Dr. Craig is a liar.

The following are general observations and not specifically aimed at one person.

I realize I am not going to convince any of you that God exists. What I am doing is pointing out that the typical objections for God existing are not very good ones and certainly don't rise to the point of "God is a ridiculous notion".

Just as some have pointed out, I don't believe in God because of the KCA or some other bit of natural theology. This is support for the direct revelation and personal revelation from God (the Bible and personal relationship respectively).

I think in a similar way, many (not all) atheist don't believe in God because of an argument or premise in some syllogism. They just reject the whole ball of wax, often based on feelings, influence, or personal experiences, and they have been assured by others this is the intelligent thing to do. They have been told that Christians don't have answers to x y and z, and therefore their belief is unfounded and ignorant. You can see from dozens and dozens of posts in this very thread that that seems to be the case.

What some are not getting is that these questions are not new. They have been answered extensively. There is no coherent argument you can raise that has not been addressed. In some cases, the answer to a particular question is not certain (ranging from possible to probable). That is to be expected. Christianity does not hang on a single data point. It is a very complex system blending revealed, natural, and systematic theology. It is a cumulative case with thousands of data points. You should not think that because you can trip up a Christian who is not prepared to defend all of the facets of that system, that that means anything other than that person is unprepared.

While, it is fun to discuss these questions and probe each other's abilities to articulate a point, the result will never be cut and dried--case closed. Belief in God is not irrational and the concept of God is not ridiculous no matter how many times (or ways) you are willing to type it.

What a crock. The old, there are arguments, I just don't have them with me dodge. This is nothing more than a strategic retreat, followed by hollow assertions.
