Faceplant - Debunking Christianity: William Lane Craig On Whether the Witness of the Spirit is Question-Begging

What do you get when a student who's decided much of his teacher's teachings are wrong and that teacher doesn't consider the student worthy or ready to debate? You get this post by John Loftus. He seems real bitter that William Lane Craig won't debate him, but I think it's because of posts like these. Craig is still looking out for his formal student and doesn't seek to utterly discredit and embarrass him in public. I'm not the first or only one who pointed that out. I don't agree with everything that William Lane Craig says but I think his arguments are way more logical and reality based than Lofus'. In this case Loftus bemoans the idea that most committed Christians want to be persuaded by the impossibility of what they believe before they reject it and that it's an impossible

Christians repeatedly are forced into claiming that their faith is possible and demand that we show their faith is nearly impossible before they will consider it to be improbable, which is an utterly unreasonable epistemological standard.

I'm not forced at all into that. Considering the consequences of being wrong about Christianity are much heavier for the atheist than for the born-again believer. Instead of whining that you can't prove that Christianity is impossible, perhaps Loftus should re-evaluate why his soul and eternal destiny mean so little to him that just a possibility that Christianity is not true is good enough for him to reject Christianity. He admits he can't prove it's true only that he doesn't like it. That's it. That's all he's got.
