| | Theism, Atheism, and Rationality |
| | He was president of the Western Division of the American Philosophical Association during 1981-82 and president of the Society of Christian Philosophers, which he helped to found, from 1983 to 1986. | | | Another sort of objector claims, not that theism is incoherent or false or probably false (after all, there is precious little by way of cogent argument for that conclusion) but that it is in some way unreasonable or irrational to believe in God, even if that belief should happen to be true. | | | Widely acclaimed for his work on the metaphysics of modality, the ontological argument, the problem of evil, and the epistemology of religious belief, he is the author or editor of seven books, including God and Other Minds, The Nature of Necessity, and Faith and Rationality. |

| | National Association of Evangelicals Now Corrupt... |
| | Well the National Association of Evangelicals finally proved itself to be what astute people knew it always was: a hodgepodge of theological lightweights (with a few heavyweights), philosophical cripples, and devotees of political correctness. | | | In 1941, Evangelical leaders refused to associate with the conservative American Council of Christian Churches but formed the NAE in 1942. | | | Maybe it is time for all church leaders who profess to believe the Bible to "come out from among them" and become unaffiliated as were the New Testament churches. |
