I think too many people misunderstand libertarians. It’s not about blindly worshipping Ron Paul or any other libertarian thinker. For me, it’s about the absence of coercion. I am a libertarian because I value my freedom and yours. I want for each of you to have the liberty to pursue your goals, create your future, mold your life around what you enjoy doing without the limitations...

This book has revolutionized the way I do apologetics. Read it now.
In a world increasingly indifferent to Christian truth, followers of Christ need to be equipped to communicate with those who do not speak their language or accept their source of authority. Gregory Koukl demonstrates how to get in the driver’s seat, keeping any conversation moving with thoughtful, artful diplomacy....

They’re called credits around here. When you first said units way back when, I had no idea what you were talking about.
Oh, must be a west-coast and/or California thing. They were called units in high school for me, too.

That’s intriguing. How can you find someone to instruct you in Christian Philosophy at a secular college?
All it entails is that I combined courses from the Humanities/Religious Studies department and the Philosophy department that have more relevance to doing Philosophy from a Christian perspective. I...

haha that’s perfectly fine. My major is technically Religious Studies, but I’m centering it to Apologetics. What about you?
Nice. I created a special major and so I am getting a BA in Christian Philosophy from a secular institution, ftw! :)

Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics, but I’m looking WAY far into the future. I’m only a freshman in college.
That’s great! I know a guy who is about to finish that program this semester (I think). I could ask him for tips, if you’d like. Well, I’m only a Sophomore in college, myself.

I’m going to be upset if the release date for the paperback of The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology gets pushed back one more time. Why are you doing this to me?? (I can’t actually buy it at the moment, anyway, but still).
