Someone should ask him, how come "Christians" like him always find Jesus and religion when they're painted into a moral corner. No one finds Jesus after winning the Super Bowl or the Academy Award. For 26 years (I became when at 14), I've never prayed or had religious thoughts when panicked. Believe me, my wife and friends who have been on a plane with me can attest to this. Oh I'm scared and not keen on flying unless necessary but hoping a divine being is going to save my butt is the last thing on my mind. Colson's spurious logic on disproving the disproving of "God's" existence could be applied to the existence of genies (Islamic belief), oni or hostile spirits (Japanese) and Baron Samedi (voodoo) which his brand of Christianity dismisses.
