I grew up in East Texas and now resides in San Antonio. I am the grandson of a Pentecostal preacher and have a sister who is a born again Christian. I am also the proud father of a twelve year old daughter. I studied for my AA while living in Seattle, focusing on mathematics, journalism and philosophy.

I have been a member of the online atheist community for over ten years.

What do Black Sabbath, Beyonce and Benjamin Franklin all have in common? They’ve all been accused of producing evil music. Claims of Satanic music go back long before the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, and are still with us today. Such claims only serve to stereotype theists as bumbling idiots.

Many Muslims claim Muhammad was illiterate and thus the Quran must be divine. These Muslims claim that if no one is able to produce something like what is found in the Quran, that the Quran must be from Allah. But what criteria are used to judge those who attempt to meet this challenge? What does the Quran itself say about the challenge? Does the challenge itself even make sense?
