Letters of Correspondence

by Anton Thorn

Below are links to letters I have written in past correspondence with both Christians and non-Christians pertaining to certain topics of atheological interest. Where possible, I include their responses.

Individual Correspondence with Christians:              

Presuppositionalist Circularities: Read my response to Cornelius Van Til's open admission of his advocacy of fallacious reasoning as a means of defending Christianity.

Grease Remover: Watch an aspiring presuppositionalist slip on a floor he should not have waxed so hard. Some real entertainment value in this one!

Religion Wears a Bloody Glove: This is a letter which addresses a very important issue often intentionally misunderstood and misrepresented by religionists today. That issue is the claim that atheism leads to life-annihilating totalitarian regimes as exemplified in infamous 20th century dictatorships.

What the Buck? Read my response to a Christian who took exception to my claim that I was in fact a practicing Christian at one point in my life.

An Aborted Rise to Challenge: This is the record of my correspondence with a Christian who boasted that he could answer all the questions in my Christian Questionnaire. So, where are his answers?

How to Make Striped and Spotted Offspring? This letter focuses on the problem of Genesis chapter 30, in which we read that the color patterns of the hides of livestock could be manipulated by controlling the visual environment in which the livestock feed and water themselves. Now this is Christian science!

A Lesson on the Issue of Metaphysical Primacy This letter was written in response to a Christian who wanted some clarification on a statement I made in my essay The Byron-Choi Dilemma. While a bit technical in nature, I've tried to make my points clear and concise.

A Relationship with Jesus? A young Christian visited my site and had some questions about my experience as a Christian believer. Take a look at some of my answers to her questions.

Observations Do Christian apologists automatically have an upper hand over the non-believer? Not if he remains loyal to reason and does not allow reason to be compromised by unnecessary dichotomies and stolen concepts.

Letter to an Evangelist A comprehensive response to a tract-like letter forwarded to me by a visitor to my website. Numerous issues are covered in this piece, including the illicit desire for infallibility, the nature of emotions, the virtue of pride versus the lust for the unearned, and the soul-body dichotomy. Includes a contents list with internal links.
