Did you see the debate? No, not the predictably boring Democrat and Republican candidates, but fromer TV star Kirk Cameron and New Zealand evangelist Ray Comfort versus the two atheists, Brian Sapient and Kelly (no surname). Brian and Kelly are behind the controversial “Blasphemy Challenge” – a campaign on YouTube that encourages youth to denounce the Holy Spirit and “damn themselves to hell.”
To be honest, I got wrapped up watching “Criminal Minds” and missed the debate between “Christian” minds and the atheists.
According to Christian Post (a great Christian news site, incidentally):
. . . most have agreed that [Cameron and Comfort] were not prepared well enough to be a part of the apologetics discussion.
After seeing the representatives that would be debating on the Christian side, however, many of them expressed their frustration, feeling that other apologists would have argued God more effectively than the two evangelists, such as William Lane Craig, Ravi Zacharias, Phillip Johnson, Michael Behe, Lee Strobel, Josh McDowell, William Dembski, or Emir Caner.
Those that have viewed the program also have criticized the moderator of the program, Martin Bashir, as being biased towards the atheist side.
If you saw it, what did you think? Did I make the right choice Wednesday night?
