Here is keen insight that any believer can use to understand and challenge the new atheists

What for years was a little-regarded belief system - atheism - has now gained a large, and increasing, national hearing through the writings of "new atheists" such as Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens.

Predicting David Robertson in the next 24 hours. This prediction is not based on fuzzy feelings but on induction.

How many times must we say it? Atheism is not a 'belief system', it is the complete absence of belief.Probably about the same number of times one has to say Islam is not a race issue (though it can be sometimes ;-))
It's the eerie calm before the storm.

It's been way to quite around here lately. It's the eerie calm before the storm.Indeed...(you got the jink first, damn again!) They will come, they will crash against the gates - annoy the hell out of everyone - then runaway like sissies, claiming victory.

More like the deadzone that is Wednesday....
everyone either ignores them (i mean everyone) or we all pretend to agree with them until they get bored and leave.

I take it as a sign that with the latest books by people like Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennet and all those great thinkers their uncertainty has grown, this is for me just a sign that they are trying to reassure themself by the means of literature ... just like they have to meet on sundays in chruch in order to reassure themself of their beliefs.34.

I know it might be an oxymoron, but are there any decent apologetic/anti-atheism books that aren't either question dodging or full of fallacies? It would be nice to read something that genuinely challenges my views, but every time I have a mooch round the bookshops or amazon I can only find the aforementioned drivel.42.

I know it might be an oxymoron, but are there any decent apologetic/anti-atheismThe Existence of God by Richard Swinburne and Warranted Christian Belief by Alvin Plantinga are supposedly fairly meaty.

But let's be clear about this. These books try to justify the existence of a god without any viable evidence whatsoever.No disagreement from me at all.

If you found Sam Harris's Letter to a Christian Nation compelling, the book you are holding is exactly what you need. Dr. Zacharias exposes the utter bankruptcy of this worldview

These just keep on coming.
What, people who don't compartmentalise their analytic and critical thinking abilities and extend a more rational approach to most, if not all, areas of life?
A challenge would be wonderful - but my psychic powers predict that this will be the usual 'Gives me a fuzzy feeling inside' and 'atheists are nasty'
