Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    Saw a couple articles on that this morning



    Given his age they'll probably dismiss it like they did when Antony Flew converted saying he was senile. Well if being 85 automatically makes you senile I guess they oughta support removing Ruth Bader Ginsburg from the SCOTUS.

    I'm always still in trouble again

        Flew made it clear that he had not become a Christian; he had moved from atheism to a form of deism. He did not embrace classical theism in any substantial form.

        Ruth Bader Ginsburg is safe in her position. Being 85 does not automatically

            I predicted Tassman would use that excuse, not you.

            Sometimes God has to knock someone on the head to get their attention.

            It happened to my dad. And because of his conversion at least a dozen other people converted also, including me. I watched God save my dad when the doctors gave up, then I watched God change him and save him. If it took a stroke for that to happen with my dad or Hayden, then thank God for strokes.

            You know a stroke doesn't mean you turn insane or gullible, right? But they sure can be a wakeup call.

              Never said he did. Just that he abandoned his ardently held atheism.

                Which is certainly a good first step.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Tassman can speak for himself. What I want to know is: Is this supposed to prove something?

                          Unfortunately it looks like he didn't take it before passing away back in 2010. But who knows what he believed in his final few days.

                              How does a conversion prove anything about god? If he converted to Islam would that prove Allah is good, and that it's never to late, even for you?
