"ON PALM SUNDAY, Dr John Perkins drove out to the Careforce Church in
Mount Evelyn to tell its congregation that everything it believed and
held dear about God was, sad to say, mistaken and even dangerous.

It wouldn't be everyone's idea of a fun night out. Finding himself in
similar circumstances, Australian arch-atheist Philip Adams once
described himself as "a lion thrown into a den of Daniels".

And the scene did appear set for a mauling: the modern community hall-
style building can hold 1000 and the debate had sold out within 20
minutes of tickets going on sale.

But there was no blood spilt. The Careforce house band belted out a
few numbers, including John Lennon's Imagine ("Imagine there's no
heaven, and no religion too ..."), and then for nearly 90 minutes a
mostly Christian audience listened intently while Christianity and
atheism went 10 heartfelt rounds on stage. There was gracious applause
at the end."
