As these tend to go, I had a response post by Randal regarding my critique of his sermon on faith and evidence.
Randal believes I've missed his points and was vitriolic.
Let me begin the reply by going through his three major points, and we'll touch on the last part at the end.

Faith is Belief without Good Evidence
It's been too long since I've engaged in
some hardcore Counter Apologetics, but I'm on vacation and I've had the time to do a
lot of reading lately. This article is
meant to be an in depth, but hopefully respectful critique of the Christian
definition of faith by Tom Gilson.
There's been some back and forth on how the
word faith is to be defined in light
of Peter Boghossian's
new book A Manual for Creating Atheists.
The primary antagonist I've read defending
faith is Christian Apologist Tom Gilson who writes at
thinkingchristian.net. To say the least,
Tom has written rather extensively against the definitions of faith espoused by
Boghossian, Loftus, Lindsay, and Coyne.
What's more is that I think he actually makes a few good points,
including a few where I think I may agree with him over those four atheists
whose work I admire greatly.
Now I still think Tom is
wrong on the whole of it, and that's the focus of this post, but the devil is
in the details.
