How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
RE: How to debunk the first cause argument without trying too hard
(September 19, 2015 at 4:43 pm)Rational AKD Wrote: the wording of the premises are inconsistent... which can only lead me to believe you edited the first premise to make it more objectionable. i'm sure you won't admit to doing that since that would indeed be very dishonest of you... but i'll leave it for everyone else to decide why your premise wordings are inconsistent.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be easily attributed to stupidity."

The "What caused God" objection is indeed inane. Any atheist who raises it demonstrates their own ignorance. The problem with it; however, is that the objection presupposes so many other things. A recalcitrant skeptic can just keep retreating into a brier patch of modern analytic dilemmas. The skeptic has no interest in developing their own consistent philosophy. They just want to tear down your ideas and walk away smirking.
