Alister McGrath: Why faith makes sense. The Highfield Lectures (Edited) from ian.wyllie@exior.co.uk on Vimeo.
- How is the idea that Christ is simultaneously God Himself and His son intelligible and coherent?
- How is Christianity more intelligible and coherent than Judaism and/or Islam?
- How is Christianity doing compared to Judaism and Islam?
- Has Christianity become associated with the ideology of the West who want to spread the abomination of gay marriage all over the world?
- Both C S Lewis and J R Tolkein are children's writers. Why would any intelligent adult think these two writers of children's fiction have anything interesting or authoritative to say about Christianity?
- McGrath seems to be saying that it is just a matter of choosing the story you prefer. The exercise of reason must surely be more than just such an individual and subjective preference.
- The best stories of the Bible are in the Old Testament. http://www.learningscriptures.info/bible-stories-old-testament/If you agree with this, does that mean you should choose Judaism as your religion?
- There are no good stories at all in the New Testament. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Testament_stories
- What about stories in the Koran?
- Should you choose your religion on the basis of the stories you like to hear or choose your religion on the rules you think society should best live by?
- Is Christianity the religion of the neocons, which Islamic State has more or less declared war against?
