The God Who Wasn't There

I watched this 1 hour documentary today that I ordered and loved it. It was by Brian Flemming and attacked Christian fundamentalism really harshly - largely through attacking the early church and who Jesus was. It's not a movie every Christian could stand watching and I was thinking throughout the movie that perhaps part of my "calling" is to non-Christian intellectuals. Right now I'm very interested in how atheists think and their reasons for rejecting Christianity. I don't get mad at such movies (except from the occasional really stupid idea) but am purely interested - perhaps that's how one determines where God can best use you.

Maybe I could be useful here because I actively seek truth no matter where it is found - whether atheism or Christianity. I am genuinely curious of their arguments because they could be valid. I try to never hold on to a belief so tightly that no evidence or argument could cause me to give it up. I often wonder what the world would be like if everyone had this philosophy. Mormonism would die out fast.

I'll post thoughts on the main ideas of the movie when I think about it more and can watch it again.
