Dear Reasonable Faith,
I wanted to take the time to thank you guys for all the work you are doing by making resources for Christian thinkers available. In the past year I have really struggled in my faith and was lost. I thought everything I had been told as a child was a lie, as I had been raised my whole life in a Christian home. I thought the new atheists such as Dawkins, Nye, Hitchens, etc had all the Science/logic/reason in the world to believe what they believe and that religion as a whole had no place on the earth/was also harmful to us as humans. I saw their arguments toward secularism, evolution, and anti religion as the only possibility, basically all else was nonsense. I sought answers constantly, I was never satisfied with taking the easy way out. I wanted to believe in a God so badly, (don't we all?) I wanted to have a purpose to live again (as oppose to being a collection of 3 billion cells in constant motion). Anyways, I stumbled upon the work of William Lane Craig, John Lennox, and JP Mooreland on a Biola University video. It was so refreshing to see people who were intelligent, active in pursuit of knowledge, and most of all good role models who were also Christians. I felt like I had reason to believe what I do now and that it wasn't a complete blind leap of faith. It finally meant something to me, which more than anything else, encouraged me to be a better witness for Christ. I feel renewed in my pursuit of Godly and intellectual knowledge more than ever before. But I still have more questions and I hope to see the Reasonable Faith team keep making quality work like they already our doing. Keep it up! You are changing lives constantly and you have changed mine.
I would also like to ask that if a real human sees this email that he/she could email me back regarding a few questions of mine? I still really want to know of more great Christian thinkers whose works I can read. I have looked into all the ones mentioned above, but I still want to read and explore even more.
Thank you,
-Conner (16)
