Those are some astoundingly weak essays. It looks like all their most popular stuff is hatchet jobs on Islam but they also have some tepid attempts to critique a few "skeptics" like Richard Carrier and Earl Doherty. To their credit, they do post rebuttals. I might even send them something myself.

I find it interesting to see Pagels lumped in with Acharya S.

This is Mike Licona's apologestics site. I saw Mike Licona debate Richard Carrier - you can buy the DVD from a link at the top of this page or here. I was monumentally unimpressed with Licona. Stephen Carr seems to agree.

I glanced through one of the reviews of Richard Carrier, and it's the same ol' same ol' that we see here every day.

And I loved Richard's response to the "You just hate God" accusation:

I'm angry at someone I don't even think exists? That's like accusing me of being angry at Darth Vader.

Indeed. I skimmed a little bit of "Answering Dan Barker." It was pitiful.

I think they missed the point. THIS is where one answers Infidels.

Less abusive on the eyes and stomach than Tektonics, but with the same lack of substance.
