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.

    You should try Peter Rollins.

    “And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

      THIS JUST IN from Isaac Watts....

      1. Am I a soldier of the cross,
      a follower of the Lamb,
      and shall I fear to own his cause,
      or blush to speak his name?

      2. Must I be carried to the skies
      on flowery beds of ease,
      while others fought to win the prize,
      and sailed through bloody seas?

      3. Are there no foes for me to face?
      Must I not stem the flood?
      Is this vile world a friend to grace,
      to help me on to God?

      4. Sure I must fight, if I would reign;
      increase my courage, Lord.
      I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
      supported by thy word.

      5. Thy saints in all this glorious war
      shall conquer though they die;
      they see the triumph from afar,
      by faith they bring it nigh.

      6. When that illustrious day shall rise,
      and all thy armies shine
      in robes of victory through the skies,
      the glory shall be thine.

      (OK, so I felt like singing )
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
