Has anyone else noticed that rather than explanations, the level 1 theists are offering only poetry & rhetoric?
When I've needed to explain why I don't believe, I've been able to state the specific items which lead me to my conclusions (e.g. lack of physical evidence, logical fallacies, historic inconsistencies). Further, when challenged to describe situations where I'm anti-theistic (make the positive claim of non-existence, i.e. level 7), I'm able to provide similar specifics which allow me to describe my positions and compare/contrast with the evidence which only leads me to disbelief.
What I'm hoping to see from the theists are similarly specific lists so that we can have some meaningful discussions. Any of you up to that challenge?
