A Christian or an Atheist?

I had the opportunity to help out over at the A Christian and an Atheist podcast today. The topic: “Why is Scott Barger Still a Christian?” An interesting question. It seems I have significant doubts about many Christian doctrines these days and Emery was wondering why I am hanging on to something I consider to be so riddled with flaws.

It made for an interesting discussion, I thought, as I tried to justify why I believe what I believe when there are so many things I’m not sure I understand. If any of my loyal readership is interested you can search for the podcast on iTunes, or at achristianandanatheist.com

Great job on the podcast!

I think you were on to something at the end. I think the major "apologetic" for God is the life of the church. If there is a God, surely He can do what He says He can do. He says He can changes lives; can He? I think the work of the Holy Spirit in the church is the major way God evidences himself today.

However, you brought up a good point--the "statistics" suggest that God isn't doing a very good job. But, if they were going to do a show on this in the future, they would have to be careful of the methodological problem of identifying who really is a Christian.
