Facebook Petition: The William Lane Craig/ John Loftus Debate Wish Group
Yep, I just got notice today that there is a petition on Facebook for both Christians and nonbelievers to sign who want to see me debate my former professor. Click here to join.

A few hours later and there are 71 signed in so far.
After the first day it's got 114 people signed up so far.
John,
You like your own press...I've been reading your book and MAN, one thing I can say, you'll know every argument of Craig for sure as you've studied his work BUT you have no retort...I can read what you'd say for myself and you can't tell me that Craig wouldn't absolutely HANDLE you as he handles many of these other guys...
I guess you seem to think that in order to win a debate with you your opoonent has to "chase the white rabbit" ie: answer every point you make...Well from reading your book, your points are soft, nothing new and only follow the paths of others who've offered the same or a slightly different variation of the argument you offer...I guess what you don't see is that repetition of the argument DOESN'T make it better and you saying it doesn't give it anymore creedence that it had when it was first overturned...
Granted John, unlike JP's opinion of you, I think you're a researched fellow and you've caused me to study many aspects of Christianity and atheism, BUT Craig is a professor, has been doing this in debates with the BEST of the BEST without threat...
CALL THE MAN and ask him to debate you and set it up...HECK I'll provide the church for FREE...I'll even try to help with the expenses...just do it...Do you need me to call...I will...give me his number...'cause I'm really sick of every other post..."I wanna debate Craig" Get over it and go on your merry way to being the God rejecter that you are...SHEEEESH!
Whether Craig "handles" me is to be seen, Harvey. Harvey, he lives in Atlanta, GA. I think he's home now after a tour. Look him up. His wife's name is Jan if that helps. There are others who might have his phone number. Call him for me. Ask him about debating me. Then let me know what he says, okay?
Thanks for the invite of debating at your church. Tell him that. See what he says.
I'll make it a point to do that this weekend. Happy memorial day!
What's up with the SHOUTING in HARVEY's post? Anyone else feel like OVEREMPHASIS with CAPS makes the author sound like a LEET TWEEN? No offense, HARVEY, but if repetition of arguments doesn't make them better, neither does CAPITALIZING EMPHASIS WORDS.
John, I joined the group. But I decided that I will only support it as long as you make sure to have the debate recorded (and available for free!), either by video or just audio. Because while I would certainly like to hear/see the debate, I highly doubt it's going to be in my price range to make the trip if/when it happens. Are these reasonable demands? If not...too bad, they're still my demands! So there! :)
And we are at 168 members!
Jeff, I don't know what kind of agreement must be reached with Craig if we debate so I cannot say how the record of our debate will be distributed in advance.
