The Difficult Task of Loving Atheists

by Vic Zarley on Podiobooks.com

In 2006, the author found the newly released Richard Dawkins' book, The God Delusion at the library. Shaking his head in disbelief that anyone could think there is no God, he felt God impressing him to go through the book, writing what he thought would be a rebuttal, point by point. Both the author and his wife found Dawkins' words to be full of arrogance, often foolish sounding from the Christian point of view and predictably closed-minded. Yet, the author yearned to understand the mindset of such a man as Dawkins and had a deep burden in his heart for Dawkins' soul. This work is a journal of the thoughts and emotions of the author as he endured the painful and frustrating process of toiling through The God Delusion.Though it was originally meant to be a rebuttal to The God Delusion, the author quickly realized there are brilliant Christian apologists and sharp men and women in Dawkins' own field who are far more adept at arguing on Dawkins' level. So the author found himself lean
