Recently I had a Jehovah’s Witness come to my door offering the usual. The experience was rewarding, not because I won any arguments but because I was able to put to use many hours of training and study to be the best lay apologist possible.

The news of Robin Williams’ death is heartbreaking, as is any news of the death of one of our heroes. Just as was the news of mega-church pastor Rick Warren’s son’s suicide.
