical that it is a basic mental default; a remnant left over from the mystical and superstitious childhood years fed and modified by the professional (paid) clergy. The rush to lock a young mind into a god complex is the main goal of all denominations, sects and cults. The old Catholic maxim “Given be a child to the age of twelve and I’ll give you a Catholic for life.” can also be seen in fervent missionary movements especially in the LDS Mormons, who, like the Blues Brothers Jake and Elroy, are “on a mission from God”.


Those who have remained religious have commented here at DC representing one of two Positions:

The Deist and Theist Position: Easiest to defend since there is no religion or cult attached to it and this position draws in many agnostics.

Without a Bible, there are very little, if any dogmas or doctrines to defend, and, thus very little emotionalism (if any) is found here. All one need do here is take a past event and say, “It’s of god!”

A good Comparison would be: “A cat died. God killed it.” When this cat lived and how it died are not relevant to this apologetic defense. The debate is simply, “It’s of god". (An example here is our agnostic commenter Charlie.)

The Biblical Religionist Position: This apologetic defense is associated with an established belief usually either Judaism or Christianity. Unlike the Deist or Theist position, some form of salvation is involved in that since God is now personal and has a plan for all his creation (especially humans), thus he demands morals and ethics.

These apologists usually feel empowered by the Holy Spirit and debate believing that religious truth is singular and orthodox. This position has an evangelical goals in mind, usually viewing Jesus as a personal savior and God as a “Heavenly Father”. (An example here is our fundamentalist commenter Rick.)

Finally, no matter how much time John, Evan, or Lee puts into writing a very logical argument, the apologetics that defends this illusive God are still just as un-phased as the magical and religious Ouija Board which spells out the future and the unseen world for its believers despite logical fact against it for the last 120 years.

So, just how would an atheist defend God? Easy! An ancient nonfunctioning entity is so illusive, it simply defies logic. As such, any illogical mental construct that is pro god is good to go!

Simply remove the Bible and the Biblical Religionist position becomes the Deist / Theist position. Remove the illusive term “god’ and the Ouija Board now has all the answers.
