Perhaps we can refresh this discussion if you are willing to plainly state your position (belief) regarding the existence of a god.
Do you assert that a god exists, and that said god is in charge of everything including the constructs of morality?
I would sincerely like to know what you believe regarding a god; i.e. the following.
*Do you say a god exists?
*Do you say this god is the creator of everything?
*Do you say that those who disbelieve in said god are doomed?
*Do you know what atheism is?
Attempts to change subjects and shift the burden of proof usually aren't so blatant. Are you unusually honest, or just clumsy?
I realize that it does me no good to defend a position without first knowing what the obverse position actually is, and rather than continuing to make presumptions, I chose to plainly ask you. I'm trying to be fair. Are you willing to answer the questions? If so, then I may gain adequate resources with which to respond. If not then I may just be pulling responses out of thin air. I guess you could say that I am honest. What one person calls *unusually*, may be quite usual for someone else.
Would you prefer I continue this conversation from the ignorance I’ve confessed, or shall we move beyond the uninformed rhetoric and begin a real dialog?
