Thanks for your thoughts. I agree with you t...Thad,<br />Thanks for your thoughts. I agree with you that most skeptics are indeed honest, and that is why I began with a statement to that effect. But for those few that are dishonest, it is frustrating, and since they often portray themselves as "honest" then it gives all skeptics a bad name. It seems that we are in a time in our cultural history when it is "cool" to be a skeptic and so everyone wants to jump onboard. But as with any movement, a few bad apples gives the whole crowd a bad name. My intent in writing this particular blog entry is to let the dishonest ones know that we see through their mask and to let the honest ones know that we do appreciate our conversations with them.Dr. Terry Dorsetthttp://vermontbaptist.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-83270873957023965972009-11-03T14:14:03.583-05:002009-11-03T14:14:03.583-05:00I think your points are spot on.

For the record, I am not an honest skeptic of Christianity, chiefly because I am a Christian. But as a Christian, I can still reflect on the merits and strengths of skeptical reasons against Christianity. Let the dishonest skeptcs be dishonest. But as Christians let's not lump the honest ones in with the dishonest ones.<br /><br />(edited for length, to see the full comments, refer to the link in the previous post regarding faulty logic of deconstructing Christianity.)Dr. Thad Bothamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-91176928559079167092009-11-03T11:10:51.325-05:002009-11-03T11:10:51.325-05:00I like this.I like this.Clint Lenonoreply@blogger.com
