How often do we challenge our beliefs, faith, and convictions? Seems that it is easy to be a Christian when everyone agrees with me. However, these discussions always cause people to ask questions and explore their faith and what others believe. It also is a challenge to our ethics. One thing I always point out to the kids is that these speakers are very moral people. If you are raised with the belief that those in Christ are the only moral people--you will be sadly mistaken. In fact, many atheists suggest that Christianity can be an excuse to lack morals (we are all sinners but thanks to Jesus for making me better). We are also accused of fostering an environment of ignorance (questioning your faith or education will actually cause you to leave the faith).
This provides a great opportunity to correct these errors.
In April the three groups (atheist, agnostic, Christian) will have a discussion/debate over Anthony Flew's book There is a God.
