“Jesus refers to the poor over and over again. There are 2,000 verses of Scripture that call upon us to respond to the needs of the poor. And yet, I find that when Christians talked about values in this last election that was not on the agenda, that was not a concern. If you were to get the voter guide of the Christian Coalition, that does not rate. They talk more about tax cuts for people who are wealthy than they do about helping poor people who are in desperate straits.” PeopleIfsNeedsDoeHelpingChristianLastsValuesJesusPoorChristianityCuttingTaxesConcernElectionRateGuidesScriptureDesperateAgendasWealthyVotersVersesPoor PeopleCoalitionsTax CutsHelp Poor People Author:Tony Campolo
“As for Christianity's alleged concern with truth, Christian faith is to free inquiry what the Mafia is to free enterprise. Christianity may be represented as a competitor in the realm of ideas to be considered on the basis of its merits, but this is mere disguise. Like the Mafia, if Christianity fails to defeat its competition by legitimate means (which is a forgone conclusion), it resorts to strong-arm tactics. Have faith or be damned - this biblical doctrine alone is enough to exclude Christianity from the domain of reason.” IfsMayMeanIdeasReasonEnoughChristianStrongChristianityFailingAtheismArmsConcernBasesCompetitionMereDefeatPositive AtheismDoctrineConclusionMeritRealmsEnterpriseHave FaithBiblicalDisguiseInquiryCompetitorsDomainTacticsResortsMafiaChristian FaithFree EnterpriseStrong Arms Book:Atheism: The Case Against God Source: Atheism: The Case Against God
“Christianity does not claim to convey merely religious truth, but truth about all reality.

“Indeed, some secularists are so worried about Christianity, they think Christians are about as dangerous as Muslim terrorists. They get really worried when we don't invest our lives in this-worldly concerns. They look on us as unpredictable free agents. When we reject their relativism and make absolutist spiritual claims, they look at us as nervously as they would a terrorist with a suicide bomb strapped to his back. Of course, Christians are not into coercion in any form. But it is very hard to persuade secularists of that.” ThinkingLooksHardChristianSpiritualFormCoursesChristianityOur LivesDangerousConcernClaimsSuicideTerroristAgentsWorriedBombsRejectsUnpredictableWorldlyGet RealCoercionRelativismFree AgentsMuslim Terrorists Author:Mark Dever
“The word "Christian" means something in particular. The basic outline and general truths and doctrines central to Christianity have been hammered out over 2000 years of reflection on the teachings of Jesus and his apostles. If you disagree with these foundational concerns - the kinds of things I focus on in The Story of Reality - then you're simply not a Christian.” KindMeanRealityChristianJesusChristianityFocusTeachingReflectionConcernDisagree Author:Greg Koukl
“Don’t concern yourself with being right in others’ eyes. And don’t secretly hope that their lives will fall apart so that your opinion will be vindicated.
