		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If Hell doesn&#8217;t exist in the Old Testament, how could Jesus and his disciples teach that salvation was deliverance from a place that is not even found in their Scriptures? (There was only the Old Testament at that time.) Would that not make Him appear like a false teacher? Or could it be that Jesus [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=faithandselfdefense.com&#038;blog=20383242&#038;post=3000&#038;subd=faithandselfdefense&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I especially liked Gary Owens since we both had radio shows at the time. Laugh-In was well known for its short and funny skits. One of them starred entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. where he played the part [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=faithandselfdefense.com&#038;blog=20383242&#038;post=2957&#038;subd=faithandselfdefense&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Atheists cannot believe one of their own would change his or her mind and Christians have a hard time believing an atheist could change.
