It is called the Great Commission. Jesus told His disciples: “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands that I have given you. And be sure of this, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” Pope Francis echoed a version of that when he told young people to “go against the... Read more

Why don’t Christian bashers ever get tired of themselves? I don’t read atheist blogs. But I am aware that at least some of them appear to have no purpose except Christian bashing.
