Dan Day: Greg Answers an Atheist


Listen Later

Greg answers questions from an atheist about why Jesus couldn’t write his own book, what God has been doing all of this time, why Christians don’t read the Bible if it’s the Word of God, God existing “before” time, and whether pastors use fear tactics to get people to tithe.
 
Topics:
  1. Tell us why Jesus, the God of the universe, couldn’t write his own book. (07:00)
  2. Would you care to explain what the all-knowing, all-powerful God of the universe has been doing all of this time? (13:00)
  3. If the Bible is the Word of God, then why do 99% of Christians spend less than 15 minutes a week reading it? Maybe they’re delusional, egotistical hypocrites who fear a man-made, invisible God. Do you even know what epistemology and logical argumentation are? (24:00)
  4. It’s illogical to say that God could exist before time. (35:00)
  5. Do you think Christians pay a 10% tithe because they want to, or is it because the leaders of the church know they can’t survive unless they use fear tactics to convince their congregations they’re sinning if they don’t give 10%? (44:00)
