Dismisses itself? It grants that it may in fact be wrong, and is always willing to entertain an idea.
That, to me at least, is humble and logical. I actually think I am always explaining my position. ![Smile Smile](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I don't see where I've 'dodged' without a damned good explanation (so far as I see anyway)... and I don't remember ever failing to show up at the bat (once again, without cited good reason). Of course I constantly slate theism... and I am constantly defending my criticisms of theism of all sorts (wether they are accepted or not). Unless I have been commonly possessed by a mad scientist from his secret laboratory 5000 kilo's away: I think my criticisms are usually quite fair.

Quote:You seem to refuse to do so, and dodge any attempt that anyone makes to understand.Actually, I understand people quite often. I tend to second them in such cases (usually adding something, however minor), or otherwise give them a thumbs up... or usually in some way show my understanding. If something is so 'obvious'... then why don't I 'get' it? Carl Sagan got it right on the button when he said that 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'... but it must be understood that everyone's view of 'extraordinary' is subjective. Hence why you can believe Christianity, and why I can be skeptical of 'obvious things' like .9^ = 1. If the reason was good enough for you, and you are now telling it to me... one needs to realize that the reason may be more than enough for me... or far from enough for me.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
