Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

The diversion from the question of whether there is a god is yours as is the introduction of any idea of selfishness.

The question of whether there is a god, is a question about reality, which is to say a question of fact.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
