Well this should be fun.
I don't see, myself, that he has improved his spiritual condition by much.
atheists are the most intolerant among religious peoples.
I’ve also noticed that if they didn’t have Christianity to be against, they wouldn’t exist.
There doesn’t seem to be a huge movement that gets its morning engine revved at the prospect of going out that day to tackle the problems of buddha.
our atheists could be just as fairly labeled adherents to the religion of anti-christianity.
Exactly. When atheists have the chutzpah to go after Islam with the fervor with which they attack Christianity, maybe I’ll have some respect for them.
This should be interesting. I’m going to run out and buy this book, just for the ammo.
What damage? God is still here :)
“..the New York TImes goes into mafia-style intellectual hit mode.”
That’s the best line of the article, and pretty much sums up the Times and atheism.
So true. The real threat to Christanity aren’t atheist, its people who call themselves Christians but don’t live like it.
Amen! I takes a simple mind to believe in nothing. It takes an ample mind to admit being wrong.
Now, if Jesus can just get through to him, he will have many stories to tell, forever.
There IS no threat to Christianity. Never was. Never will be.
I don’t think he has inflicted any damage on those that believe in God. He inflicted damage on those he influenced into not believing. He aided the devil in leading people away from God. I suppose recanting his atheistic beliefs is about the best he can do. Since no one that needs to hear this message seems to be listening to him, now. I’m not sure he’ll be able to undo the damage.
To his credit, Hitchens does go after Islam.
I agree with you in the Macro sense, but in the micro, much damage can be done by say Bill Clinton talking about how important his faith as a Southern Baptist while being serviced by a intern.
Just like the internet.
Anthony Flew? Anthony WHO? I’ve never heard of him, and I’ve read on this topic. Vs. Billy Graham and C.S. Lewis are/were famous. So the analogy doesn’t hold up. I’m not even sure that he qualifies for “the worlds most famous Atheist”. That would be Sam Harris, or one of the other authors who’ve written best sellers on the topic. Or the late Madeline Murray O’Hare, perhaps. Anthony has over-reached on his PR claims, methinks.
You don't know much about Buddhists do you? LOL Can you name their God?
our atheists could be just as fairly labeled adherents to the religion of anti-christianity.
You might be correct if you included all the People of the Book, but being 1/3 correct must be good enough for you : )
He's written a book, right?
Besides, God has forgiven him, so who are we to stay bitter?
I guess it is flattering that they see us as THE enemy.
It’s their subconscious way of publicly declaring the identity of the real God.
