And So I Cry Halt!

I recently read a book which I bought not too long ago called "The End Of Reason" by Dr. Ravi Zacharias. If I had to choose one word to describe what I found in this book I would state the common, Amazing! The book is a rebuttal on "Letter To A Christian Nation" by acclaimed atheist, Sam Harris. Harris' attack on world religion but more overly on the Christian Faith, which I might add, was an attack on the very depth of my core. So I invested into finding out "Why?"- In this, I believe I made an absolutely wonderful choice.

If you've ever found yourself question your being, reason, or common feelings than I assure you that we all have at once. Dr. Zacharias covers four specific topics: Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny. Mainly becaus
e they have no foundation within their Reason. Philosophers believe that reason always leads to reason, which I might say is in fact true. The late writer C.S. Lewis takes this kind of thinking to task when he stated: "Reason might conceivably be found to depend on [another reason] and so on; it would not matter how far this process was carried provided you found Reason coming from Reason at each stage. It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason that you must cry Halt!"

With this said, invest a little. I choose not to be a brainwashed Christian, but rather an educated one who contends on the grounds of truth. So I'm truly a nerd, big deal, right?
