Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?

No. That is a non-sequitur.

It could be that the person is willing but that they have judged the evidence to be weak.

In other words, the evidence I have is of the sort that it can be explained away if it is presented to a person who does not want to accept it.

I hope you can see how this differs from what you have suggested I have said. I have mentioned nothing about "prior belief" at all.

Look up the word "belief."


Why?
