Who we are

We are Trolling with Logic (TWL) also pronounced "Tool" for short.

A weekly skeptical podcast with an irreverent sense of humour. We've changed and evolved over the years in ways that would have Darwin spinning so fast in his grave angular momentum would phone in to complain. We currently focus on skepticism with a pop culture angle, looking at the science behind our favorite media.

In addition, we also undertake movie and TV review from those sublime cinematic masterpieces to those productions that make Tommy Wiseau look like Stanley Kubrik.

So join our team of Nathan the Journalist, Cal the Engineer, Kitch the Biologist and Out resident Innuendo maestro, Jenn.

Refutation of “Christ Revealed” docu-series Ep. 8

I apologize to my readers for posting this SUPER late. I started the review of this docu-series about 2 months ago, yet when I just had 2 more to do, several things came up and I got really sidetracked. And for that, I apologize. Unfortunately, this is going to be a very short review…. because there is nothing substantial in […]

15 More Reasons SJ can’t do History

I’ve made several blog posts refuting SJ “Twitter Apologist” blogs. Most of them were mainly regarding history because SJ has no qualifications in History whereas I have a BA in History. So when I see a lot of errors and sloppy work done in my field, like a doctor coming across another blog claiming vaccines cause autism (spoiler alert: they […]

SJ Fails at Archaeology and History

SJ the “Twitter Apologist” just loves and loves to retweet the same blog again and again. Well, at some point, someone has to clean up the mess and it might as well be yours truly. In her blog SJ tries to make the case that there is archeological and historical evidence to validate Christianity and Jesus Christ. History is my […]

Critical Analysis of “Atheism Kills” by Barak Lurie

It wasn’t all that long ago that pastors all across the USA were saying that homosexuality was the greatest threat to America, even more so then communism. There was the Satanic Panic. And of course, the Red Scare. And there is an American lawyer in Los Angeles who is still living in that era, using fear and propaganda as a […]

Science Moms: Fighting Fear with Facts and Empathy

Science Moms is a short but important documentary that provides a calm, measured, evidence-based response to the many irrational, anti-science narratives that try to sell fear to parents and which are perpetuated by groups like Moms Across America and by individuals like Zen Honeycutt and Vani Hari (aka the “Food Babe”). The brainchild of Natalie Newell, one of the hosts […]

The Passion of the Christ: Torture, Anti-Semitism, and Ideological Fantasy

During the filming of Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie The Passion of the Christ, the actor portraying the character of Jesus (Jim Caviezel) was struck by lightning twice, in two separate incidents and in two separate places. Apparently the filmmakers, most of whom were Catholic, did not take the hint. The movie was finished and released to the public on Ash […]

Doing It Wrong: Addressing Common Anti-Porn Arguments

1. Introduction: Opening Up and Revealing Pornography has elicited at least as many heated words as it has orgasms. While the etymology of the word is clear and uncontroversial, defining pornography in a clear and unambiguous way has proven difficult. The word derives from the Greek compound porne (“prostitute”) and graphos (“to write”).[1] This compound word denoted “the depiction of […]

Guest Post: The Fascinating World of Ghosthunting

This is a guest post written by Niels Böge Nothdurft from Denmark. Long before I learned about critical thinking and became a skeptic I was fascinated by all kinds of what I would call woo today. That fascination hasn’t stopped, just my perspective on it. One of the things that fascinated me a lot – and still does – is […]

I Was a Teenage Apologist: My Journey from Christianity to Atheism

“Do not demand that your belief [in a personal God] be reasonable. You will be threatened with the loss of your faith. You may well lose your faith. Those who have lost their faith in God are generally those who have felt the need for good reasons, for evidence, for argument. Better that you should take as your slogan ‘credo […]
