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

[discipulus]

The issue of evil and suffering must be dealt with head on with sincerity, honesty, and sound reasoning. If Christians believe the God of the Bible exists then the issue of the existence of evil and suffering must be dealt with.

I agree, so why do you keep avoiding it?

I am not. On the contrary, I already gave the invitation to discuss it. It is in a previous post of mine. Did you see it?

Because he is not done posturing, ruffling up his feathers, and doing nothing more than acting smug. His thing with D_P on the other thread where he is constantly trying to "clear things up" and "come to a consensus" is actually pretty funny. "Let's debate, I like how concise and terse your arguments are. But first, let's clear some things up. But the things we're clearing up are going to change six to eight times before they change again."

Before I debate with someone I like to establish a common ground with them from which we can work. I find this always to be beneficial to both myself and my debate partner.
