[edit] Notability

I'm removing Template:notability (from Oct. 26), as J. P. Moreland is one the the foremost Christian apologists. Furthermore, there was no explanation for its addition on this talk page. --Ktdreyer 04:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

This guy is also notable as a bit of a racist, but I only know this from my personal dealings with him. Does anybody have any sources backing that up?AliceTaniyama 17:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard this about him. About which race has he shown racism?? --gglaus 12:51, 19 December 2007

This seems to be a frequent attack against Christian apologists and evangelists. I just recently read Christopher Hitchens claiming that Billy Gramn was anti-semitic, but he never really backed it up. He just threw it out there. Why do you think he's a racist Alice? It's kind of unreasonable to make that sort of statement then ask other people to back up your idea. --Kraftlos (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I went to Biola and also heard lectures by him and never once did he seem racist, nor did anyone I know express that he was racist. This seems ridiculous. Squeemu (talk) 07:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
