Does God Exist?

In our small group meeting on Sunday, we watched Does God Exist? The Nightline Face-Off.  Members of the Rational Response Squad squared off with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort to debate the existence of God.  I’ve watched it twice and both times my emotions have been stirred.

In my opinion, The Blasphemy Challenge created by the Rational Response Squad is the greatest tragedy.  Here is an excerpt from the website:

The Rational Response Squad is giving away 1001 DVDs of The God Who Wasn’t There, the hit documentary that the Los Angeles Times calls “provocative — to put it mildly.”

There’s only one catch: We want your soul.

It’s simple. You record a short message damning yourself to Hell, you upload it to YouTube, and then the Rational Response Squad will send you a free The God Who Wasn’t There DVD. It’s that easy.

I wonder if people are accepting the challenge because they get something “free” in return.  I wonder if they truly understand the magnitude of this decision.  Selling your soul for a DVD seems idiotic but people do it all the time for far less.  The Bible tells us, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18)

By the way, the “applause” from the audience was largely in favor of the atheists.
