The Christian conflict

Christianity holds that you are a sinner, miserable and in need of A God to send his son down to save you, but you are a worm. However, the entire universe was made for you. These two claims are not only mutually exclusive, but seek to compensate for one another.

    And not all Christian theology holds to this.

    Orthodoxy is much more optimistic as to the nature of man and sin.

    I thought the topic was "Does God Exist". Craig doesn't even need to defend attacks against Biblical claims. C'mon Hitchens! Try harder!

    He took that from Pascal who noted the same thing, but came to the opp. conclusion.

    I predict hitchens will say that God waited 98,000 years to intervene in human history.

    Whoops, I just realized my statement is totally wrong. I forgot Craig introduced the empty tomb argument. For some reason I thought he was taking the purely natural theology approach. Sorry!

    There's this "entire universe was made for you" stuff again. Crikey.
