I condemn no one. If I am to condemn anyone, I must condemn myself. But as I stated, I condemn no one.

I believe desire plays a very big part in whether someone accepts or rejects a truth claim. I do not believe that some here are as objective in their pursuit of knowledge as they claim to be. I believe we all have desires and they do influence our beliefs, myself included.
You don't believe that we are as objective in our pursuit of knowledge? Really? Come on, man. You can't be real. You are too smug for words.
Tell me, is there anything that would cause you to not believe in God?
Do not misquote me. I said that I do not believe that some here are as objective in their pursuit of knowledge as they claim to be.

I can think of many things that would give me reason not to believe in God.
