Route 66

Hi Ed,

You have a habit of flinging prefab objections my way. These take two forms: they are either objections to positions I don't hold (e.g., Lewis on OT ethics), or else they're objections to positions I do hold, but have already responded to.

Fact is, I seriously doubt that there's any major objection to the Christian faith that hasn't crossed my desk at one time or another, which I haven't dispatched at one time or another—often on multiple occasions. As a Valley Girl might say, it’s a soooo last week!

It just reminds me that atheism hasn't had much new material since the days of Tom Paine or Voltaire. You know—like a washed-up comedian who's telling 20-year-old jokes in a greasy spoon along Route 66. Or those old Jerry Lewis telethons before they finally put him out to pasture.

Any time you want to engage the specifics of my actual position, we might have something to talk about. As it stands, your cut-n-paste criticisms of the Christian faith either miss my position by a mile or bounce off my force field.

Religion professor Hector Avalos has recently composed a piece that is
attracting attention on the web. (I noticed that the fourm of Christians at
the American Scientific Affiliation is talking about it, which was how I
found out about it).
