Roy Abraham Varghese on the “New Atheism”

Posted on September 13, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 1 Comment

There is a God

At the foundation of the “new atheism” is the belief that there is no God, no eternal and infinite Source of all that exists. This is the key belief that needs to be established in order for most of the other arguments to work. Int is my contention here that the “new atheists,” Richard Dawkins, […]

A response to Hungry Atheist

Posted on September 18, 2013 Written by Mark McIntyre 3 Comments

On July 9 of this year, I wrote a post entitled, A follow-up to some comments. One of the comments I received on that post was from someone calling himself (or herself) Hungry Atheist.

A follow-up to some comments

Posted on July 9, 2013 Written by Mark McIntyre 13 Comments

Hymns

On the singing of old hymns

At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, I have to say that sometimes I miss the old hymns in our worship. I do not miss how the hymns were executed, but I do miss the lyrics.

Be courageous

The question is how can we be courageous when we don’t really feel that way?

Mysterious

Allowing God to be mysterious

As I have grown older, I have become increasingly comfortable with allowing God to be mysterious. This has relieved me of some of the pressure to provide explanations for particular events.

Uncertain

Hard Headed but Soft Hearted

In Matthew 10:16, Jesus enjoins his disciples to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. John describes Jesus as being “full of grace and truth” in John 1:14.
