Ross Douthat claims that Catholic "miracles" are a rational basis for religious belief, but those supposed miracles include a magic foreskin of Jesus, which 31 different Christian churches claimed to have as a religious artifact. Miracles are crass lies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The intellectual caliber of Ross Douthat is indicated by his suggestion in Chapter 3 of his book Believe that ghosts must be real, and God must be real, because a man fixed a radio, and then later, the radio worked. It's really that idiotic. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/repa...

When Ross Douthat tries to twist physics into an argument for Christian Creationism, he ends up making the Christian god into a minor weakling who must obey a mathematical order that preceded the god's existence. And who made that? Douthat doesn't even think to ask that.

Ross Douthat argues that the Christian god is not all-powerful after all, but is a wimp who is unable to defy mathematics. Ross Douthat's fine tuning argument is crude and sloppy. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/cosm...

Ross Douthat argues that 1) People should believe in religion because fairies & genies & demons are literally real 2) Religion is all about a well-ordered universe of unbroken rules You can't have it both ways, Ross Douthat. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/supe...

Ross Douthat, in his book Believe, argues that it's rational to belong to a church because ghosts really do haunt people and genies are real, and demons will get you if you don't go to church. Why does anyone take Ross Douthat seriously? www.stopchristiannationalism.com/douthat/beli...

Animals Are Not Machines, Ross Douthat — Stop Christian Nationalism

Ross Douthat says that it’s common sense to look at animals as if they are machines that are produced in a workshop by a supernatural spirit. No one has ever seen such a thing taking place.

Worship of a god with absolute power leads to worship of politicians seeking absolute power. There is a direct line between monotheism and totalitarianism and the Christian fascism of Donald Trump. www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Wo...

Emotional Freedom Techniques - also known as EFT tapping - is a gimmick used by scammers to take advantage of gullible people. Tapping your face doesn't bring you money or love or mental health. Be good to yourself. Walk away from EFT tapping scams.

Don't become a victim of EFT tapping scams. Tapping your face and mumbling affirmations won't make you rich, won't make you mentally healthy, won't get rid of that bad boyfriend. Emotional Freedom Therapy is New Age mumbo jumbo. Don't fall for it. Get genuine professional help.

The benefits of EFT tapping in the Emotional Freedom Therapy are remarkably... nonexistent. It's empty faith healing. Don't fall for this gimmick. You can't tap your way to health. You already know this is a scam. You're smarter than EFT.

EFT Tapping is a MANIFESTATION of mental illness, not a treatment for it. Obsessively tapping your face and muttering is not a reliable pathway to mental health. Buyer beware: Emotional Freedom "Therapy" is a New Age gimmick, not a science-based practice.

The US government has jumped headfirst into insanity. Under Pete Hegseth, the US military will now subject soldiers to religious tests of their "spiritual fitness". This comes from a military that insists that bombing a school full of children was perfectly fine. ffrf.org/news/release...
