WOTM: The Case for Christ
Yes, I went out this weekend and spent two hours of my life watching the latest in Christian Cinema just so you wouldn't have to. I read the book years after it came out, and have been waiting around forever hoping they'd finally turn it into a movie. Hallelujah!
Honestly, a religious person I knew years ago challenged me to read the book and not find the evidence compelling. I did. And I didn't. I challenged that same person to read The Case Against The Case for Christ, but that never happened. Grrrr.
This video deals with a few minor specific points before I get to the big problem I have with both the book and movie — the bait and switch Strobel pulls on his readers. It's so contemptible! But along the way, I think there's some fun stuff. So, enjoy!

Oh... my. Yet another example of typical religious evangelism that suffers death from a thousand cuts by Occam's razor. So why didn't he consult Islam scholars to make a "case for Allah"? Or Hindu gurus with a "case for Vishnu"? Or Náhuatl shamans and a "case for Huitzilopochtli"? Hell, he might as well have chatted with YBU apologists to produce a "case for Elohim." Tsk.
Brian, you are stronger than I am. My sister gave be a copy of "The Case..." and I couldn't read more than three pages before coming to the same conclusion you did. You are a warrior my friend, and I am proud to support your efforts.
