I didn't believe it until I saw it
Surely, western nations aren't banning respectful, public, moderated dialogues on important issues concerning religion? Think again. I was absolutely blown away by this. If you are a thinking individual who actually cares about your freedom of speech, then you must watch this video. I was honestly laughing out loud (I should have been crying) at the complete and total absurdity of the U.N. "hate speech policy" defender. This is unbelievable. It really is time to wake our nation up and encourage interaction on the public square. Too many are becoming apathetic in the name of "political correctness." And if we keep burying our heads in the sand, you can watch our freedom get flushed right down the toilet. Please pray for our leaders, that we not lose our most precious freedoms.

Its coming folks, and don't say I didn't warn you.
And, following a 2008 U.N. resolution urging nations to outlaw "defamation of religion," several nations - including Italy, the Netherlands and France - are attempting to ban "hate speech" against religious groups.
Right. I can see the U.N. banning the publication of Richard Dawkins' next anti-Christian book. The U.N. is consistent, right? I mean, surely they aren't singling out Muslims and would prosecute anyone who degrades the name of Jesus Christ?
This kind of "political correctness" really disgusts me. When is radical Islam going to grow up and stop strapping bombs to their chests every time someone slanders their "holy prophet?" I hope and pray that our example as Christians can become an example to radical Islam, that responding with sound argument and rationality is far more productive than blowing yourself up. Its truly sad.

24th anniversary of the Stein-Bahnsen debate
When I began studying apologetics, I began with the Creation/Evolution issue. In fact, I studied that issue into the ground. But I always felt like something was missing. My primary sources for arguments and information were Creationist organizations like Institute for Creation Research, who were primarily evidentialists. Eventually, I came across Answers in Genesis, who took a different approach, but I just couldn't figure out what it was. But whatever they did, it made more sense. Eventually, I figured out that they were Presuppositionalists. And after a few years, I started to really grasp this apologetic methodology.
However, it wasn't until I encountered Greg Bahnsen where that light bulb in my head really lit up. And it was his famous debate with Gordon Stein that really got me thinking more deeply about how I engage in apologetics. Recently, Answers in Genesis, has begun a series of apologetic articles describing this methodology in rememberance of the late Dr. Bahnsen. I would very much recommend checking it out. Also, if you aren't familiar with Dr. Bahnsen, go to YouTube and just type "Bahnsen debate" and there are two debates available where you can really see how this brilliant man engaged unbelievers.
