How can you say that Deism was "off limits" ?? I talked to you about it in depth. I answered your questions several times over. There simply was nothing more to tell you and you refused to accept my answers.
You just said you're not prepared to defend Deism, didn't you? I haven't even gotten to my real argument, I have just been trying to figure out what you actually believe, because different Deists believe different things.
And the answers you gave me have all been fairly evasive..from what I have gleaned..Deism is an illogical belief that you embrace because you like having a tiny bit of faith and you really don't care about God and he doesnt care about you, and none of it really matters anyway. Did I miss anything?
Nope not a damn thing ... So why do you keep ASKING?!?!
Once again for the 4th or 5th time (give or take), I don't defend Deism because I just don't care and there is NO evidence ... just like there is none for Christianity.
hmmm.... maybe you can never understand me.Your religion is a huge part of your life. My belief in God is an afterthought. You love god because you think he loves you. You've gotta stop projecting your reasoning for your god onto me. I worship no one. I pray to no one. And unlike you ... I NEED NO EVIDENCE!
(by the way, telling me that I'm evasive is just so untrue. I could not BE more forthcoming about my views on God)
Well, if that's all there is to your belief, then you have no right to critisize anyone else. You have actually admitted there is absolutely no reason to believe what you do, and it is actually contrary to logic. Even if Christianity wasn't true, it would still be superior to your blind faith.
I don't *need* evidence, I *have* evidence. I am not clinging to a belief in hopes that it is true, I came to a belief because I was convinced it was true. Little bit of a difference.
