Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist. Menu Relationship with apologist changes heart of atheist JUNE 5, 2024 | SOURCE: TEXAS BAPTISTS Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health, struck up a long-distance friendship with Daniel Nieto at a time when Nieto considered himself an atheist. (Texas Baptists Photo) Teresa Young SHARE THIS ARTICLE FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailShare After deciding the church didn’t have answers to his many questions about spiritual matters and the soul, Daniel Nieto declared himself an atheist at age 15. From that point, he dove into YouTube video debates between Christians and atheists, never encountering anyone who could change his opinion. “My favorite debaters were atheists, and they made sense to me at the time. I knew there were geniuses who were Christians, but I felt like they were wrong,” said Nieto, a 32-year-old resident of Bakersfield, Calif. “I was debating online all the time, but no one could answer my questions.” In late 2021, Nieto watched a debate between Aron Ra, an atheist activist, and Eric Hernandez, apologetics lead and millennial specialist with Texas Baptists’ Center for Church Health. Expecting the same results he always had experienced—Christians with weak arguments being blown away by the strong-spoken atheists—Nieto was surprised to see the opposite outcome. “I’m really into philosophy, and when I started hearing Eric talk, he was pointing out things I’d never thought about before. It blew my mind a little, and I feel like Aron embarrassed himself in that debate,” recalled Nieto, noting he watched the debate at least a dozen times.

I will be using this thread to highlight the daily alerts I get from Google on the subject of atheism. I will share links, along with thoughts, on articles that pop up, UNLESS those articles force a discussion of politics. The topics raised by each article is fair game for exploration and discussion. The source of the articles are also fair Gane in determining whether they are trustworthy or biased. If you believe I let a political topic slip in, report it or let me know and I will delete it.

Depending on your point of view, you might say he was at risk of being ejected for too much partying.

"The way that you hold me whenever you hold me, there's some kind of magic inside you that keeps me from running, but just keep it comin'. How'd you learn to do the things you do?"

"I got married to the widow next door, she's been married seven times before."

Was not Elvis, was not Graceland, and was not due to the property being sold. (There's no way to spin property being sold as appropriate for a rock-and-roller....)

Office Space? No, you're a trekkie George so my guess is Star Trek.

I heard the song, "Let the River Run" won her an Oscar for Best Original Song. Good job WordWolf getting that from just one line.

To Kill a Mockingbird? Okay, not that funny. "Lost in Space" Raf, am I right? "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

WhatEVAH! WW is up. George

Graceland may be up for sale (some funny business has it on hold right now); but that might mean Elvis could be moved. Is that it? George

The Fugitive "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!" George

"Mr. Scott, you've earned your pay for the week." George

I thought we didn't wait for confirmation on the one-line/EZ games

Yes Carly Simon, but just getting the song was enough for that one

OK, I've got one. Possibly the most rock-and-roll way to be remembered, what rocker was still at risk of being ejected from where he was staying decades AFTER he DIED? (And why?)

"I didn't kill my wife!" "I don't care!"
