Perhaps the greatest lament I have about this whole affair is that the Debunking Christianity members tout what accomplished Christians they were and how they left the faith after objectively examining their faith or following the path of reason instead of faith. Too often in their disputes, on ground of their own choosing, they seem incompetent in judging the facts and hopelessly biased in their presentation of the material. How sad to throw your faith away on your own incompetent assessment of the relevant facts.
We've made similar observations about Debunking Christianity many times, such as here. Read the remainder of Chris' article to see what "this whole affair" is. I also recommend reading his articles on Josephus, as well as other topics related to early Christianity.
"Nevertheless, despite being proved wrong by others commentors and my own comment (which requested an apology), McCall has not apologized or withdrawn his attacks."
ReplyDeleteHeh. In general, is there anyone around who hasn't suffered the same fate, even from friends and family members?
Pride is a terrible sin.

ReplyDeleteNot to mention the fact that they no nothing of the theology of their former "faith" and constantly attack straw-men as a result.
