Civilized debate on life’s biggest matter
April 6th, 2009
It seemed more like a rock concert last night than a debate about the existence of God. The gym at Biola University in La Mirada featured a sold-out crowd that buzzed with excitement at the introductions of atheist Christopher Hitchens and Christian apologist Professor William Lane Craig.
And for two-and-a-half hours, the pair put on quite a show. Craig, a gifted speaker, mostly stuck to his five, well-researched bullet points meant to prove that the God of Christianity was real. Hitchens, as is his style, was more freewheeling with his arguments, mixing in humor and biting sarcasism to make his points.
The blogger is not a theist, but he gives a positive review to a civilized debate.
The lesson? It is not necessary to be mean, confrontational, or obnoxious in order to make our points, even about the most vital issues of all.
