1001 Stupid Questions Atheists Ask Christians

Atheists pose some of the most ridiculous and annoying questions imaginable: Does the Christian God already know if the world is going to end by human hands or natural causes? Does the Christian God know the exact date and time the sun will die? If a boy gets hit by a meteorite next week, wouldn't the Christian God have known about its trajectory for millions of years and yet failed to move the boy 10 feet out of the way? If every human on Earth died, would the Christian God continue to keep Saturn orbiting the sun? ______ More of a debate primer than a literary work of scholarship, this book gets into the mind of the atheist by revealing the absurdity of their faulty logic and tactics in their attack on Christianity. Formatted in an easily digestible list of questions, paraphrased from real-life atheist dialog across the web, this work is not only amusing, but also informative. With this book, Christians now have the ammunition to defend Faith with a secret preview of the arguments that comprise the outlandish philosophy of atheism.

Christians are not stupid, but they sure are gullible. Either that, or they have absolutely no common sense when it comes to using logic to analyze their beliefs about the invisible magic guy in who gives them their wonderful morals in support of genocide, slavery, subjugation of women, cruelty toward others, and even the stoning children. This book delves into the logic problems of Christianity and the Bible by simply posing a 1001 questions that no Christian can answer without either doing semantic acrobatics or by relying on the circular logic of trusting the Bible simply because the Bible says to believe in it. To answer questions in this book, Christians need to defy all logic and common sense. For example: Why did the Christian God have to make Eve from a rib instead of making her from clay or simply snapping his fingers and saying abracadabra? Why did the Christian God instruct Noah to make an ark, when the Christian God could have just as easily slaughtered all the people on Earth with a magic stroke of his hand? (Wouldn't that have made his existence less doubtful instead of having to account for the crazy logic problems the ark creates?) Why did the Christian God have to create a son to torture on the cross as himself in order to save his own creations from his own wrath? Why did the Christian God bother to create distant galaxies millions of light years away that humans will never know about or experience? If a boy gets hit by a meteor while walking to school, did the Christian God launch or know about the launch of the meteor and its trajectory thousands of year ago? If the Christian God did know about the meteor, wouldn't he have had thousands of years of advance knowledge to move the boy out of the impact zone? Was "God's plan" to launch that meteor all those millennia ago to kill the boy or does the Christian God simply work in mysterious ways? Either way, the boy died and the Christian God either knew about the boy's death for centuries or allowed it to happen without saving him. Logic and Christianity have no common ground. This list of questions will make that abundantly clear. Enjoy!"

Written in a respectful and conversational style, this unique book is designed to promote constructive dialogue and foster mutual understanding between Christians and non-Christians. The author, a skeptic and journalist, asks basic questions about Christian belief. What is the born-again experience? Why would God want to sacrifice his only son for the world? Do miracles really happen? How reliable is the Bible? What is the rapture? Why isn't everyone a Christian? Each question is followed by commentary and analysis that is skeptical and tough but never argumentative or condescending. Christians will find the book useful as a basis for developing their apologetics, while skeptics will welcome Harrison's probing rational analysis of religious claims.

This brief book, in just a few sentences each, will give you concise, common - sense responses to those who embrace the foolishness of atheism and the unscientific and unobservable blind faith of evolution.

Even the disciples were sometimes guilty of asking Jesus some pretty dumb questions. This book is comprised of a collection of messages focusing on questions that various people asked the Lord and his profound responses. Many of the basic truths of Christianity are confirmed and supported in what Jesus said as he answered these "stupid questions". Background information in the scripture context is also highlighted to further reveal the messages contained in the words of Christ.

With notable nonbelievers such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens featured prominently in the media, it is no surprise that many Christians wonder how best to answer the growing number of atheist arguments they encounter every day. 10 Answers for Atheists is a one-of-a-kind resource from respected Christian apologist Alex McFarland that looks closely at the philosophical assumptions at the root of atheism and agnosticism and exposes the logical, historical, and conceptual fallacies that perpetuate unbelief. Readers will find easy-to-understand charts and clear explanations of key beliefs, as well as trustworthy, biblical answers to the honest questions posed by atheists and agnostics. Every reader, no matter where he or she falls on the spectrum of belief, will hear a call to thoughtful engagement with the historic Christian faith.

What is the complete essence of this book? The Cosmic Harmony of Science, Scripture, and Reason. Can it be indubitably proven that God absolutely exists? Can it really be shown how science actually confirms creation by God? Given that some say not even God can create something out of nothing, exactly how did God create everything in the universe? Just how can the Holy Bible be reliable and the divine Word of God when it is challenged with so much controversy? Can it be irrefutably verified that Jesus was for real, really rose from the dead, and is the Son of God? Did the Great Flood of Noah and his Ark really happen? How? Everybody wants to see proof. Atheists and skeptics often demand it. A total of twenty-one of the most often asked and difficult questions challenging Christianity are answered by coauthors C. J. Rysen, (author of the Christian apocalyptic thriller, a novel, In the Course of Three Hours (www.inthecourseofthreehours.com)), and Dan Manternach, a public speaker and leader in the Christian Group, Ministry to Men (www.ministrytomen.net). Both men have collaborated to provide irrefutable answers and explanations in a simple, easy-to-understand, straightforward way, providing new, unexpected, and intriguing perspectives to which you likely may have never given any thought. Many of these will be surprising and often startling to anyone--whether skeptic, agnostic, or atheist. The book is also intended to be a reference source for the layperson, as well as those with formal theological or philosophical education. Although this book is intended to address these questions for the benefit of the "nonbeliever," it also is intended to prepare the believer to help answer such questions and solidify their faith. If one is intellectually honest with oneself, the explanations in this book should be overwhelmingly compelling and absolutely convincing. If they are not, one must ask the question, "Why?"

From The Rational Response Squad to The Blasphemy Challenge. From The God Delusion to The End of Faith and The God Who Wasn't There, atheists are on the move and in the news. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Brian Flemming, all have set the tone for modern atheism, openly challenging religion in society and to demand equal air time in an increasingly intolerant religious/political environment. Outspoken atheist Nick Gisburne has written a new book for atheists, at times openly parodying Christianity, but always keeping both eyes firmly on the central, serious theme: give no respect to a belief system based on ancient myths, for which there is no proof. This book hacks at the shiny veneer of 'God is love' and reveals the true message of the Christian religion: 'serve God or burn'. Part of the rising phenomenon known as the 'YouTube Atheists', popular video blogger Nick Gisburne returns with a feast of short, sharp arguments to rattle the foundations of Christianity. Look out, The Atheists Are Revolting!
