Delicate Offers a Truce

[Delicate]

And for clarity, when I say I make no claims any the existence of God, I mean I'm open about what I believe but I don't assert that you ought to believe it. That's not part of my goal.

Although you're welcome to talk to me about my beliefs, if you're rational.

One of my main goals in life, is to have as many true beliefs and as few false beliefs as possible. That is why these existential discussions are so important to me.

I think it is extremely important to have my internal representation of the world, map as closely as possible to reality. I believe there are well established, reliable methods that actually return results, that are able to determine truth from fiction.

If someone has a convincing case for the existence of a god or gods, I want to know about it. If you are not making any claims, or trying to convince anyone, then why else are you here?

I've said this before: I have a lot of respect for this view.

That being said I've also noticed your say things that contravene your stated goals. So that's something to deal with.

Beside that, I think before one makes a positive case for anything, ground must be cleared. We have to be on the same page so far as definitions, logic, arguments, evidence, etc.

Right now, to be perfectly honest we have a ton of atheists who don't even understand critical thinking.

Just a frank, factual observation. And I can prove it.
