You know how I talked about my friend Keller who said government is like a corporation? Well, he's a deist (meaning he believes God created the universe and left) and we have debates on religion. He uses the Bible to create arguments and questions, and then he comes back and I use the Bible to counter his arguments. Sometimes he'll come back later and ask about one of my arguments. It's actually kind of fun, because he isn't one of those people who will never concede a point or admit that he's wrong. He comes up with really good questions and pushes them if I haven't answered well enough.
So the thing is, what if someone went and threw these questions at someone who didn't know the answers? I've got a fairly minor grounding in certain apologetics, but I think that a good background in apologetics is important to have so that when a person like my friend Keller comes and asks you about a seeming contradiction, you don't leave him or her with the impression that they've hit upon a problem that's unanswerable.
(Oh, and if you're an atheist reading this, ask the questions that bother you instead of just assuming that we're stupid. There's been a lot of research and reasoning put into justifying Christianity.)
