What was your opinion of the debate?
My favorite part of the "Is Satan Real" debate on ABC's Nightline last week was Mark Driscoll saying that if people would have made up a religion and voted on it, they would have come up with something like a "Salvation by eating chicken wings and napping". At least he said that is what he would have voted for. (That's classic Driscoll). I thought Mark and Annie did a great job. If you missed any of the debate, you can see it all here...Here's a shorter YouTube clip:

Derek,
I won’t go into all the reasons I’m not a fan of Driscoll’s , but I will say this…it is probably a good thing that the debate didn’t explore further Chopra’s claim, “My god isn’t sexist.”
I think your “man-crush” (and there’s nothing wrong with that) explains why you more easily over look some of his stuff and thus not get how others are seeing “another side” of him.
But really, that’s neither here nor there. I think it’s best to focus on the debate as presented, not on what he’s done or said in the past. I went into the viewing of the debate thinking about my past experience with Driscoll and thus expected him to say some really insightful and helpful things, as well make me cringe and shake my head in disbelief at least once. Not this time however. After watching the whole exchange, I was pleasantly surprised at how well Driscoll came off. So, kudos to him.

Derek,
I agree… but still not a fan. His gender thing is, imho, not true to all of scripture, he needlessly offends too often, stuff like that.
Can I think he did a great job and that I’m glad it was him in that debate and celebrate his efforts for the Kingdom anyway? I think I can.

Nice job Mark! God really helped him articulate the truth in a clear way.

Brian,
“...as well make me cringe and shake my head in disbelief at least once.”
How about when he referred to Jesus as being a “dude”?

Sounds like a lot of agreeance here actually.
I agree that I disagreed with Pearson, but I thought he was the most intriguing guy up there. While I don’t agree with his outcomes, he actually had some interesting arguments for them and I also appreciatied his openness, honesty, and authenticity.
My biggest complaint was that they couldn’t apparently find a better partner for Driscoll. Lobert has a great testimony and all, and a great heart, but not much knowledge. All experience as mentioned earlier. That definitely has a place, but I don’t know that something set up like an academic debate is that place. She didn’t really add a whole lot to the setting in my opinion.
