  Bohnm, I don't know why Craig won't debate John W. Loftus. I have never heard of this person before today, but I will look into him. I do know that Craig won't debate other Christians, for reasons that I find less than satisfying. However, I am not a Craig groupie. I have serious issues with some of Craig's theology and his apologetic method. So my question is why don't you go to Craig's own and ask them?

  I am not a fan of Craig for a number of reasons. But the facts are that Dickie Dawkins said that he wanted to discuss the issues, yet he won't "put up" so he really should, "shut up." Craig's reason for belief in God are all over the internet. If you were really interested in educating yourself with opposing viewpoints you copuld easily find them. Sadly, I don't think you will, based on the lame statement you made.

  Now, Dickie claims that he won't debate someone who defends the "genocide" of the Promised Land. Funny, if none of these people actually existed, as so many of the internet and "New" atheist preach, why would this be a point of contention? It's rather silly and irrational.

  Regarding "running like a girl" I was not casting aspersions at all girls, but rather at Dickie Dawkins, and his lack of a backbone to debate against someone that is at least his intellectual equal (yes, atheists will scoff at that one, but that says more about you than it does about me), or at best, someone who will clean the floor with Dawkins' own arguments. Secondly, I was using a figure of speach. You do know what that is don't you?

  As far as the elephant vs. the ant analogy goes, it doesn't work. Craig has only said that he wants the debate. Dickie is the one running scared. Further, it is not just Christians that want the debate, but also fair-minded atheists want it too. Especially after Craig's recent series of debates against some of the leading atheists in Great Britain.

  Further I am currently reading a book and a paper on the Canaanite "genocide", and if what I am reading is true, it is not the Israelites and YHWH that you should be calling immoral, but the Canaanites. Between their sexual practices and their religious practices, how anyone could defend them, which is what atheists are doing, is beyond me. Then again I find it odd that if an atheist believes that the accounts described in the Bible are fiction they would use it to beat Christians. Then again I no longer expect rational responses from the emotional New Atheists.

  News Item!! The Biblical NT story has been PROVEN to be a hoax!!

  ok i lied; there's no such news item.

  however, imagine for a minute that it was indeed fact and that the evidence was irrefutable that the new testiment account in the bible was proven to be a hoax started by the early constantine government and perpetuated by the church over the centuries.

  now, if you are of the atheist persuation it seems plausable that your reaction would be something similar to "i told you so" and that life would go on pretty much as usual.

  Why is that a joke? The atheists and skeptics were having multiple orgasms over the Talpiot Tomb and how it disproved the resurrection of Jesus.

  There is archeolgical artifacts from the early second century of crucifed men. I'm not asking the impossible.

  When you or any other anti-Christian can demonstrate that Jesus did not rise from the dead, then I will abandon Christianity and all other faiths.

  Oh, and Poopsie, dismissal is not a refutation.

  Slimboyfat, no Craig is not the "best" Christians" have to offer. I have serious issues with much of Craig's theology, but he is one of the leading Christian apologists now. The question still remains, despite your lame attempt at dismissing Craig, why won't Dawkins "man up" and debate him?

  Craig debated Hitchens and Harris and done a very good job.

  Stephen Law, Peter Milikan, and others during his recent tour of Britain. He did a fairly good job. The videos are on You Tube should you care to look them up.

  Dawkins has claimed to want open discussion, yet when someone accepts his challenge, he runs like a girl. One can certainly come to the opinion that Dawkins cannot defend his atheism against a Christian that is educated and willing to take up the new atheists' challenge.

  So I say to Dickie Dawkins, "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Or better yet, as Premier Christian Radio placed on busses, "There's no Dawkins, so stop worrying."

  Dear Poopsie,

  Glad I helped destroy your monitor, but my statement still stands. Then again I don't expect meaningful and reflective responses from the majority of the posters on this board any longer.

  Very simple: Produce the dead body of Jesus of Nazareth and I will become an atheist. No other religions founders handled man's problem, death, like he did.

  I am deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Hitchens, as is God (Ezekiel 28:13).
