Case Against Faith
Caseagainstfaith is a popular poster on infidelguy.com, and also the name of a website he created to debunk people like Lee Stroebel and defend atheism.
http://www.caseagainstfaith.com/
Case recently wrote an excellent article concerning G. Brady Lenardos' analysis of historical methodology concerning 'jesus' claims

Recently Lenardos attempted a reply, which is available here:

I hope people will take a look at his site, because he does a great expose concerning how theists like Lenardos misuse methods of analyses from English Literary History to defend their arguments! What is more interesting is that Case demonstrates that these own methods actually contradict much of what Lendardos says!
Do take a look, and I hope to talk to some of you about this....I suggest starting with the first article, and then the rebuttal, (of course)
"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'

What about this site, www.atheistempire.com .
It's a classic projection of their own flaws... they recognize deep down that taking things on faith is immature and embarassing, so they have to make it out that everyone else takes things on faith as well....
To simply admit that their belief is irrational is too difficult.... so in the mind of some theists, it's better to tear down everyone else rather than face up to their own flaw.
This is precisely why I love seeing these type of attacks from theists.... even they are admitting that taking things on faith is irrational... it's just that they can't bring themselves to admit that the problem lies within themselves... so they project it out onto someone else, so that it's safe to say what they really feel about faith: that it's puerile.
PS And this is why the theist's arguments are so bad..... they must subjugate reason to fit under the irrational rubric of faith.... they must resist actually learning about the things they argue over: science, logic, because to actually learn the truth would obliterated their faith. So, free them of this servile existence, and their reasoning may improve.

Well, since this thread is about yours truly, I figured I stick in a plug for my latest, and I presume final, forth edition of my critique of Lee Strobel's _The Case for Faith_. This latest edition is currently only available on the Secular Web, not my site. I'm out of the country, and don't have my web tools on my laptop to update my site.
So, if interested, here is the latest:

P.S. Since this is, at the time of writing, my 42nd post here, it must mean my paper is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

Ah, thanks for posting! The original reason for this thread was to discuss your work, so I'm glad we returned to that.

I'm finally back in the ol' U S of A, so I've updated my site with the forth edition.

Hey case, nice to see you again. There's a theist on the board right now who suggested strobel as a great example of a rational argument for theism! I sent him to your site straight off....

I'll go poking around looking for the thread. But if I don't find it, can you send me a link?
