I'm still in school so I'm not exactly familiar with all the arguments in favour of religion. But I've seen almost every debate on youtube between Christians and atheists and I always go away feeling very uneasy about Christian apologists. The truth is they tell lies.
Currently the most formidable Christian apologist must be William Lane Craig. I must have seen every debate that he has ever fought and there are a lot. Why am I not delighted every time I see him take his opponent apart? I'm not just a Christian but I'm an altar boy in my church so naturally, I should be pleased with Craig.
Craig is a liar and a very good one too. I can sit down and analyse all his debates and in every one of them, I (yes, even I) have spotted huge flaws and worse, deliberate lies but he does it so well that his opponent is none the wiser.
The most recent debate that I saw between Craig and a Muslim chap called Ally was good. Ally was much better and I thought he took the wind out of Craig's sail.
What I have seen of such debates led me to the conclusion that there is no rational argument for God and the Christian faith. Those who want to remain in the faith should be honest about it and admit that faith is totally blind and irrational.
