There is nothing inherently wrong with being over 60 or senior in general. The problem is that if someone has been spending their retirement years trolling for a decade at least, that indicates a...

Mr Ray is promoting a fallacy promoted too frequently by the religious that the atheist position must be based on some form of (often not well defined) scientism, and therefore to maintain the...

Keep in mind that Charlie has drank too much of the poisoned Kool-Aid. I'm sure he will not listen to us. He must first listen to others more liberal than he is before he will ever listen to...

Also let's not let the apologist reverse the actual causal order. Science demonstrated that there is no need for invoking gods to explain any phenomenon that can be detected and...

Modern science has popularized a view of the cosmos that suggests there is no need for God and denies any evidence of His existence. Dan Ray from his website,

It's been futile...

Good points, Daniel! However, this is not the place to take on low hanging fruit, as we aim for higher quality fruit, if you know what I mean. Cheers!

I mean the guy is over 60
As a guy over 60 I frequently use that devastating riposte when I argue with myself.

Matt Dillahunty tore him a new one on The Atheist Experience and he was permanently banned from ever calling back.

I'm sorry, Daniel Ray is not an ex-Mormon. He is an ex-nonbeliever, as he puts it. Still, if he rejects Mormonism he should also reject Christianity.
