Arguments against hardcore Christian beliefs:
Alternative interpretations of the Bible
(including Jesus's non-fulfillment of Messianic prophecies)
- Judaism vs. Christianity's "Messianic prophecies"
- Islam vs. Christianity
- The extra-terrestrial hypothesis
- Judaism vs. Christianity's "Messianic prophecies"
Christians traditionally claim that Jesus fulfilled various "Old Testament" prophecies about the Jewish Messiah. But did he? Let's listen to what some Jews (and some goy ex-Christians) have to say on this matter.
- Jews for Judaism -- a Jewish site critiquing "Jews for Jesus" and other "Messianic Jews." See especially their FAQ, Knowledge Base, and Library.
- Outreach Judaism
- MessiahPage.com
- The Messiah Truth Project and Jews for Moses by Rav Misha J. Berglin
- Australian Anti-Missionary Web Site, including a large collection of links
- List of pages on the Biblical Errancy site. A non-Jewish ex-Christian refutes the idea that Jesus fits the Jewish Messianic prophecies.
- Things We Didn't Find Out in Sunday School -- another non-Jewish ex-Christian refutation of alleged prophecy fulfillment
- Correcting the New Testament Version of Judaism by Yakov Leib haKohain on Kheper

Alas, Judaism, like both Christianity and Islam, has its share of very dangerous hardcore fanatics. So, it's also interesting to read some counter-apologetics against hardcore Orthodox Judaism by Jews who left same.
- Judaism on Secular Web (Internet Infidels). See especially Schlomi Tal's articles.

- Islam vs. Christianity
Muslim apologists make a lot of claims that parallel the claims of Christian apologists. Why, then, should one believe Christianity rather than Islam? Also, Pascal's wager is as good an argument for Islam as it is for Christianity. (It's a lousy argument for either.)
Here's a site defending Islam and critiquing Christianity:
Later, when I get around to it, I'll try to find other, similar sites by Muslims.
Here also are some sites critiquing Islam. After all, my aim not to convert people to Islam.
- Islam and the Koran, in Issue 105, Issue 106, Issue 107, and Issue 159 of Biblical Errancy
- Faith Freedom International -- a site by ex-Muslims
- Islam on Secular Web (Internet Infidels). See also Pascal's Wager.

- The extra-terrestrial hypothesis
Note: I personally do NOT believe in the idea that the gods are humanlike extra-terrestrial life forms. Nevertheless, some poeple have reported using this idea, with great success, to deconvert fundies.
- The articles on UFO's and religion on this page on the Luciferian Liberation Front site. Note that the LLF site is hosted on the website of the Ministry of Truth, affiliated with the Church of the Subgenius, one of the best-known parody religions.
- More later (under construction)
Note, however, that some Christians believe that purported ET's are really demons. For more about their beliefs, see some of the sites listed under the heading Nephilim on my page about Satan, "ha-satan," Lucifer, and the Nephilim.
