Credible/Honest Apologetics?

(June 16, 2022 at 8:07 pm)h311inac311 Wrote: I'm currently reading Frank Turek's infamous, "I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist" where he posits the simple idea that yes Christianity does require some faith, but according to his balance the committed atheist requires more.

He also claims "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." for Christ's resurrection.

So far I find it worth my time to read.

His posit fails on multiple levels.

How much faith does it take to be unconvinced that a god or gods exist?

I am also unconvinced that: alien abductions, Chupacabra, ghosts, Ginn, telekinesis, dowsing, etc, etc, exist. Are all those also faith based positions?

Quote:He also claims "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." for Christ's resurrection.

Yeah...

Not so much.

Back on my post #25, I mentioned I had a shelf full of apologetics books. One of them is "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist".

Turek's so called "proof" for Jesus' resurrection, was kind of laughable. It has been quite a while since I read it, so I can't remember all the problems with it, but it was pretty poor.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
