Charlie Campbell - Concise Answers to Atheists’ Objections and Questions, Part 1

Guest Speaker Mr. Charlie Campbell opens up Part 1 of this seminar with Jude 1:3 (“contend earnestly for the faith”) and then offers concise two-to-five-minute answers to a variety of objections that atheists bring up about God and the Bible:
• “The Bible condones slavery!”
• “The God of the Old Testament commanded genocide, the wiping out of the Canaanite people in the Book of Joshua.”
• “Surely God doesn’t exist. If He did, He’d appear to us in a public setting and prove it to the world.”
• “The universe is so vast! It’s foolish to think a god built a universe billions of light years across just to have a personal relationship with you.”
• “The Bible was written by men! It’s not trustworthy.”
• “After the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian in AD 312, the Roman Empire took control of the Bible and tampered with its contents to better control the people.”
• “The New Testament authors stole the whole idea for Jesus’s virgin birth and resurrection from ancient religions that were around prior to Christianity.”
• “Keep the Bible out of people’s bedrooms. What two consenting adults do is their business. They have the right to do whatever they’d like to do.”
• “Why do Christians persist in judging, when Jesus said not to judge?”
• “The Bible is oppressive and harmful to women!”
• “Religions, Christianity included, are responsible for most of the world’s wars, suffering, and atrocities!”
• “Evolution is a proven fact.”
