In this humble compilation, we try to explain things so the average atheist-on-the-street can grasp what it is that Christians essentially believe (notwithstanding, some atheists are more knowledgeable about it than most Christians)... ...or, if you will... ...so the average person-in-the-pew can better explain it to to his atheist and agnostic friends (of which I hope he/she has many)... ...or better yet... ...understand it him/herself. We steer away from .many of the tired cliches, and we take a second look at what the Bible really says about some issues, what this Christian thing is about, and what it’s not about. What we won’t do is dwell on the usual sticking points, such as six-day creation, and how scientific the flood narrative is or isn’t. There’s simply too much else to unwrap and blow our minds to wait for everyone to agree on those issues. What we will do is discuss whether the idea of a God who’s both just and omnipotent is an oxymoron, whether the Bible supports genocide, whether the picture of God as an angry jealous old man, truly discribes God’s nature, and what made Christianity into the “white man’s religion”. We will major on why God set it all in motion, and exactly what is His motivation in interacting with humanity. We’ll imagine a lot of thing’s from God’s point of view.
Hello. That photo you see there is of me and my son. It's actually a few years old. My son was about nine when I took that selfie but now, he's twenty, and is in Uni in Scotland, becoming smarter than me. I still like that photo, and I'll keep it until he tells me to take it down. And I probably look a bit older than that as well. Anyway, my wife and I live in N. Ireland. I write stories, draw pictures, design books, and work at a day job. In some of my books, there's a character named Boz, probably with the surname of O'Brian. If you happen to come across him, that's me making a cameo appearance. From Boz, you'll know that my roots are in Thailand, where I was born of an Irish dad and American mum. Though American, my mum was also born in Thailand. We're all missionaries. You'll read about that bit of history in The Eurasian. In Pepe, you'll find that I worked for a year in a homeless children's shelter similar to the one you'll read about there. I still think fondly of that place. The Zondon will tell you about the school I attended for two years that I think define my childhood in Bangkok, with other missionary kids. If you like how my covers look, and the interior design of my books, I can do yours as well - if you're a self published author. To find me, just Google "Robby Charters", or go to my website: www.RobbyCharters.co.uk.
