who knew? Ok, the Foolish Galatian did. R.C. Sproul’s Ligonier Ministries has a blog. the top post right now is an article called Truth and Consequences by Gene Edward Veith. Gene begins the article like this:
The old atheists maintained that belief in God is not true. The new atheists maintain that belief in God is not good. The atheists’ problem, though, is that however much they attack belief in God, their own worldview lacks all appeal. They get hung up on the last remaining absolute: Atheism is not beautiful. It is so depressing.
and it just gets better after that. He talks about Albert Camus (he shared the existential nihilism of the Joker) and Pullman’s Golden Compass books. Very good stuff.
