I don't often listen to Bible Answerman, but it comes on after The Marty Minto Show, so I sometimes leave it on for a while. Today the host, Hank Hanegraaff, had an interesting guest with him. Actually, he wasn't particularly interesting and I didn't listen to much of the show, but he wrote a book that I thought might stir up some conversation here. The guest, Frank Turek, and Norman Geisler wrote I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
. Here's the description:
"All worldviews, including atheism, require faith. I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist argues that Christianity requires the least faith of all because it is the most reasonable. The authors lay out the evidence for truth, God, and the Bible in logical order and in a readable, non-technical, engaging style. A valuable aid to those interested in examining the reasonableness of the Christian faith, Geisler and Turek provide a firm challenge to the previous beliefs of doubters of all sorts."
I should note that I haven't read this book, nor do I know its contents. I don't know if I would like it or agree with the authors' points. That said, I invite my readers, particularly my resident atheist gadflies, to comment. Let the games begin.

hmm… interesting. I know a few people I might send that book to, except it might come back with the comment "See? I've got more faith than you, so HA."
At the very least, I'll be adding it to the long list.

Now, it is possible for all the ones held by people to be that way, but given that theism and atheism exhaust the only possibilities, one needs faith and the other doesn't.
