Dan Barker does not exist

Dan Barker once preached Jesus.
Now Dan Barker does not preach Jesus.
Therefore, Dan Barker does not exist.
-James White

I wonder what it must be like to dedicate your life against something: against God and Christianity. Maybe dedicating your life against something is similar to the "Christians" who are known only for being anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion, and anti-Harry Potter. 

Dan Barker is currently a co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. He's written a couple books on his transformation from being "an evangelical preacher" (for 19 years) to "one of America's leading Atheists" (that's Atheist with a capital A).

My heart rends for Christ's influence in America. What has living and praying "in Jesus' name" become? It's possible to live "for Jesus" for nineteen years and magically turn away because you read some books? Where was your faith rooted?

Dan Barker, I will pray for you and your anti-ministry.

(and, apologies to the reader; I made a couple references that you may not understand unless you went to the debate last Thursday. you can ask me about them though. I'd be happy to explain)
