Case Against Faith
.
THE PREMIER SITE ON THE NET
for debunking Lee Strobel's "Case for..." apologetic series!



Caseagainstfaith.com provides critiques of Christian apologetics. Our Lee Strobel and Paul Copan detailed book critiques will open your eyes to the implausibility of the Christian religion.  Also included is information on what atheism is, and what it means to be an atheist.  Below are links to this site's primary articles.  Supplemental articles and other materials available from the navigation  menu above and the sitemap.  Check out my YouTube channel.

Lee Strobel's *The Case for the Real Jesus*

Critique of Lee Strobel's latest, The Case for the Real Jesus.

Critique of Lee Strobel's *The Case for Faith*

This site's centerpiece article.  This current version is almost a complete rewrite over its original version.  Refer to revision history page for information on current revisions.  Readers who had not read this article recently are encouraged to reread it.  Includes response to Tektonics' "refutation", and my continuing debate with Mr. Holding.  See the Debates page.

Another Case Not Made - *Case for Creator*

As a companion to the Case for Faith critique, I now have a critique of The Case for a Creator.

Earl Doherty on *The Case for Christ*

Excerpts from Earl Doherty's Challenging the Verdict, which is a commentary on Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ.

Taylor Carr on *The Case for Christ*

Another critique of Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ, by fellow skeptic Taylor Carr.

Historical Methods:  A Primer

I am a layman on the subject.  But, I have read enough on the subject to know that most Christians do not have any idea how historical methods work.  I rely upon introductory textbook to give the reader a simple primer on the subject.

Atheism, Agnosticism, & Pascal's Wager

The two most common themes I receive in e-mails from Christians and other theists are these two claims:

  1. Atheism is untenable, to know for certain there is no God would require complete knowledge of everything.
  2. It is better to believe than to disbelieve because the risk of disbelieving is too great.  Why risk going to hell?

Here are my answers to these issues.

Paul Copan's Untenable Interpretations

Paul Copan's That's Just Your Interpretation covers some of the same ground as Lee Strobel's The Case for Faith, and also covers many other topics.  I suspect most Christians would find them complementary works.  Here are my thoughts on this book.
