A Christian and an Atheist http://www.achristianandanatheist.com en-us A Christian and an Atheist A friendly discussion of the issues between a Christian and an atheist. Norton and Emery Tired of one-sided rants from either side? Wish Christians and atheists would actually talk to each other, rather than over each other? So do we! Fundamental disagreements about God, faith and morality are too important to reduce to mere sniping from afar. Respectful, friendly discourse is what's needed, if there is to be any hope of mutual understanding. That is what our show is about. Christians and atheists discussing, rather than throwing things at each other.
