I just listened to a debate between Karl Keating and Dave Hunt. They were discussing Early Christianity. Mr. Hunt's position was that Catholicism is NOT the early church, and Mr. Keating argued the opposite.
I found Mr. Hunt completely obnoxious. His arguments were weak at best and he spent more time bashing Catholicism then he did supporting his own position. Mr. Keating seemed slightly worked up (and who can blame him!) and I think it was hard for him to figure out which accusations and lies to respond to.
I think what angered me the most was that Mr. Hunt was spouting tons of misinformation and outright lies and it was frustrating to listen to. Not only that but he was twisting history and doing the typical Protestant 'prooftexting' move that I find particularly vile.
Mr. Hunt approached everything like the usual Protestant, appealing to emotion and little else.
Anyway, listening to this one debate has made me quite convinced that I do not like Mr. Hunt. What an arrogant, angry man.
Mr. Keating threw in a few pot shots of his own, and honestly I can't blame him. The gauntlet was thrown down and he picked it up but with as much grace as he could.
Ugh. Protestants. When do they stop 'feeling' religion and start 'thinking'?
