I'm telling you that as a believer, I feel no need to attempt to present a case for God's existence.
IMO, He's presented Himself quite well!
One might say that for an Almighty "I AM", presenting yourself in such a way that more than half the planet doubts your existence or outright worships other gods could be construed as a massive failure.
superpunk,
This is not a bug, it's a feature. Get with it, man.

I would think the baddest cat in the Universe (baddest=goodest) would have some responsibility to assert existence beyond a very stale collection of badly collated books from a bygone era.
This is one of the most profound questions about a god-existense - what is god so secretive about, and why doesn't he just make himself clearly available to humans???
The christian God exists in the hearts and deeds of those that follow his teachings:
Love each other as I have loved you ( Self sacrfice for your felllow man) and love your neighbour as yourself.
Beyond that, we can Hope and have Faith.
Fantastic debunking of belief for the sake of belief. Thanx for posting.

In Dinesh’s book, What’s So Great About Christianity
A book which I have. It's quite good, in my opinion.

I will say this, with all due respect to Loftus and the fact that his voice was shot from a cold and his sinuses sounded like they were clogged tight, we atheists were trounced by D’Souza. I left with my head down and tail between my legs.
I would have to say that if I were on the fence, and I didn’t check D’Souza’s “facts”, I would drift toward the Christian camp. I’m not saying as an atheist I would be swayed by D’Souza. I’m saying as a non-commited member of society, given the two sides, Christianity stole the show for sure.
I’m also saying that if I were a Christian, I would go download D’Souza debates and memorize his points. Honestly, he puts a profoundly more intelligent face on Christianity than many men or women I have seen before him.
Did you hear that Christian readers? I am giving your team accolades. I’m not knocking faith. I’m praising one of your own! You better fucking take note, Messrs and Mrss McGrumblepantaloonyballs!

I haven't listened to the debate, yet.
It makes sense to me, that the people offering everlasting life will attract new ones. Helluva offer.

Don't laugh, you'd be surprise how much of the "little voice" in our head is God.
Or how little.
So who is this Dinesh person? and where can I find his debates?
