I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Ten Tips for Atheists to Consider This Easter

from John Dickson:
___
As an intellectual movement, Christianity has a head start on atheism. So it's only natural that believers would find some of the current arguments against God less than satisfying.

In the interests of a more robust debate this Easter, I want to offer my tips for atheists wanting to make a dent in the Faith. I've got some advice on arguments that should be dropped and some admissions about where Christians are vulnerable.

The ten tips and commentary on them can be found here.

And no doubt there are atheists who would like to offer tips for believers. That's fair enough. Perhaps if there were more true, honest, and respectful dialogue there wouldn't necessarily be agreement, but a better understanding of each other's views that might help to avoid the caricatures offered of the other on both sides.
