Intelligent atheist of the month is an otherwise anonymous 'Joe' who felt his communication was so important he had to send it three times. His pearls of wisdom: "jesus never existed you dumb m***** f*****"
Joe used the feedback form so I have no idea who he is. He didn't use asterisks, or any other punctuation for that matter. Nice to see that reasoned argument is still the exclusive purview of the non-believing community.
In other news, my wife and I are well and truly snowed in. We got the car to the end of the drive but then got stuck. It took a spade and kindly neighbour just to get our car back to our spot so we weren't blocking the road. This is the only occasion ever that I have pondered the virtues of a 4x4....

Welcome to Quodlibeta
The Latin word Quodlibeta means "whatever you like" and refers to the special occasions at medieval universities when the students (or clerks as they were known) could test their masters by asking any question they fancied. This blog is primarily concerned with religion, science, history and their interface. But like the medieval clerks, we reserve the right to post on anything we want.
Meet the Clerks
James Hannam
I am a historian of the relationship between science and religion, and also write on the UK tax system. My first book was published as God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science in the UK and The Genesis of Science: How the Christian Middle Ages Launched the Scientific Revolution in the US. My apologetics website is Bede's Library. I am also the author What Everyone Needs to Know about Tax and write about tax at my other blog. I can be found on Twitter as @DrJamesHannam.
Humphrey Clarke
I am a historian of a very middling and amateurish sort. Having taken a Masters in Modern History at the University of St Andrews (2004), I completed a law conversion course at Nottingham Law School and embarked upon what has been an exciting career in legal technology. My chief interests are in Twentieth Century History, Colonial America, Historiography and, most recently, the History of Science. I also write a satirical blog at The Diary of Humphrey Clarke. I hope my contributions to Quodlibeta capture something of the pleasure I get from trawling my dusty collection of second hand history books.
Jim S
I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Master's degrees in Philosophy and Theology. I'm a generalist, my areas of expertise being epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and science and religion. I did my philosophical studies in Continental Europe, and currently reside in the Pacific Northwest. I also write the Agent Intellect blog. In my mid-20s I decided to refute Christianity to set my conscience at ease. Two subjects I turned to in particular were science and philosophy. I accidentally argued myself into it.

Well I can vouch for the usefulness of 4X4 but then again I live in Canada :-)
Yes it's nice to know that rudeness and stupidity are not the monopoly of religious zealots. On the other hand I can't understand stand how you can recommend the "tektonics" website as too many of the articles written by "J.P. Holding" are nothing more than "ad hominem" attacks and not serious engagement of the issues raised. I am quite disappointed by your lack of discernment. Never mind the bit of not judging others, I think people like you need to call this fellow to task for his most unreasonable approach to apologetics.
