You say the same elsewhere.

I disbelieve that you've substantiated your claim yet. As far as I can tell, I haven't seen you do so yet.
"Atheist argument relies on screwey logic.. cherry picking as with denying philosophy with science."

From your point of view, I haven't understood. From my point of view, there has been no content there supporting your claims to understand.

Or if there were, hypothetically speaking, millions of different books for millions of different hypothetical deities - it's no more probable that the Bible is evidence for the Christian God, than it would be that any one of those books would be for any one of their respective deities.So you mean no one has inspired you enough to look into it seriously. That's a bit different from saying there is no evidence. You are simply taking other people's word for that, having never looked into it yourself to make up your own mind.

Sure, I could be wrong, but I thought my post is the last post there.

I'm more interested in why you believe, and how you justify it (along with other theists of course (and not to leave out the deists, them too)), and then questioning whether your reasons are really reasonable and whether your justifications are really justified.So it's not that you don't want to understand it it's that you don't want to look into it
From your point of view, you may think it's a case of 'not wanting to understand it', but that's your opinion, I myself do not agree - that's not my position. From my point of view, my position is, as you said - entirely rational.

I've detailed my case up to that point in support of my logic. I've taken you to the book shop and placed TGD in your hands. Now all you have to do is read it. Why did you read TGD if looking into this subject was futile as you say? You take great interest and research around anti God because somehow this interests you, yet you refuse to give the same importance to the very subject you're dismissing... without ever wanting to look into it.
