The Case for Theism

[Drew_2013]

If you don't care what we think, then that raises two very important questions: One, why are any of us bothering to argue with you, an individual who is, by his own admission, closing his mind to any contrary evidence or argumentation his opponents might produce?

I'm not closing my mind to your counter arguments and have responded to many of them. But when you or others say my arguments have failed or have no merit...well of course your going to say that unless you change your mind and decide to become a theist.

And two, just where the fuck do you get off proceeding to then smugly declare that some of us have conceded defeat and bailed, when we all know that you're barely even reading what we write? You're declaring victory in a contest you've effectively said isn't happening.

I never said anyone conceded, I just noted some stopped responding.

you'll find next to nobody agreeing with you on any point. Rather, this thread is filled with people attempting to debate you. The jury has spoken, numbnuts.

Of course this is predominantly an atheist board.

Mystic,

Drew, people believe first, justify later.

True in many cases...sometimes they also doubt.

Before you reasoned in the way you reasoned, do you believe you were justified in faith in God if you had faith in God?

At one time I went along with the program even though I loathed going to church. Then at one point I doubted and rejected belief in God. Then I reasoned as I did but I still don't have any stomach for organized religion.
