Funny how God does that.  (WEB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So that brings us to the series part of the post.  First up, the guys over at TeamPyro did an apologetic series called &#8220;Redneck Atheism&#8221; in which they dealt with a number of popular anti-theist memes.  I would recommend this series as a survey of Biblical apologetics and confronting the culture of today.  Each article deals with one or more popular objections to Christianity, which I&#8217;ve included in parenthesis.  Yes, I can see for #5 that it&#8217;s quite redundant (WEB):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/unquestioning-christians-and-atheistic.html\">&#8220;Unquestioning Christians&#8221; and Atheistic Bluster (Introduction)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism.html\">Redneck Atheism (Monotheism and Evolution)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism-is-christianity-really.html\">Is Christianity Really Polytheism (Polytheism)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/whither-redneck-atheism.html\">Whence &#8220;Redneck&#8221; Atheism (How Did The Series Get Its Name)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism-part-3-prayer.html\">Prayer (Prayer)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism-science-vs-ethusiasm.html\">Science vs. Enthusiasm (Science)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism-biblical-ignorance.html\">Biblical Ignorance (Uninformed Christians)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/redneck-atheism-hypocrisy-of-secular.html\">The Hypocrisy of Secular Humanism (Moral Contradiction)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/teampyro.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/i-doubt-it.html\">I Doubt It (Agnosticism\/Conclusion)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Over at the Resurgence, they&#8217;ve got two interesting series going on.
