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

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 don't feel as though I have. You are presenting a red herring here. I choose to believe that you are smart enough to know that it doesn't matter whether you mean some of us or all of us. That clearly wasn't the point. The point is that instead of focusing on how objective some of us are, try looking at yourself. You have shown an amazing ability (case in point: your response to my post) to focus on insignificant minutiae in order to switch the focus off of the real issue being addressed, to belabor points that have already been addressed, and to profess over and over again that if we are unwilling to accept your evidence, that there is nothing wrong with your evidence, it is us that has the problem.
To me, that doesn't sound very objective.

Here again, I feel like it was obvious that some examples are necessary.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
