I wonder how many of the Christian apologists willfully hides behind a plausible denial modeled on cognitive dissonance so as to seem less intellectually duplicitous than they actually are.
They don't like nihilism, which is why many believe. I was on a large conference call just this morning hosted by a manager who just got back from funeral leave. He's a believer, but the look on his face was one of profound sadness. I felt so sorry for him and his family. Someone proposed a conversation about this past Thanksgiving mishaps; it lightened the mood quite a bit.
