More FV Clarifications

Posted on Wednesday, May 9, 2007Thursday, March 15, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

My apologies to Green Baggins for taking so long to answer his questions. I have been up to my neck in discussions with atheists. For the same reason, my answers here will be brief, and may come across like a laundry list, but I hope they will still be able to do the work of …

Another Potent Reply

Posted on Wednesday, May 9, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

If you are on an atheist jag as I am (and why shouldn’t you be?), you really ought to get The Return of the Village Atheist. American Vision published it at the same time they published my Letter from a Christian Citizen. I got my copy the other day, and just finished it last night. …

Stalin Has No God, Including Hitchens

Posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

I need to check and see if Congress declared this National Hitchens Week or something. His next chapter in God is Not Great asks the question: “Does Religion Make People Behave Better?” We have noted before that the question is framed improperly. It is like asking “Does Anything Going By the Name of Medical Treatment …

Inflation as Theft

Posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 116 “Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord” (Prov. 20:10). The obvious reference of this passage would be the dishonest butcher with his thumb on the scales. In a sinful world, merchants have …

The Debate at CT

The beginning of the Hitchens/Wilson debate is now posted at Christianity Today and can be found here.

In the Name of Reason

Posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

In chaper twelve, Hitchens stops arguing fallaciously from the presumed origin of all religions, and argues briefly, but equally fallaciously, from the collapse of relgious movements. He makes this case on the basis of the collapse of one religious movement. “It can be equally useful and instructive to take a glimpse at the closing of …

More on the Atheism Front

Posted on Monday, May 7, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

I have some fun developments to report on the ongoing atheism discussion. First, we are getting some good reviews on Letter from a Christian Citizen. Here is a short but helpful blurb from Phillip Johnson, a man who is doing more than his share to keep Darwinists on their toes. “Douglas Wilson provides a good-natured …

You Have to Leave Wichita Too

Posted on Monday, May 7, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

As we continue through this book, it is becoming more and more apparent that Hitchens’ gods — science and reason — are really starting to let him down. In the previous chapter, Hitchens said in passing that “the argument from authority’ is the weakest of all arguments” (p. 150). And how do you know that? …

On Mulberry Street

Posted on Sunday, May 6, 2007Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

In the first place, I think there must have been an editorial mishap in the assigned title of Hitchens’ next chapter. It was “The Tawdriness of the Miraculous and the Decline of Hell.” The chapter is about the former, and not about the latter at all. I can only conjecture that it was at one …

Minister: Lift up your hearts! Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord! I cried out to God, Aloud with my voice. I cried to the Lord, Making supplication With my voice. My complaint poured out of me, I laid before Him my troubles. When my spirit staggered, You knew the path I was on. …
