Read MoreFour Variations of Atheist Youtubers
I've made response videos to 24 atheists over the past few months. The stereotype doesn't always fit! Not all atheist youtube channels are the same, and the differences are important.

Read MoreWhat's Hell & Why Are Many Atheists Still Afraid? (with responses to Cosmic Skeptic & Tracie Harris)
For many atheists, the seemingly unfair nature of hell is too hard to swallow. On the other hand, a lot of them continue to fear the possibility of hell even years after rejecting Christianity. It just might be that much of this has to do with misunderstandings about the nature of God, and what Christians actually believe about the ultimate state of the unbeliever. In this episode, we'll take a look at what atheists are saying, and lay out the Christian positions on the issue.

Read MoreChristopher Hitchens: A Christian Response to His Most Popular Statements
It is with great reverence that I respond to the late great anti-theist, Christopher Hitchens. There is much to commend about the man, even from a Christian perspective. Naturally, there is much that he said to which believers may object. In this video, I deconstruct his typical case against theism with an eye toward charity. I recognize that though he likely would not have responded to a youtube video, at least in life he could have. He cannot respond now, and I admit that this is a bit unfair. Nevertheless, I believe he would approve of the endeavor. It is out of respect for the man that I take his ideas seriously, and criticize them straightforwardly.
