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

I am in a forum where multiple people can chime in, which is exactly why I refrain from discussing the issue at length unless it is in a dedicated thread.

The "chiming" in often times hinders people from following the OP and usually ends in the thread getting derailed and sometimes it even devolves into nothing more than people posting expletive riddled quips.

Substantive, irenic discussion is facilitated when it takes place in a thread where you have two people defending their views without a bunch of people chiming in and causing distractions.

When two adults want to have a serious discussion on a matter they both feel is important, they usually do not choose to have the discussion on a playground in the midst of raucous children.

And as far as me finding my way to the door, that will not be happening anytime soon. I am sorry if this disappoints you. But I love to have my views challenged in stimulating, cordial discourse, even though it may be that this happens infrequently here. The chances for this occuring here are few and far between so I cherish them.

discipulus are u really william lane craig???... I sense the nonsense.....

Oh no .... lol..

But I have read much of his work. I see you are familiar with him?
