Presuppositional Apologetics (4 of 5)

Blog: http://streetapologetics.com
Yesterday an organized team of atheists came to the Huntington Beach Pier where Ray Comfort, Stuart Scott, and I preach. They showed up at the pier hours before we normally arrive. First thing I saw when I walked up was approximately 20 atheists touting signs that said things like "I'm good without God" "You don't need God" ect.

I asked one of the group leaders (Jose) if he would be willing to have a dialogue in an open-air type of environment so that the crowed could benefit from the exchange of words. He declined and refused to give up the piece of landscape that we normally preach from.
With that, Ray and I ended up communicating to the atheist in one-on-one styled conversations. The atheists were filming with a professional camera-man so somewhere along the way our cameras came out too. It was a very interesting and enjoyable encounter and I hope to see the atheist group come out more in the future.
The man I talk to in this video clip was entertaining to say the least. You see, he denied that the "Law of Non-Contradiction" (L.N.C.) was true. WHAT??? YEP!!! He expresses that contradictions are OK and acceptable in his worldview yet he kept applying that which he denied to our conversation. He would apply the LNC every-time he disagreed, attempted to change my mind, asserted he was correct, claimed I was wrong ect.
So much could be said but I will refrain. Let me just set things up and point out that we start a conversation with a man that lives in a world were contradictions are perfectly acceptable and by the end of the conversation 2 Corinthians 10:5 prevails.

i love this Christian guy, he knows what he is talking about, Good job man, and god Bless ya. Some people need to learn more before setting cameras and making themselves look foolish.

its so obvious that the guy on the right is now lost in his whole foundation of logic of which he started with.

The guy on the left, however, is keeping his composure very well and not avoiding questions like the other guy. Its more entertaining to watch the guy on the left get nervous by looking at other people for help and drinking his water non-stop than to make sense of this whole debate! LOL

Perfect example the atheist worldview is irrational it cannot consistently provide the precondition for intelligible experience. Science logic or morality. The Atheist world view cannot allow for laws of logic uniformity of nature. The ability for the mind to understand the world and moral absolutes.

@BARNEYRAPEDME69 Well maybe if you were more educated on why he is doing that, you wouldn't be even saying this to me :)

[tigergirl401]

@Gericho49 Yeah and what are the chances of something sooo perfect coming into existence?

[RasheemH]

Dude... can you train me in this apologetic? lol

[ryantheatheist22]

@Gericho49 Well, I would explain, but you're probably a Christian. So hence, there's no logical thinking within you.. So, you just keep believing fairy tales and I'll live in reality. :)

[Gericho49]

@ryantheatheist22 Atheists are so stupid when they drop meaningless, unsupported insults with any attempt to justify them or offer a rebuttal of any sort.

[Gericho49]

@flotopo subjective morality is like the sceptic who says, "there's no such thing as absolute truth." And he believes that absolutely.

[Gericho49]

cont'd.

The absurdity of atheist morality is typified by atheist philosopher Peter Singer who says children should be bred as organ donors since it would promote the survival of our species.

In our heart of hearts we all know deep down certain acts are always wrong, but if ur just 'a bunch of selfish genes fighting for survival in a world of pitiless indifference" who could complain? In a morally bankrupt world, the golden rule has become "do unto others before they do it to you"!

@tigergirl401 The problem for atheists who say they just "lack belief in God" is they have never,ever thought about what a material worldview actually is. It means believing that matter & energy is the only game in town, that matter must have always existed (despite the logical absurdity of an infinite regression of past finite events) It means believing our finite rationally intelligible, abstract law-abiding, fined tuned, life-permitting universe came about by chance.
