Atheist Author Michael Sherlock Afraid to Debate Sacerdotus

Many so called atheists out there love to make themselves appear as experts in many fields. They arrogantly parade themselves online believing to hold the answers that refute God and religion.  These believe they can stump any theist.

However, many of these have encountered me and ran off afraid to engage me in a debate. From 'Rosa Rubicondior' whose real name is Esther Harrison

and others; these self-proclaimed 'experts' in atheism and 'leaders' of atheism have challenged me and ran off out of cowardice after experiencing what I am capable of.

Well we can add another charlatan to that list. His name is Michael Sherlock who portrays himself as an atheist author.

This time, he invited me to debate him. I usually invite atheists.

Here are the tweets he sent me:

@Sacerdotus I have a trimester break in February. If you'd like a live debate then, I'd be happy to accommodate you.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

@Sacerdotus I'd be happy to debate your beliefs with you. Do you accept? Live debate in Feb.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

@Sacerdotus Let me know.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

@Sacerdotus @TakeThatHistory Why don't you debate me and let's see who knows your religion the best.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

I accepted the invitation and asked him to email me to set it up:

Email me. I can set up the Sacerdotus Hangouts broadcast so you can promote it. @sherlockmichael

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) December 21, 2015

He even claimed that I would back out:

@Sacerdotus I have a feeling you will back out.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

I told him that I do not back out and was waiting for him to contact me since he said he had free time during a semester:

I seldom back out. I messaged you and you have not responded, see: https://t.co/walkL7J5zH @sherlockmichael

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 6, 2016

@Sacerdotus I love being proved wrong.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) December 3, 2015

I asked him to email me to set the debate up, he never did:

Email me. I can set up the Sacerdotus Hangouts broadcast so you can promote it. @sherlockmichael

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) December 21, 2015

I pressed him on it asking if he got cold feet:

I have not heard from you via email. Did you get cold feet? @sherlockmichael

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 7, 2016

His reply showing his stalling:

@Sacerdotus Grow up. I have a very busy life. This may be your main event, but it is certainly not mine.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) January 7, 2016

I replied:

Being a student is not a busy life. I work for the Catholic Church. It does not get more busier than that. Be professional @sherlockmichael

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 7, 2016

I press him to follow through with the debate again since February was approaching:

When are you using your freedom of speech to follow through with the debate by emailing me? https://t.co/yx9UiJWgL8

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 11, 2016

He replies again stalling making excuses:

@Sacerdotus Let's see. I have 2 children, work, studies, an upcoming conference to attend...so how about a little patience.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) January 11, 2016

Once again I press him to follow through with the debate:

Busy to answer me via email for the debate YOU wanted, but free to post this nonsense? Makes sense https://t.co/P7C9MvD5NC

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 16, 2016

He replies again stalling and making excuses:

@Sacerdotus I have a few minutes of downtime. I find you to be rather rude and childish. I have politely asked you to be patient many times.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) January 16, 2016

I press him again to be professional and follow through:

I am just following up. I am not a last minute person. That is not rudeness. #professionalism https://t.co/YUjYrmrhUT

— Sacerdotنs (@Sacerdotus) January 17, 2016

Once again he stalls, makes excuses and resorts to ad hominem:

@Sacerdotus It's not professionalism to hound someone when they have asked you politely on several occasions to wait. Debate someone else.

— Michael A. Sherlock (@sherlockmichael) January 17, 2016

It is March 5th 2016 and no response from Michael Sherlock to set up the debate.  He wanted to debate me in February 2016!  Once again, another alleged atheist wanted to debate me and then runs away like a coward.  I asked him when, what time, asked him to email me to set it up and he stalls and makes excuses.  Finally, he attacks me saying I am rude just for following up on a debate he invited me to!  Go figure that one out!  

Michael Sherlock is clearly a coward and lacks the intellectual confidence to debate me.  He and other Atheists know that they cannot defeat me in a debate.  I know their arguments better than they do as a former atheist; how to refute them and have degrees in the sciences and philosophy.  


We have another one to add to the list who is afraid to debate me. You do not need 'Sherlock' to know that this guy is scared of me.  :-)

All these 'atheist' authors afraid to debate me. Hilarious. @FreeAtheism @danarel @sherlockmichael

Dan Arel Invitation

The below is a tweet I saw from Dan Arel who presents himself as a writer and atheist activist.  He apparently invited the former child actor Kirk Cameron to a debate.  Cameron obviously did not reply and so Arel is making a spectacle of this.  The whole thing is silly because we know Kirk Cameron will not entertain an insignificant unknown amateur writer.  He will instead go after people like Dawkins and the like in order to garner more attention to his Creationist views.

Hey @KirkCameron it's rude to ignore peoples invitations to you. I have invited you to debate, why are you silent?
— Dan Arel (@danarel) November 14, 2014

That being said, I invite Dan Arel to come debate me here instead based on the rules and format found here: http://rationallyfaithful.wordpress.com/rules/

Hopefully he will not run away in fear like "Rosa Rubicondior" did in 2012 see: http://www.sacerdotus.com/2013/02/why-is-rubicondior-afraid-to-debate-me.html or like David Viviano "Gamma Atheist" did recently. see: http://www.sacerdotus.com/p/gamma-atheist-decays.html

Some atheists claim that I harass, abuse or stalk atheists, but it is they who come to me.  This is not the first time I have encountered Mr. Dan Arel.  Here are his previous tweets to me exhibiting a pathetic paranoia regarding my "twitter list;" a plea to restore "Rosa Rubicondior" and personal attacks which were unwarranted.  See below how he attacks me.  I never did anything to him.  

ok @twitter this is enough user @sacerdotus is now providing lists of users and asking people to mark us as spam: http://t.co/EufdfjWM47
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 31, 2013

@twitter “@Sacerdotus: Email me. I will tell you how to get the atheists suspended. @jprose” This is a problem.
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 26, 2013

@Twitter why is @RosaRubicondior still suspended? She is victim of a crazy nut: http://t.co/fTFeRkkqaT and did nothing wrong. REACTIVATE!
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 26, 2013

@twitter @support hi, you guys blocked @RosaRubicondior after smear campaign against her: http://t.co/DPpY6FSXLy thats unfair, un-suspend!
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 25, 2013

@SYKOScoRch @CrispySea @twitter @GodlessAccount @Pipkinla @TriAtheist @Geologygeek @DominicVFX last paragraph: http://t.co/DPpY6FSXLy
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 25, 2013

@marco_iO9 check this: http://t.co/rPEedcoeEx He blogged about it.
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 24, 2013

So @Sacerdotus is just another child rape apologist and now is acting like a child throwing a hissy fit: http://t.co/DPpY6FSXLy #GrowUp
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 23, 2013

.@Sacerdotus you are nothing but a pedophile apologist and no atheist has ever run from you. You block those who scare you.
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 23, 2013

.@jaanbam @Sacerdotus @Liberty_2112 everyone is a former atheist. You are not born believing in such foolish ideas, they must be taught.
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 20, 2013

'@Sacerdotus: #atheists eventually commit suicide, studies show. #catholic #trcot #Atheism why not link to said study?
— Dan Arel (@danarel) July 10, 2013

So "Atheist Activist" do you accept my challenge?  Contact me.
DO NOT Tweet to me as I do not look at Twitter and only use it to Tweet status updates and links from 3rd party sources.  





UPDATE: November 15, 2014 -  Dan Arel has just contacted me via my blog gmail account.  We are now working on how to plan this debate so I ask all atheists, et. al. to please step aside and not interfere.    

I have sent the following email to @scdtvs so he can no longer hide behind not being contacted. @catholicgadfly pic.twitter.com/GMqF4ZwmZf
— Dan Arel (@danarel) November 16, 2014

UPDATE: NOVEMBER 22, 2014 - Dan and I have been in communication via email and we are working on a day to start the debate which will be more like a discussion than a formal one.  To date, neither of us has backed out.  Stay turned until the final details are worked out.
