An Atheist Reads The Case for Christ: Chapter 7

"I went to an evangelical school through middle school and we read the "for teens" version of this book in 8th grade. That book was the reason I started questioning the validity of the bible. The "proof" that was presented was…"

Alex replied to dragotron's discussion 'I'm not religious, I'm spiritual'
