Not that long ago, when I was teetering between theism and atheism, I never could quite cross over to atheism. I spent a lot of time watching debates, and looking at scientific studies etc, to get to the bottom of the common objections. Some I settled, others I haven't. But, the whole of atheism always struck me as hopeless & nihilistic. It was another form of slavery, to naturalism and materialism, and I know now crossing that line was to give up freedom for bondage. Jesus is the only freedom.

Wow. Incredibly convicting... God, please lead me from idols.

Tim is a gift. God has blessed him with the wisdom of his word to give to us!

Dr. Keller's ability to analyze and articulate the condition of the human heart, struggles, and brokenness is unparalleled and a true gift. His lectures Counterfeit gods and The Search for Happiness- which he delivered 20 years ago at Redeemer NYC- are timeless, powerful and most profound messages I've ever come across. Every person can benefit from these insightful messages- perhaps even change your life.

I don't know if you even chanced upon David. B. Hart's "Christ and Nothing", you can find it online. He makes a good point about nihilism being the only other alternative ever since Jesus. It's worth reading.

Is there a script? I'd like to have it

Why didn't those post-2008 suicides re-earn their money?  That's what so many other bankers have done.  (Unless the suicides committed crimes for which they knew they'd be convicted.)
