I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

Frank continues his detailed response to a retired attorney who objects to the moral argument. People often find this the most personally relevant argument for God, and that’s perhaps why atheists often object to it the most. However, Frank points out, their objections are often due to misunderstandings or misapplication of evolutionary theory to morality. Listen to this and the first two parts to make sure you’re ready to give a reason for the hope that you have (1 Pet. 3:15).

How good is the moral argument? A retired attorney wrote Frank asserting that we don’t need God for objective morality. Some of his challenges can be summarized in the following questions:

• Does the moral argument depend on everyone agreeing on right and wrong?

• Can human beings construct an objective moral standard independent of God? Couldn’t the majority vote do that?

• Are God’s commands based on God’s desires?

• Are they based on God’s authority?

• Can’t evolution explain morality?

• Do changing views on morality mean there is no objective morality?

• What about moral dilemmas? Do they show morality is relative?

Join Frank as he continues his response to these challenges.

Join Frank as he goes into depth on these and other questions. In fact, this show starts with an analysis of one Presidential candidate’s claim that a church’s tax-exempt status should be revoked if it fails to embrace same-sex marriage. Does this align with the Constitution? And why are churches tax-exempt anyway?

In recent presentations at Fresno State and the University of Arizona, atheists insisted that they just "lack a belief in God", while at the same time rejecting God because they think He is immoral. How should we respond to this?

Is “lacking a belief in God" the proper and helpful definition of atheism?

What questions can you ask atheists who say this?

By what moral standard are atheists judging God to be immoral?

Why atheists have a burden of proof just like Christians

Why Christianity is the best explanation of why reality is the way it is.

Frank also answers questions about “love" being a religion, and why do some OT laws apply to us today, but others don’t.

Warner Wallace guest hosts the show this week and answers a listener email about the nature of “social justice”. What is the definition of this term and how do people typically interpret it? Is social justice commanded in the Jewish and Christian scriptures? Is there a difference between “social justice” and “biblical justice”? If so, how do these two terms differ and how are we, as Christians supposed to respond in this area? J. Warner delineates the differences using an investigative template.
