The Testimony of an Atheist

October 1, 2008
How one Becomes an Atheist
The great bugaboo for atheists is the sovereignty of God and the problem of evil. They cannot believe that God can be sovereign while they are not. Kevin Swanson refers to several testimonies of atheists on this segment of Generation. He points out that the atheist cannot take evil seriously because he has no standard by which he could even define it. Illustrating the internal incoherence of the atheist worldview, he demonstrates how Christians have the best explanation for the problem of evil in the world.

The world would never be the same again. Kevin Swanson takes the reader through the 2,000 year worldwide saga of this epochal mission to the world. From Judea to Rome, Ireland, Denmark, China, Japan, Uganda, New Zealand, and to the uttermost parts of the earth, the light of Christ shines into the darkness, transforming every nation throughout the centuries.

Defining Love Amidst accusations of being a most "unloving" radio program, Kevin Swanson sets out to define love. What did Rudyard Kipling mean when he wrote, "It started by loving his neighbor, and ended by loving his wife?" Or what does a cannibal mean when he says, "I love this guy?" Jesus said, "If you love me, you'll keep my commandments." The law of God must define love, and Kevin Swanson suggests that Christians might be more relevant to ethical discussion, if they would acknowledge an objective law.

The Family Integrated Church Is the church working to dis-integrate the family or re-integrate the family? Churches are beginning to grapple with the long-term weaknesses of a disintegrated family, and are returning to God's principles governing church-family relationships. Kevin Swanson interviews Bo Skein, a pastor who captured this vision in the 1990s for father-based, family-oriented child discipleship. This program describes the relational model of church-life in a programmic, post-modern age.

God As England considers euthanasia, and as America takes another monumental step towards total socialism, Kevin Swanson suggests that the laws of the God of heaven are still in stone. Reacting to the fear of circumstances and the market collapsing, men will resort to breaking God's laws. But if we reacted to the fear of God, we might resort to keeping God's laws.

Why Women Won't Have Babies A demographic winter sweeps across continents, and even evangelical Christian leaders won't face the cause of it. Women don't want to have babies, because they aren't raised with a vision for it. Women are raised for careers. Well, here's a father who is not raising his daughter for a career. He's actually embracing God's vision for daughters. We know it's weird. We know it's unpopular. We know it's politically incorrect. But we don't care. Because this is what it will take to save a civilization, and glorify God in the process. We're raising daughters to be what God wants them to be, not what Gloria Steinem or even Sarah Palin wants.

How One Man makes a Big Difference Of all the problems that plague modern society, none is more fundamental or so devastating as the lack of manhood and fatherhood. What could be more heart-wrenching than the rising rate of boys who have no father, no mentor, no man to disciple them? In a day where 70% of boys will not reach manhood by age 30, how will a boy learn to be a man of God, unless there is a man who can show him how to be a man? Enter a man with the heart and vision for boys raised in fatherless homes. Kevin Swanson interviews Bob Drake from Mentorme.org, about the needs, the opportunities, and the blessings in making a difference in the life of one solitary boy.

Who's in Control Here? For just a couple of days, for a brief moment in time, the masters of Wall Street admitted that "things were out of control." Even the normal, straight-shooting Wall Street Journal screamed like baby for most of the week. Man wants to think that he's in control of his own destiny, and therefore can play by his own rules. But Kevin Swanson makes the point that every empire comes down, when it refuses to fear the living and the true God. As it turns out, only God is in sovereign control of the outcome. It is ours to fear Him and keep His commandments. We move from the Wall Street crash to more important things on this program - supper time.

Time for a Copernican Revolution in Education A popular children's author has enraged mothers after suggesting that day care constitutes child abuse. But what should we say about some of the K-12 schools out there? Now after 200 years of increasingly cold, institutionalized education, Kevin Swanson suggests a Copernican Revolution in Education. He unveils a new Education Manifesto in which the definition, goals, method, and content of education are reworked from the perspective of a biblical world and life view. The classical Greek form of education separates knowledge from life, the fear of God from knowledge, character from education, and relationships from the paideia. In this segment of the Generations broadcast, Kevin Swanson suggests that Christians should stop borrowing from the humanists to inform their methods of education, which in the end only cripples the faith.

The Contrast: 1929 vs. 2008 Three of the largest five investment banks - gone in one year. Lehman Bros just filed the largest bankruptcy in the history of the nation (by a long shot). We are witnessing the most exceptional economic developments in 150 years, right now. As the smooth-tongued wizards withdraw, Kevin Swanson limps up to explain it once more. All is not gold that glitters, and the debtor is servant to the lender. Contrasting the current economic situation to that which existed in 1929, he suggests a two-pronged economic plan – trust in God and keep your powder dry.

Christians and Government Christians should make the best citizens in any social order, but there is a point at which they must resist tyranny. But what makes Christians resist tyranny is precisely the thing that makes them the best citizens! Kevin Swanson gives a biblical basis for paying taxes, while laying out the conditions under which civil disobedience must occur. With doctors in California being forced to artificially inseminate lesbians, and with German homeschoolers seeking asylum in America, the time couldn't be better for this broadcast.

Killing Spree When man cuts himself off from God, he distances himself from the possibility of any kind of absolute law, like "Thou Shalt Not Kill," for example. Increasingly in modern society, we find children and adults operating within the moral void, and performing the ultimate in daring needs of murder. Kevin Swanson ties the worldview taught in the modern world in with the social conditions we see around us on this segment of Generations. Isn't that something! Men will live out their ideas.
