RE: Trust in your own goodness, Bart. See how well that works for you at the judgement.
Bart Ehrman calls himself an agnostic.
To which Colbert replied: “That’s like an atheist without balls...”.
“To which Colbert replied: Thats like an atheist without balls...”
Proof Colbert’s only using the guy to show there are people to the left of him.
Atheism is hatred. Pure and simple. No balls about it.
Agnosticism is at least an admission that you don’t know, and that’s a start. Plenty of mathematical and scientific evidence that would suggest that ‘all of this’ could not have been accidental. Now you are at ‘there’s an intelligent design’ - could be aliens, but its an intelligent design.
Then you start reading the story of Christ, and you get to C.S. Lewis’ (famous former atheist) assessment: “Either Jesus Christ is who he says he is, or he is the most insane person ever.”
Then you end up in ‘G.K. Chesterton’ town, and Michio Kaku Boulevard, wherein the result of a lifetime of scholar work leads to the conclusion that there must be a God, with all the intellectual trappings thereof.
Colbert’s an opportunist, and I’m thinking he’s about to Peter Principle huge here.
Kevin Hart would have been a better choice.
