How Christians Should React to Bill Maher's Shocking Statements

How Christians Should React to Bill Maher's Shocking Statements: "Every time comedian and talk show host Bill Maher blasts Christianity, calls Christians idiots or describes God as a “psychopathic mass murderer” the web lights up.

Religious news sites like Christian Post, Charisma News or the Christian section of Huffington Post carry the story with headlines expressing shock, and their readers dutifully respond with hysterical blog posts by the thousands.

Is God Real? Common, Objective Moral Standards Are an Evidence of God’s Existence | Cold Case Christianity

Is God Real? Common, Objective Moral Standards Are an Evidence of God’s Existence | Cold Case Christianity: "The Axiological Argument for the existence of God relies on the existence of objective, transcendent moral truths (i.e. “It’s never morally permissible or virtuous to torture babies for fun”). But not everyone agrees these truths exist in the first place, even though they often seem self-evident. Many who do accept the existence of transcendent moral truths still deny a transcendent moral truth Giver."
