After all, C.S. Lewis was a pretty determined atheist before God opened his heart and mind! Yeah, it was a bit harsh I agree Dan, we should definitely be praying for Dawkins and others like him.

I have just recently watched a 2007 Atheistic Alliance Convention DVD and I was alarmed at how they mirepresented Christianity. The Christian resolve to see this ideology/philosophy/postulating debunked is in no way helped by poor and uninformed opinion and perspective. In the DVD he pulled up Youtube clips (which we all know is a credible source)that argued against himself, which were were so poorly informed and that he used them to support his own premise that Christianity is stupid and is nothing more than a social engineering tool to manipulate the masses. You've mentioned Eph. 4 and we can also look at 1 Cor 1, in particular verse 21, 'Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?' Most certainly. Let's pray that God will soften the hearts of men like Dawkins that he might see truth in what seems so foolish. Harsh but fair.
