Would you elaborate please, on the difference between 'reluctant' and 'not inclined'?
Looking up the meanings of the two terms, they seem to be pretty similar.
You accused me of "remaining very reluctant to actually present what it is you find so convincing about it."
Which is false. I have no problem saying or indicating why I find theism so convincing. I've indicated a variety of reason why I find it convincing.
What I said is I was reluctant or not inclined to do, was try and convince strangers on the internet of it, because it's a fools errand.
It's the difference between asking you, why do you believe x, and asking you to convince me to believe in X.
