So, Gawker has been doing something interesting this afternoon. A person describing himself as a “typical Evangelical” agreed to host a session over there where he would answer people’s questions, any questions. He’s not there to proselytize and the commenters aren’t there to argue, but he goes to a conservative Baptist church, so it’s safe to say he’s coming from a different place from most of our readers, whether religious or not.
[the discussion] would not attempt to defend the evangelical views but rather to point out why we believe them. I would be more than willing to offer my opinion on areas where I think we are wrong in our belief or in the way we convey it to the public at large but defending a belief that is based on a biblical worldview (biblically correct or not) is extremely difficult when the audience places no authority in the Bible.
So there you go. The chit-chat is down in the comments section, and even as a former Evangelical, I think it’s kinda fascinating.
It is the same old apologetic batshit that christianists are always recycling. Never any evidence except their infallible buybull and anecdotes of faith. Nothing replicable, nothing verifiable, just “belief” and of course they have the “right” beliefs. Waste of time in my book.

I’d swear I only pushed that button once.
I agree Paul! Don’t use the brain that you..just believe because someone tells you so. “blind faith” has caused so many horrors in our evolution..
