The Doubters’ Creed is Unleashed to the World
Today, I read the following tweet from Matthew Hartke: Honestly guys, I’d be so stoked to find out that Christianity is true.

Christianity for the Hesitant: An Interview with John Stackhouse

If you think a big bang without a banger is crazy, you’d be right. But that’s just the beginning of the nonsensical doctrines of atheist faith. […]
