We continue with Chapter 2 of “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6).

Dr. Stokes, invoking David Hume, calls atheists to be better skeptics of what is presented as known truths of the world. Hume is the philosopher that many atheists/new atheists trace back to questioning the existence of God.

However, Hume doesn’t appear to take his skepticism far enough and atheists of today don’t see the implications of what Hume has taken on.

Atheists should be skeptical of objective moral laws, their own senses, induction, and reason.

Dr. Stokes sets the stage for how to be a good skeptical atheist by invoking David Hume. Hume is the philosopher that many atheists/new atheists trace back to questioning the existence of God.

However, Hume doesn’t appear to take his skepticism far enough and atheists of today don’t see the implications of what Hume has taken on.

We begin our new book “How To Be An Atheist” by Mitch Stokes (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6).

In this book, Dr. Mitch Stokes challenges everyone to be a sober skeptic.  He points out the views that atheists claim to hold are either inconsistent or don’t go far enough.  He challenges atheists to think more about what they are claiming and if they want to be skeptical – keep going.

It is not only a book for atheists but a book for Christians as they look at the other side’s worldview and see where the inconsistencies lie – especially when it’s wrapped up in the shield of “SCIENCE” and “REASON”.  We are challenged to be sober skeptics as well and to think through what it really means to hold the claims we do.

Today we announce what our second book is. To get a copy and help support the show check out the link here – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6

We will be going over “How to Be an Atheist: Why Many Skeptics Aren’t Skeptical Enough” by Dr. Mitch Stokes.

From Amazon’s description:

Atheists talk a lot about the importance of skepticism. But the truth is, they’re not nearly skeptical enough.

While atheists champion the importance of a critical stance toward religion, they often fail to take that same stance toward their own beliefs. This double standard results in grandiose claims about the certainty of their unbelief―which is logically inconsistent at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. Turning atheists’ skepticism around on their own naturalist worldview, philosopher Mitch Stokes critically examines two things that such skeptics hold dear―science and morality―and reveals deep inconsistencies among their most cherished beliefs, inconsistencies that threaten to undo atheism itself.

Today we finish the last chapter of Dr. Jason Lisle’s book, Keeping Faith in the Age of Reason (Amazon Link – https://amzn.to/2JBM4tc).

The conclusion covers a brief overview of the superiority of the Christian worldview over the naturalistic one. The Christian worldview is the only consistent one that allows for the justification of science, logic, and morality. Even the unbeliever must assume the Christian worldview too.

During the middle of this week we’ll also announce our next book starting next week!

This week we take a quick break before we finish up Dr. Lisle’s book.  We are excited to welcome author and pastor Scott Christensen to the show as our first interview.

Scott has written a great book on the subject of human free will called “What About Free Will? Reconciling Our Choices With God’s Sovereignty”  Click the link to get the book and help support Cave To The Cross a little.

Scott presents both sides of the argument in a fair and accurate way – that of libertarian free will and compatibilism.  He also establishes a biblical outlook on the issue and what the outcomes of those beliefs have on certain Christian issues.

Scott had originally written an article on Tim Challie’s blog covering his top ten books on the subject.  That can be found here – https://www.challies.com/sponsored/the-top-10-books-on-reconciling-divine-sovereignty-and-free-will/

In the interview with Patrick and Tony, he discusses how his book is laid out and briefly covers the two main arguments.  If he’s on our show he, of course, has to talk about how someone’s worldview is impacted in what side of the issue they fall on.  He also talks about what the subject means when it comes to things like our understanding of salvation, God, and apologetics is.

We are very excited to welcome Scott to the show and hope you are blessed and will share this interview with others as we talk about such an important topic that many churches haven’t discussed enough.

For this episode, Patrick and Tony go over just one question as it’s a practical way of doing apologetics as a whole.

Many people have not heard of presuppositional apologetics when it comes to defending or presenting the Christian faith. However, it is quickly becoming a more popular and helpful approach as we present the world with the truth of the Gospel.

We feel like it was important to take the time to go into more detail about this approach and why we find it so compelling.
