Top Recommendations.

These are the websites we feel will be the most useful to you.

Debates

These are links to websites with debates about religion between famous academics. It propably isn't a good idea to use these to aggressively attack your friends' beliefs, or prove how superior you are by showing your friend how badly the atheist loses the debate! Remember that you are trying to win hearts not minds, so act with good grace and listen to these debates to understand the issues, not to beat down your friends.

Try this section if you're looking for some academic philosophy on Christianity for your course or something like that. Or if you're trying to impress your mates by showing how clever you are, but we know you wouldn't do that...
