Not everyone believes in God. Those who don't may have their reasons. But it just makes sense to test those reasons carefully. The stakes are pretty high!

New militant atheists want to 'destroy religious faith'

Feb. 4, 2010 - At a lecture for the Institute for Faith & Culture, Oxford University Professor John Lennox complained that the new militant athiests are not only anti-God, but they are also against those who believe in God.

Lennox also questioned athiesm's position on morality.

He warned that Dawkins' views on a morality based on genetics were highly dangerous: "No good or evil – 'we dance to dna's music'. No blame. This is very serious – and many of our young people are being taught this. 'If God does not exist, everything is permitted'."

The Shack — The Missing Art of Evangelical Discernment

Jan. 28, 2010 - Paul Young's The Shack has now sold more than 10 million copies. Unfortunately, Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, reminds evangelicals that it is confusing and even heretical in places.

Reframing Human History

Sept. 23, 2009 - Kate Kirkpatrick gives us a review of David Bentley Hart's Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies.

Theologian Bentley Hart explores the current athiest culture and then examines key events of history to dispute the way they interpret them. He exposes Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and others for their manipulation of philosophy, theology, and history.

Hart complains that athiests reduce Christianity to "bloodthirsty crusaders and sadistic inquisitors."

But they ignore the fact Christianity has produced the highest ideals of humanity. Never before the 2,000-year-old religion were slave and free, man and woman, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile welcomed in equal measure and with immeasurable love.

Author: Atheism, intelligence don't mix

Feb. 2, 2009 - Author and evangelist Ray Comfort has written a new book, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think. He debunks the popular idea that athiests are more intelligent than other people.
He believes the rise of an aggressive "evangelistic" atheistic movement is a "symptom of moral decline."

"The darker a nation gets, the more it hates the light," he said. "The more a nation throws itself into sin, the more it's going to hate righteousness."

Anti-Christmas!

1 - Violent demonstrations against churches and Christian orgainzations

after the passage of the Prop 8 Marriage Amendment in California.

2 - Anti-God signs on busses

The American Humanist Association has bought ads on Metrobuses in the District of Columbia that say, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake."

3 - "Imagine No Religion" Billboards

The Freedom From Religion Foundation recently put up a billboard with the message "Imagine No Religion." The organization advocates the separation of church and state. This is their first billboard with this message in the state, but they have a goal of displaying its messages in every state that permits billboards.

Court upholds discount on In God We Trust license plates

Nov. 18, 2008 - The State of Indiana has decided not to charge a $15 administrative fee for their "In God We Trust" license plates.
The move has been a hit with Hoosier motorists. In God We Trust plates, which also feature an American flag logo, now adorn nearly a third of all passenger vehicles registered in the state and are slightly more popular in Lake and Porter counties.
