Campus Crusade Hosts MRFF’s Atheist Paul Loebe (Video)
Paul Loebe, the former active duty Marine who is now Michael “Mikey” Weinstein’s newest “special assistant,” was recently one of two atheists invited to The Epicenter Experience, a college ministry event put on by Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, a frequent MRFF target). The “conversation” was led by Doug Pollock, and Loebe was (invited and) accompanied by fellow atheist Adam Hann (also a military veteran).
Doug Pollock’s “specialty” is helping Christians “increase the quality and the quantity of their spiritual conversations.” In other words, how to talk to non-Christians well, which is a natural first step toward evangelism. Pollock’s conversation with Loebe and Hann was, in essence, a demonstration.
The video of the “conversation” (below), provided by Cru, is actually fairly interesting (and its a fair bit better quality than the ‘pirated audio‘ the MRFF published). Much of the discussion was how Christians had caused the two atheists to feel, from experiences with a patronizing faith to those who don’t know their own Bible — which, coming from atheists, naturally served as a direct object lesson for the Christians in the room.
At one point, Doug Pollock even said
“This may rock your world…but you may be being used by God right now…”
Kudos to atheists who can challenge you to be a better Christian (Pollock takes the stage approximately 8 minutes into the video):

This may rock your world but…you may be being used by Zeus, the Invisible Pink Unicorn, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster right now.
Thanks for the free advertising!
May the Force be with you
See, the reason I refuse to talk to you people is stupid sentences like this one. “This may rock your world…but you may be being used by God right now…”
It is such an annoyingly fantabulous throw out, and interjecting your superstitious beliefs into a rational conversation is offensive and intellectually insulting.
There might be a boogey man under your bed RIGHT NOW.
L. Ron Hubbard might be watching you from the Van Allen Belt Right Now!
And these silly throw-outs are sometimes followed by some “what iffery” that has no basis in fact or reality. This is why I just walk away when you people start bawwing your nonsense. I don’t want to hear it, let alone engage you over it.
I expect the same courtesy.
‘See, the reason I refuse to talk to you people…This is why I just walk away when you people start bawwing your nonsense. I don’t want to hear it, let alone engage you over it.’
And yet you felt moved to not only read this post but leave a 4 paragraph reply!
‘I expect the same courtesy.’
Ok, injecting your emotionally constipated opinion into a conversation is an annoyingly fantabulous projection of your insecurities and is incursive and intellectually lazy.
xenubarb, all hyperbole aside, your characterization of others’ beliefs as “superstitious” can itself be characterized as a superstitious belief, no?
And because you don’t want to hear it, they must comply? Why? How does your “right” not to hear something trump their right to say that something?
