In my teenage years I invested a lot of time following Dr. Carl McIntire who considered himself the leader of a "20th Century Reformation" opposing liberal theology but also trashing folks like Dr. Billy Graham for being 'compromisers'.
In retrospect I see Dr. McIntire as a man with a big ego just like myself.
But in this example from 1970 McIntire acquits himself well as a "defender of the faith" as he faced atheist stalwart Madalyn Murray O'Hair...
"Now when you talk about the future, there has to be a future and there is a future.
And I'm here to say that the Christian faith is the only religion that does have a future...
The Christian religion is not built upon man but built upon a divine supernatural revelation from God.
And that this is entered into history in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
We're dealing with God coming down to deliver man from his darkness, from his sin and from death..."
