I would have had to wash the blackberries before I ate them. That’s just how I roll.

Comment on Response to “Letter From a Concerned Follower and a Frustrated Atheist” by John

The first question which comes to mind… Why does the athiest believer have to define what is Christian to the Christian believer? Shouldn’t the Christian have the right to define his/her own beliefs?

I wish I could count the times when people came up to me and started telling me what I believe. Sometimes they were right. Sometimes, they were wrong. It does make for a difficult debate.

Fanastic reading. I hope to see more! :O)

I don’t know for sure about Dawkins, but I have NEVER seen Hitchens debate anyone who I would believe to be deeply educated in Theology. I have seen Hitchens spend countless TV time verbally burying Jerry Fallwell, but I can’t count Fallwell as a major theological force. Sure, he had a heavy influence in Christianity, but he focused on being an old school preacher, not a Dr. in theology.

Because of this, I can’t give Hitchens and his views too much time. You are exactly right… a common person CAN’T debate with a heavily educated man/woman because they haven’t been trained to do so. (That’s not to say a common man is not smarter, but unless your Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders, a professional football player is not going to do so well in Major League Baseball.)

If Hitchens, or even Dawkins, ever really opted to debate a well educated theologian, I would LOVE to see that.
