From Debate to Dialogue

Erik (pictured) when asked "Whaduyathink?" Answered "I'm a man, its a woman's issue." I quickly noted that Roe v. Wade was decided by men in the supreme court. He conceded. We then embarked on a multiple hour debate involving questions such as: Is the unborn alive, is the unborn human, and what is the basis of our rights. Erik, a philosophy major, helped steer the conversation towards God and the idea of free will. We found areas of agreement and helped each other see weaknesses in certain positions the other held. After vigorously tackling tough issues for a couple hours one of his friends came by the exhibit. Their short conversation ended with Erik asking his friend if he had been to lunch. His friend had said yes so he turned to me and said "WannaGotolunch?" I responded in the affirmative and we spent the next couple hours over lunch covering at lenght issues of philosophy, science, religion, politics, and life. At the end of lunch we exhcanged emails and Erik decided he had a productive enough day, thanked me for the conversation and skipped his remaining classes. Pray for Erik that he might come to a knowledge of the truth of God through Jesus Christ.
