Copyright 1994 by the Christian Research Institute. It may come as a surprise to many Christians to discover that all atheists are not alike.
Atheists argue differently depending on what it is that grounds their unbelief.
In this first of two installments I will discuss two ways in which atheists attempt to explain and defend their atheism. I will also offer suggestions as to how Christians can successfully answer some of the claims made by atheists and effectively present the claims of Jesus Christ. In Part Two I will examine some of the traditional arguments for God's existence. This, however, is a false assertion. This is unlike debating a proposition such as God does exist, where the burden of proof rests entirely with the affirmative side.
