Yeah, it's mostly by regurgitating WLC, but that's still an improvement from where he was last year. The progress he's made in his presentation puts him above some of the other theists on here who are either completely reprehensible or interested more in petty one-upmanship than anything else.
I mean, I don't find anything he's written to be convincing, but at least he seems to be trying to put some real thought into it. I consider that refreshing compared to what we usually get.
Thanks Kevin.
I have never hid my motives to being here and have even discussed them several times. My wife thinks I'm crazy for posting here--especially when she looks over my shoulder and sees a post that was intentionally disgusting or over the top irreverent. I do it because philosophy and debate are interesting to me and rather just read books, I engage in a live discussion where I get to write out things and watch a debate develop and go research and come back to articulate another point and so on...
Yes, I get a lot of my material from WLC. Why not? By any standard he is a great debater. Because of his training and experience, he is very careful in his writings and responses to questions--often explaining a nuance in an argument that will avoid an objection 3 steps away.
