Atheist Pocket Debater for Negative User Reviews

✓ EfficientCovers all the basic topics.Aban1990Version: 2.1

✓ DisappointingThe arguments are often childish, and even where correct, not well presented. These might do if you are debating with the dimwits who may knock on your door to tell you "the good news", but will come across as naïve when having a discussion with anyone with a more sophisticated take on things. In many places it takes a straw man approach, arguing against a version of Christianity that isn't really believed by many followers (e.g., the doctrine of "love me or burn"). In other places (historical Jesus) it doesn't reflect the best of research. The text formatting, particularly the use of underlining for emphasis, is just one example of the poor visual design. As an atheist, I'm not sure whether to be happy or chagrined that people have found this useful. I guess am glad that it has had a positive (from my perspective) effect; but I think that it reflects poorly on the level of discussion that these arguments are have been found valuable..AumtnVersion: 2.1

✓ UnintelligentFar too many straw-man approaches at the Bible. I find flaws i'n all his arguments, first and most obvious is his defense of evolution. He states that evolution is "not only a fact, but a scientific theory." That statement is repugnant, if it was a fact, based on evidence, then we could prove it, and would no longer call it a theory. The FACT that we cannot prove it's process is why it is theory. Scientific theory is different than music theory, contrary to the authors own explanation;) Evolution is explained as random mutations, which is unscientific, it hasn't been observed, also unscientific, and man has yet to recreate or force evolution of a species in a controlled environment. Failing all 3 criteria for a scientific process, I would like to know where the facts come from, certainly not the 99.9% of the scientific community that believe in the theory, or was that statistic also a lie, you'll have to open your minds and actually research these things on your own, or remain ignorant to the facts. There is more empirical evidence to prove Jesus raised Himself from the dead than the THEORY of specific evolution..Tyler Demerath-ClarkVersion: 0

✓ Just use Wikipedia.Very small amount of content, not even referenced. Sorry, but this is just a quick buck and not a good representation of atheism..StatueOfUsVersion: 2.1

✓ A good startThis app could grow into a useful resource over time but I was hoping for something more complete and comprehensive for the price (which is high for an iPhone app). I hope the updates keep flowing.GhostTrailsVersion: 0

✓ Not worth the money.Anyone who is an atheist has already heard most of these arguments or uses them in regular debate. It's nice to have a quick reference guide but you really need to lower the price. Minus one star for every dollar it's overpriced by..WynteRainVersion: 2.1

✓ Not a debater.More a explanation of basic Atheist views Most if not all of this very basic and limited information would of course be common knowledge to your average Atheist with a modicum of intellect !! For the money? A poor app ! Perhaps the promised updates will make this at the very least. Interesting..NancypapaVersion: 0

✓ Distinctly averageTo be honest, I expected more for the money. Even Jesus would feel ripped off... :-).JohnnyRingoVersion: 0

✓ A little basic for the priceI realize the goal is to fit intelligent arguments into a small app but it's not that well written, content titled or organised. For half the price it would be better. However still worth supporting for a Skeptic..JrotheryVersion: 2.1

✓ Dumbed down dawkinsIf you couldn't understand the god delusion this is for you. It's overly simplistic, and I expected more for the price but a good start..Wwxd85Version: 0

✓ Waste of moneyArguments way too simplistic/basic/infantile... No good content for the money. Creationist claims index way better, and free! Wish I'd read these reviews before purchasing..DaveM1983Version: 2.1

✓ PLEASE UPDATE!Please update..GXT!Version: 2.2.1

✓ WeakAuthor/creator could've put more work and effort into this. I feel this was just an half-baked effort to sell an app. There are some insights, but nothing you can't find free on the internet like irochariots.org, atheist debates by Matt Dillahunty etc, the many blogs and YouTube videos available. The App is basically just a bunch of rich text files with basic formatting, probably written on MS word, stitched together. I think it's a bit of a rip off especially for the price. Expected much more and very disappointed..TnyLeVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Very weak, uninformed."At least hell will have rockn' music"... Seriously?... Most of the author's points are atheism 101, and are presented with a weak understanding of Christianity. As a brief but fundamental example, the author states that God is not just because he forgives criminals if they except Jesus and doesn't punish them for their crimes. But the author fails to address the Christian concepts of grace (yes, God is not just towards the criminals) and atonement (yes, God is just in that no sin goes unpunished.) If you want to debate baby Christians this app might be useful, but against someone who understands their faith and theology well this app will be of little value..J0sh6725Version: 2.1

✓ Needs MORE contentI enjoyed reading it. I actually read the whole thing in a few hours. Lots of good ideas and talking points. My criticism is that each subject could be improved and MORE content provided. I think more content,talking points, etc are needed. I understand the author has a Christian background, but need more topics to specifically address other religions. For example, I grew up Christian now Atheist, my husband raised Muslim now Atheist. Would love more talking points catering to debates with Muslims, and Hindus, wiccans etc... Needs to be a "universal" atheist debater not heavy to just Christianity. Good read though!.JuneRuneVersion: 0

✓ Room for improvementA useful application for anyone interested in debating with Christians. Would be improved if all assertions, such as the emotional immaturity of the biblical god, were referenced to book and verse. This would allow for quick and easy verification when debating. Many 'christians' have never read the bible and will accuse someone making many of these pointed statements of making it up. The person you might convince to question their belief, might not want to hang around for you trawl through 100s of pages for the proof. Looking forward to an update with full referencing of all statements..Nigel RoperVersion: 0

✓ Very weak.This app does a disservice to both thoughtful atheists and Christians alike. Better arguments can be found for atheism, and the straw-man Christianity these arguments attack is a joke. There can be a strong point made for either side, but all this app does is confirms what a an immature atheist already believes and lulls them into a sleepy superiority complex. To assume your intellectual opponent is stupid is always a bad idea. Always deal with the strongest form of an ideology, not it's weakest. One example of the poor quality of this app is it's treatment of Pascals wager. The wager is not an argument for God. Pascal merely Dias that if one had examined all the evidence and was in completely neutral stance, it makes sense to wager on God's existence, which is only reasonable. I doubt there is ever really a situation where this comes into play, and Christians who use this as a defense of their beliefs are failing at life. They are probably half to blame for this kind of thinking in the first place..RaindogDKVersion: 0

✓ Good, bad, ugly...Good content, needs an update, god damn ugly interface. (No update since 2010! C'mon!!).MyootinyVersion: 2.1

✓ Would have been ok if it was 99c or free.It's nowhere near worth $2:99. Spend a few dollars more and get the book The God Delusion by Dawkins instead. Wayyy more info, and better arguments put forward. I am disappointed in this. :(.CarolTaskerVersion: 2.1

✓ Roped offThis is garbage. Such limited content. Save your money. I really wish Apple would refund you once you realized how bad an app was after 10 seconds..Adrian1111Version: 2.1
