Why is god hiding?

[Esquilax]

People use words that are really descriptions of their own persona.

People also sometimes use words to communicate ideas to others based upon observations they make, without every last little thing being some Freudian insight into themselves. It's called "communication."

I also use the word "fuck" a lot, it doesn't mean I'm constantly having sex.

It's interesting that 'dishonesty' is a word that you always use esq.

I can't help it. Being around theists and having to use the word "dishonest" is akin to being a firefighter and constantly having to use the word "fire."

I'm not saying that you have to agree with me. I'm saying that if you don't want to see my point of view, then you never will.

And there's the dishonesty: you're just assuming that I don't wish to see your point of view, based upon... what? Other than the fact that I disagree with your assessment of the god claim, what else do you even have to base that assertion on?

Frankly, every time I've ever tried to press you on what you believe so I could find out, you've done nothing but be evasive and vague.

I see your point of view entirely, and I don't have to call you dishonest in holding it.

... You can see my point of view? Is that why you just claimed that I didn't want to see yours, despite the fact that that isn't remotely true?

Projecting disinterest in understanding or honestly assessing opposing views onto me is a strawman, Frodo. That's what got me riled up and that is why I used the word "dishonest." You hear it all the time, whenever someone's incapable of adequately defending their ideas: "Yeah? Well you're just close-minded!"
