Interesting blog on "The Blasphemy Challenge". I particularly found the audio of the Laura Ingraham show that Brian Sapient appeared on to be quite interesting. I've talked to many-a-knowledgeable atheist (and at least a few who have voiced some respect of my belief and rationality), at least about what they believe and why, and Brian doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the kitchen. I respect those who are making response videos to "challenge the challenge" for their efforts. At the same time, I don't think this battle will be won on the web. (Although, as Christians, we believe the battle over Death and Satan has already been won! We just need to keep spreading that Word to those around us -- I'm a firm believer in relational apologetics being the most effective form.) While Protestants and Catholics have their own issues to work out, we share a common goal in teaching the world about the Hope that is Christ Jesus. Frank,
