Great post! I’ll get this off to Chuck today and hopefully we’ll hear back from him shortly. It depends on his schedule, but I’ll keep you posted as I get word from him. I’ll probably post up Chuck’s reply on the Zondervan blog I’m thinking and link over to your post, etc. Thanks again.
Since I wasn't aware of the existence of a Zondervan blog, I went looking for it and thought you might like to take a look too. Here is the section dedicated to Chuck Colson.
I looked over what was previously written, and it looks as though Chuck's "blog tour" has already been in progress for a while, since around March. He appears to be dropping by apologetics-friendly blogs first to answer brief questions.
I haven't read all the others yet. As far as I can see, mine is the first atheist response (although I don't know whether others are still waiting on their response). Perhaps unsurprisingly, I also appear to be the only one who has written a long critique rather than a short set of basic questions.
They might be clipping out the questions. Did they say whether they'd be posting the entirety of your critiques?
ReplyDeleteI see that the Reasoned Audacity blogger asked Chuck which was more threatening to Christianity, Atheism, or Islamo-fascism. Chuck says militant Islam is the greater threat, but then backpedals and says it's basically a toss up.
ReplyDeleteSo, basically, I'm on equal footing with Muslim terrorists in his mind.
And yet, I constantly have to deal with criticisms like, "Why be so angry? Just let bygones by bygones. Their faith isn't hurting you."
So, I am an evil, amoral, terrorist sinner, who is destroying the fabric of society, but I shouldn't 'cause trouble' by speaking my views, because what's the harm in religion, anyways?
