Perspectives |
|||
Critics of CARM and Slick are commonly those with worldviews other than conservative Protestant Christianity. Their most common complaints center around Slick's treatment of those who do not share his beliefs, his use of moderation and questionable tactics in debates, and the effectiveness of his methods in spreading the Gospel. Slick has had several long-standing disputes with these critics that have spilled off CARM's forums (http://new.carmforums.org/dc/dcboard.php), spawning several related websites; the two most significant have been created by Universalist Christians and atheists. His critics are by no means limited to fringe groups but rather any group that isn't deemed conservative Protestant in thier faith. |
|||
Supporters of Slick find CARM a viable and comfortable environment for discussing a wide variety of both Christian and secular topics, and praise Slick's willingness to discuss a wide assortment of issues with both Christians and secularists. Supporters also assert that CARM's track record speaks for itself, citing the fact that CARM is one of the more active Christian discussion communities on the Internet. |

Matt Slick, whose full name is Matthew J. Slick, is the creator and webmaster of the popular Christian website CARM (http://www.carm.org), or "Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry."

Slick is married with children, and resides in Idaho. He has been studying cults for more than 24 years.
Slick has written a book entitled "Right Answers for Wrong Beliefs," (excerpt) (http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/cms_content/178813632?page=472703&event=ESRCN) as well as created a 1,125 page notebook which contains much of the information from his website.
