Can you be a bit descriptive of the method? I am not about to go through a whole website with song to get to the "method" you want to discuss. At first glance however, I saw no link to apologetics, or any discussion OF a method of apologetics.

I have my doubts you really want to discuss it at all, and just want us to click on that link = )

You have other open threads where you brought up subjects for discussion, and have not yet returned to them to answer queries and respond.

Discussion involves asking and answering.

I don't know anything about this man's method. I haven't heard of him. Is his method to keep quiet? I like that method, haha!

Can you post a summary and what your thoughts are on it? Just posting a link without comment isn't helpful to discussion.

That will not do. If you have something specific to discuss, then quote it. I will not reply to videos. If you want skeptics to visit websites and watch videos and make comments, then you should be willing to do the same. Are you willing to do the same? Perhaps you want to always choose whose evidence get discussed.

Why don't you ask Pastor Farrell to send a representive of his organization to this forum? Then you would be able to see how poorly prepared his representative is to debate various issues.

All right. Say something about it and we'll discuss it. What do you like about it and why, is there anything about it you disagree with and why, that sort of thing.

It looks to me like the same old megachurch fundy jabber, with the same Dolly the sheep clone family, the same haircuts, the same old Scofield Babble nonsense. If you feel differently, would you explain your view of it, because now I have to wash the tracking cookies out of my computer.

That wouldn't be Pastor Farrell Till, would it? I like his take on apologetics.

At the website that Bill Joey mentioned, if you click on "articles," this is what you will find:

That is nothing more than preaching, and preaching is not allowed at these forums.

Since preaching is easily accessible everywhere, we certainly do not need Bill Joey to preach to us. I was a fundamentalist Christian for over 30 years, and I already know the Bible very well, as do many if not most other skeptics at this forum. Skeptics do not need to know what the Bible says, they need evidence that the Bible is true.

Farrell Till is one of my favorite skeptics. He demolished James Holding in many debates. I think that is was he who first exposed Holding's real name, which is Robert Turkel, or is it Robert Turkelbuzzard? Oh well, it doesn't make any difference, except possibly to some offended turkey buzzards, in which case I would like to offer my apologies to any offended turkey buzzards.

On one hilarious occasion, Farrell Till posted a picture of Holding at the Internet that looked awful. Till said something like "Behold the hideous visage of Robert Turkel, aka James Holding, aka Jabba the Hut."
