I wonder why Varghese does not sue.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps they just don't want Flew on the witness stand talking about 'The Steven Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983601793874190779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-50183955331742268232007-11-12T22:51:00.000-08:002007-11-12T22:51:00.000-08:00Flew says he did.Flew says he did.Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761410435140602771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-19342145128611503872007-11-11T12:57:00.000-08:002007-11-11T12:57:00.000-08:00Does anybody in their right mind think that Flew w...Does anybody in their right mind think that Flew wrote a book whose title calls him 'The World's Most Notorious Atheist'?<BR/><BR/>Is that how Flew refers to himself?<BR/><BR/>Reality check here, folks....Steven Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983601793874190779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-79090549988475313012007-11-08T21:19:00.000-08:002007-11-08T21:19:00.000-08:00I haven't posted here in a very long time...nice t...I haven't posted here in a very long time...nice to see the Layman still writing, and the new voices and old.<BR/><BR/>I think this is a remarkable shift for Flew, and wish him grace. If he genuinely steps back from Christianity because of the OT, I find that sad. A mind like his would find other ways to read the OT given time; the Christian scholars who do so are many.

Anyway, if he wasn't old, they'd just say he was wrong, so either way I don't understand all the commotion from their side.
