@lhsffa You're absolutely right! Man,I got at least three things all wrong when I was thinking about that! (Herod, Pilate, and the census - I should have said the census was wrong). But put this stuff aside if the Bible is not your area of expertise. It wouldn't be fair to quiz you on specifics...

  @lhsffa #1 I guess it was three things: 1) I learned about the history of the OT, and how each facet of the current description of god (military, loving, law-giver, etc) came from a different historical condition in which the Hebrews found themselves. 2) I learned some science (ie man has been ...

  @lhsffa From my point of view, yes. But from a believer's, no. This seeming contradiction is resolved by the many robust findings from psychology that show how people (yes, including me) interpret hazy material in favor of their initial beliefs. Since this is part of our inherent humanity, I just...

Dr. William Lane Craig refutes Richard Dawkin's pseudo-logic

How much more fallacious could Dawkin's pop arguments against God possibly get?

Does anyone have any idea how, psychologically speaking, Craig can keep calling himself Christian, and tell lie after lie after lie for a living? I know no human is perfectly consistent (I'm certainly not), but how does one maintain this extraordinary volume of contradiction and keep functioning?
