Ravi Zacharias Why I am not an Athiest

Which of his arguments do you find the most compelling?

Ravi and John Lennox: Is Faith Delusional?

 

[SemperFiDawg]

Frank Turek "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist."

 

[ambush80]

This right here is called a good old fashioned filibuster.

Semper Fi,

I'd be honored if you saw fit to choose one topic from any of those videos and discuss it with me in depth.

 

[SemperFiDawg]

Maybe one of my favorite speakers, John Lennox. He also doesn't have enough faith to be an atheist.

Done feeding the trolls.

This petty exchange is how SemperFi has chosen to live out the edict "shake the dust from your feet" and "not cast pearls before swine".

Your actions make for fine testimony.

He makes multiple posts.
You try to engage him in intelligent conversation about the posts that HE made.
He then deems YOU/us the troll.

I cant imagine why we don't take him seriously

SemperFi,

I want to make amends with you. I want to be able to discuss the points you are trying to make in a cordial, civilized way in the spirit of mutual inquiry. If I disagree with you it doesn't mean that I'm trying to be mean to you.

Posting apologetic material in an apologetic forum is stirring trouble? Who knew? You know you could just do something radical and ignore it. Though you're prescient insight may be missed, with prayer we will get through it.

It might be fun in a juvenile way to try to out video each other but I'd rather we take a few points that they bring up and discuss them.

This was you very first reply to my first post today.

Its not suprising you feel that this is an honest assessment of science in relation to religion.
Anyone with a basic understanding of what science is and isn't sees this for the big pile of steaming carp that it is.

Regardless of whether you feel this is engaging and/or intelligent, I think it speaks for itself. Need I say more?

So Dawkins starts by saying that at the age of nine he realized that his Christian faith was due to being born in a certain place. Believers often admit that this fact is unsettling yet it's not enough reason to doubt the truth of their beliefs. I'm curious as to how Christians compartmentalize this undeniable fact. Is it just an annoying detail that you don't think deserves any thought? Why is it so easily dismissed?

 

[ambush80]

Dawkins goes on to say that he thinks that in this day and age that religious explanations (of natural phenomena) are superseded, outdated, petty and parochial. Why would he think that?

So Dawkins starts by saying that at the age of nine he realized that his Christian faith was due to being born in a certain place.

Yet he's now an atheist, therefore he himself is a living contradiction of his pet thesis. Kind of a meta-narrative for atheism.

That wasn't trolling. I looked up your author before I said a word. He's a big time intelligent design proponent.
Hence my comment -

This comment -

Is in reference to his points.

Nope.

Sfd, you fool nobody.
You made embeded a few interesting videos and when someone wanted to talk to you about the videos that you posted, you called him a troll.

And you HAD to post a pic of Troll spray when nobody was even remotely trolling anyone.

You are the only true troll in the forum.
