John Ankerberg
I have been watching the debates of John Ankerberg. He is an Evangelical Christian TV host of his own (sorry) ghetto-ass TV programme. What I love about some of his programmes is that he'll bring on people of other faiths to debate with Christianity. He is obviously biased BUT he does let the other faiths speak! I appreciate that he lets his "opponent" guests speak without interruption, and that if one of the Christian guests is getting uppity, he'll stop the squabbling. Sometimes the opponent guests look bod, but more often they defend themselves well. I was very impressed with the Baha'i and Catholic guests. The only opponent guests that really made asses of themselves were the Muslims, who were constantly "BUT OURS IS THE ONLY WAY. WE ACCEPT CHRISTIANITY YES BUT YOU MUST ALL BECOME MUSLIM BLARGLARGL." The Muslims also TWISTED their own words and the words of the other side, giving me a headache. "But Mr. Christian, you are UNAWARE of the intricacies of the arabic tongue!" Mr. Christian was an Arab himself who spoke it fluently and had linguistics degrees in other ancient semetic languages! I think he knew what he was talking about!
Although I admired the catholic Jesuit priest, I couldn't finish watching the "Catholocism VS Christianity" debates. Mostly because CATHOLOCISM IS CHRISTIANITY YOU FOOCHTARDS. I find the whole Evangelical Protestant VS Catholic dabates BORING AND GALLING. So you want to have salvations through faith alone, and you believe that faith without works is hollow. Sure, personal belief. Can't we all just get along, foochas? The Evangelicals made gigantic asses of themselves going "NO U, UR WRONG."
The evangelicals were also horrible against the Baha'i guests. The Baha'i layed out their beliefs very clearly and succinctly. Then the evangelical went BUT NO YOU'RE WRONG. It all came down to how to interpret the Bible, with one side interpreting one way, and the other side a different way. Throughout the entire debate, you could hear the evangelical go "you are so funny. You are speaking, but I hear no words." ex:
"YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN JEEEESUS., YOU BELIEVE IN BAHA'ULLAH."
"We believe that Baha'ullah was the return of Jesus Christ, one of many incarnations of God to teach Man."
"SEE YOU JUST SAID IT, BAHA'ULLAH."
"We believe that Baha'ullah and Jesus are the same person."
"TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, YOU JUST SAID IT!"
"Two different names, sir."
"JEEEEEEEEEEEESUS!"
