Help With A Seminary Assignment

[Tree of Life]

Hello All,

I'm preparing to graduate from seminary in April. The final course I'm taking is called "Christian Apologetics". My final paper for this course calls for me to engage in a written exchange with a non-Christian over some apologetic issue. I'm wondering if any non-Christian here would be willing to engage in such an exchange with me. If you're interested, here are some details:

1. The paper is due April 21. We would have roughly a month to complete our conversation.
2. The conversation should focus on one or, at the most, two apologetic issues.
3. The final paper is supposed to be 3500-4500 words. Our conversation does not have to reach this amount. But to suggest a parameter, we should limit each contribution to 750 words in order to allow for multiple exchanges.
4. We can engage in this conversation over PM or email or even publicly on the forum. Whichever you prefer. However, it needs to be a one-on-one conversation.
5. By engaging you would be giving me permission to use your words in my paper, to correct any spelling errors, and also to judiciously edit the paper by removing tangential material or superfluous material (both yours and mine).

Is anyone interested?

Thanks!

Wow. This sounds so interesting. Clearly you want to pick someone with the energy to engage the topic, a penetrating intellect, and a friendly demeanor. Who could that be?

I suppose you atheists don't WANT people to graduate from seminary, do you?!

It's not so much that... I've just found it is very easy to debate, and 'declare victory', an asserted not falsifiable claim. If you want an example, feel free to hit up a recent topic I posted (i.e.) I assert 'Jesus is Lucifer in disguise':

Does Lucifer Have Free Will?

...exchange with a non-Christian over some apologetic issue....

What issue do you have in mind?

What issue do you have in mind?

I would prefer to leave it up to my conversation partner. We might start by asking: "What are your top two reasons that you are not a Christian?"

I'd happy to help with such an assignment (via PM). The only issue is that I can't guarantee my availability over the next few weeks (my work commitments are mostly stable, except when I have to do marking), and given that the assignment is due April 21 this could become a problem.
