The Pillars of Unbelief — Sartre Reply
Sartre allegedly recanted his teaching upon his death. At any rate… damage done.
Sartre — apostle of absurdity
Jean-Paul Sartre may be the most famous atheist of the 20th century. As such, he qualifies for anyone’s short list of “pillars of unbelief.”
Yet he may have done more to drive fence-sitters toward the faith than most Christian apologists. For Sartre has made atheism such a demanding, almost unendurable, experience that few can bear it.
