» Seattle Times: "Nightline" debate to take on Satan in Ballard church

This oughtta be fun ...

The debate over whether Satan exists is hardly going to be settled in a 30-minute television show.

But that's not stopping a rather curious lineup from debating that question for ABC's "Nightline."

The debaters: megachurch Pastor Mark Driscoll of Seattle; alternative-medicine author Deepak Chopra; a former Las Vegas escort who founded Hookers for Jesus; and a former Pentecostal preacher who was branded a heretic for saying everyone -- not just Christians -- could go to heaven.

The four are gathering Friday at Mars Hill Church in Ballard, where Driscoll is preaching pastor, to tape the segment, which will air March 26.

I can't claim to be a fan of what Nightline has done for interfaith discussions in the past, so my expectations start off on the low side for this one.
