A critique of I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST, p. 42-43.
Critiquing “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist” (Ch.1, p.40-49)
When last we left our heroes (I mean authors Geisler and Turek, not Joe and me… lest there be any confusion), we had just been introduced to their patented Road Runner Tactic.
Critiquing “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist” (Ch.1, p.35-39)

”God is not jealous for us, but for His glory!”
I’ve encountered versions of this statement many times in churches and outside of them. A number of Protestants who are overly focused on the idea that God is perfect and all-powerful have decided that being jealous of our attention is unbecoming of the Alpha and …
