putting the brakes on faith

[robvalue]

It is sad that theists have had to resort to cheap tactics such as using one word to mean two different things and hoping you don't notice. Something that is true does not need mental gymnastics and sleight of hand to demonstrate.

Every apologist tactic is inherently dishonest. The only question is whether they realize they are doing it. If you have already drawn your conclusions based on emotions or conditioning, then you also assume your arguments make sense I suppose. You can't or won't think about the consequence of them being faulty.
