Stuart Knechtle: 我认为基督教是可以被轻松辩护的。它并非基于盲目的信仰,而是建立在耶稣基督的言行、福音书的可靠性以及个人体验之上。耶稣的言论和行为对世界产生了深远的影响,他的教义在文化中随处可见。福音书的可靠性得到了大量文献的支持,并且个人与上帝建立联系的体验可以带来情感和人际关系的治愈。即使是无神论者,在感到感恩时,也常常会感到沮丧,因为他们没有对象可以感谢。在面对苦难时,他们也缺乏最终的答案或客观的评判。因此,我相信基督教信仰在智力上是站得住脚的,并且它能够为人们的生活提供意义和目标。 Dan Barker: 我曾经是一位基督教牧师,但我现在认为基督教不是真的,也不可辩护。基督教有许多不同的版本,教派之间存在分歧和冲突。圣经不是一个好的道德指南,其中包含许多不道德的故事和教义。例如,圣经认可奴隶制,并鼓励人们杀害和残害他们的邻居。此外,圣经还推广了地狱的概念,这是一个残酷的、暴力的宗教。我相信,即使没有上帝,人们也可以过上有意义的生活。无神论者有希望、有目标,有坚实的道德基础。道德归根结底是采取行动以尽量减少伤害。因此,我认为基督教在智力上是站不住脚的,并且它不能为人们的生活提供真正的意义和目标。
