Podcast Content

For anyone wishing to know the content of my Podcast The World Conquered  before having to sit through any of them:
The next one will address specific Counter-Apologetics from Atheistic perspectives. Several of the most popular Atheist Podcasts are Reasonable Doubts, The Atheist Experience, Freethought Radio and Chariots of Iron. Personally, I find Reasonable Doubts to be the most insightful regarding how Atheism actually views religion in general and Christianity in particularl. I believe The Atheist Experience has been voted the most popular along with their companions The Non-Prophets. Chariots Of Iron has some interesting guests and pull no punches either. I like that.
Freethought Radio is Dan Barker's venture. Dan Barker used to be an Evangelical preacher. An accomplished musician, some of his musicals are still ironically being used in churches. In 1984 he "lost faith in faith".

So, what is it about Atheism that provokes me to this task? I would encourage you to listen to a couple programs for these reasons:
1) They attempt to effectively wrench the Scriptures from our hands. You will hear me say frequently that if they are successful, we are done. Game over. Pack it up; let's go home.
2) They attempt to wrench the Scriptures from  the mind of God.
3) Their insistence that they are not "religious", all-the-while using religious and doctrinal terms regarding their unbelief. e.g. "Evolution gave us..." Mere substitution, in my opinion.
4) Very few arguments are new and we have the whole of Ecclesiastical History from which to draw. Both sides have been argued brilliantly. To the extent that we neglect them is the extent we may be embarrassed in discussion or dispute.
5) We can learn from them. Plain and simple. If they have done their homework, as many have done, and raise valid Q's, we should at least respect them enough to review their sources for objection.

What is being said out there is serious, serious stuff. Their perception of us as sheep in isolation has been met with little objection from the great majority of "Evangelicals" over the last few decades. We prefer to parrot the more well-known names, thinking since they've done some work we don't have to. Not all their work is good, however, and now we're being called on it. There are the many who philosophize as though there were some common ground from which to make appeal, and there are those few who understand Scripture and history and won't let the AHE's wiggle away. I hope to make clear who is who over the course of the Podcasts.
