That is a very good question. I’ve met encountered quite a few people on the internet who seethe with anger when the topic of Christianity is mentioned.There is something more sinister here than a few people not believing in God,” said Comfort. “Why would so many be so bitter against Christianity in particular?
I am torn on this. I generally like these types of discussions. (My university just had a discussion between some Christian debater who focuses on creation and one of our science professor about creation vs. evolution)Ray Comfort
This was my original reaction, too.If the best Christian can do is Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron we are in for a world of hurt. What about Peter Kreeft? N.T. Wright? Timothy Luke Johnson? Mitch Pacwa? Cardianal Avery Dulles etc. These are respected apologist and or authors or clergymen, with legitamate credentials and not some hucksters who sell who to play gotcha with heathens and win an aruguement DVD’s.
Kirk Cameron can bring in somewhat of a higher ratings, I think. But there are certainly more better equipped apologetics out there including those above mentioned.If the best Christian can do is Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron we are in for a world of hurt.

Kirk Cameron can’t bring in the rating to get his own current TV show the last time he attracted people to the television set was 20 years ago as a teenager. Oh Please Laura Ingraham who has a current national radio program and #1 bestselling book would be a far better choice as Cameron does not have either a national radio show or number one book to his credit but a television has been of 20 years ago. There are other Christians who would be better than Cameron as well and of course better apologist than Ray Comfort this duo was selected because they have some DVD’s to hawk pure and simple and this debate will be surely hawked on thier website at a latter date.Kirk Cameron can bring in somewhat of a higher ratings, I think.

Except for the fact Cameron and company regard Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas heretics and believe St Paul taught salvation by faith alone.I’m not familiar with either of those fellows and suspect that if what you all say is true we are indeed in for a world of hurt. I still lament the fact that the only playing field on which we are allowed is the “scientific” (as in modern nominalist based) playing field. Still, the idea of debating I would think probably makes Sts. Paul, Albert the Great, and Thomas Aquinas pleased.

And in Hollywood that would make him a laughingstalk. Bad theology aside the movie was so awful it was laughable. It was not supposed to be a comedy but it turned out that way for me.Kirk Cameron starred in the Left Behind series…
In the Bible Christian world that makes him “Ordained”.
