John McKenzie was born in Jacksonville, Oregon, in 1962. People who remember him say that he was a quiet youngster but very studious. He studied Humanities, Journalism and Mathematics and earned three degrees, including a Ph.D. He worked as a journalist for a couple of reputable Oregon newspapers before becoming a freelance journalist. In 1986 he wrote a book called 'Shut Up and Listen Carefully', which was quite popular in the Oregon area. The book was about how people behave in situations where there are discussions and arguments. Later McKenzie became interested in how people gathered conclusions and defined their thoughts. This led him to study religion and morals. In 2005 he wrote his quite well known book 'The Moral Of It All'. The book was nominated for several awards.

He has appeared on quite a few talk shows, particularly in the Oregon area and has even debated Catholicism with Tent Horn. In that debate he evidently quoted the title of his first book.
These days a lot of people are not keen to debate with him because of his particular set of skills.
I can't find much on line about him but it would be worthwhile ordering his book on morality if you are really keen on clearing your mind of all the rubbish that is out there.
Ciao tutti.

Now I know you made it up. If you’re not careful Robert will accuse you of being of unsound mind and using atheism to obfuscate the truth of the teachings of the one, true, Roman Catholic Church.
You should find and read his book before you get judgemental.

Transubstantiation, for example.
