The Dunning-Kruger Effect Strikes Again!

This article deals with the Dunning-Kruger Effect and how a atheistic fundamentalist pundit David G. McAfee is a likely candidate of a case of it. It should be noted here that I do not mean this as an insult. Rather, this accusation is so often bandied about in these discussions that I thought it worth showing what would be needed to substantiate the claim that someone is a likely candidate of DKE more than simply, "You're biased so you must have DKE!!!"

The New Atheism and Pelagian Paganism

In this episode, I discuss an epiphany that I had while listening to a debate between Dan Barker and Dinesh D'Souza on the kind of Christianity that atheists often rail against. It struck me that Dan Barker was an explicitly Pelagian Pagan and that he thinks that that just is what Christianity is and was to him.
