Wretched: The Atheist Double Standard

The atheist, Mr. Evolution from goo through the zoo
to you,

tries to impose his values on you. We
gotta start tagging him. Hey, where do you get off?

You can just assume what you have to prove.
It is very handy.

Assuming what you need to
prove on ultimate questions is inescapable.

So if you say you depend on reason, as your
ultimate Court of Appeal, and I can say:

Oh, give me a reason for that.
Where you're assuming you give me a

reason for that, you're assuming what you
need to prove. If I asked for a reason

for your trust in reason you wouldn't
say: Oh, I thank you, I will have a jelly

doughnut. You're going to
appeal to reason and that's just like me

opening my Bible and pointing to a
scriptural text. (...)

So every finite being has to have an
axiomatic starting point. You have one, I

have one. As an unbeliever, your
axiomatic starting point is one of

unbelief; mine is one of faith.
Christopher Hitchens uses reason and

logic as his starting place. To do what?
To approve reason and logic. So he's

doing the very thing he accuses us of
doing. We have to. You got to start

some place...
