Hitchens wasn't selling books, I imagine because his work "God Is Not Great" is hardly new at this point.<BR/><BR/>I think D'Souza's books probably sold reasonably well, though it's a bit hard to judge.<BR/><BR/>One nice thing the debaters did was forego their concluding statement time to take additional questions from the audience.CrypticLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05313033952671292402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36847074.post-7192289218472418522007-10-24T16:47:00.000-07:002007-10-24T16:47:00.000-07:00Thanks for the report, Cryptic."it felt as though ...Thanks for the report, Cryptic.<BR/><BR/>"it felt as though they were going through a secretly collusive dance for the benefit of the audience.

I, MICKY, AM A GIFT TO ALL PEOPLE. Are you a PSYCHOPATH? Were you ABUSED as a child? Are you in HELL? How do you FELL, MR ATHEIST?<BR/>FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD:<BR/>John 3:16 (chapter 3, verse 16 of the Gospel of John) is one of the most widely quoted verses from the Christian Bible. It has been called the "Bible in a nutshell" because it is considered a summary of some of the most central doctrines of traditional Christianity:<BR/><BR/>16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (King James Version)<BR/><BR/>A typical interpretation of the verse might be as follows:<BR/><BR/> * For God so loved the world… — God is a God of love and this love motivates his action in the rest of the verse<BR/> * …that He gave… — God giving something to the world of humanity that He owned, His Son as a sacrifice<BR/> * …His only begotten[1] Son… — the Firstborn of all creation Jesus of Nazareth is also the Son of God.<BR/> * …that whosoever… — that any one<BR/> * …believeth… — being saved is based on faith and trust in Jesus to save or faith<BR/> * …in Him… — the belief being in Jesus, God's means of salvation for humanity<BR/> * …shall not perish… — implies the fate of those who do not believe: spiritual eternal death<BR/> * …but have everlasting life. — shows the reward of those who believe: eternal life<BR/> * Peace Be With You<BR/> * MickyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.com
