We’ve been having a very spirited debate between atheists and Christians on this blog on another thread that has arrived at a fundamental question. What is evil? Specifically, what is evil ontologically? In order to get the discussion going, I’ll offer an insight from Augustine. He said that evil was not a thing in itself, […]
Atheist Penn Jillette of the comedy team Penn & Teller believes in evangelism more than do many Christians. A Christian approached him after one of his Las Vegas shows, and Penn appreciated the man’s effort. In this short YouTube video, Penn says that he “knows” there is no God, but that it’s hateful to NOT […]
Our TV show, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to an Atheist, has moved from Sunday night to MONDAY night at 8 PM and Midnight ET on DirecTV Channel 378 (The NRB Network).
Some people say that the resurrection is myth. Unfortunately for them, scholars report that the earliest testimony for the resurrection goes back to the very year it supposedly occurred– far too early for mythological development. New Testament Scholar Craig Blomberg reports that one such scholar is even an atheist. This is from Blomberg’s blog (HT: Melinda Penner at STR.org): At the […]
McCain or Obama? What principles should Christians use to make their decision? What issues comprise the “weighter matters of the law” (Mt. 23:23-34)?

He is the most extreme […]

On Tuesday night, I debated atheist Christopher Hitchens, author of God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, at Virginia Commonwealth University. The topic was, “Does God Exist?” Thanks be to God (and to you for your prayers) because I don’t think the debate could have gone much better. There were several atheists who approached […]
George Weigel writing for NewsWeek points out what we’ve known as a scientific fact for decades: that human life begins at conception and any other suggested point for its beginning is arbitrary: http://www.newsweek.com/id/155564/output/print.
