Debate with a Christian

[discipulus]

Deidre, when I posted what I did, I was posting in response to what Whateverist had written.

Secondly, I do not dispute that the Koran is an account of Allah's interactions with humanity. There are several texts that qualify as religious texts in the sense that they endeavor to provide an explanation for certain fundamental questions of our existence.

Thirdly, I have never argued that there is only one account that claims to be religious truth.

Fourthly you state that Christianity does not stem from reality. I adamantly disagree and am willing to defend my position in a structured debate.

Lastly, I adamantly agree with you regarding the nature of truth. Just because a person pretends something is true, does not mean it is.

You then say I am acting naive. But surely this remark is unwarranted, for I was not even talking to you when I posted what I did. Not only that but I have already stated several times why bringing up another religion is simply unjustifiable and impertinent to our discussion.

If you do not want to debate me then say so plainly for there are others that do.

Thank you.

For me to accept the central truth claims of Christianity, I require evidence that support said claims.

I marvel at the fact that you can tell me what I require and do not require based off of how you once approached the issues in question.

I am not you Deidre. Nor can you speak on my behalf.

Your definition of proof is the problem. But, before I agree to debate you, please answer the following question. Do you believe that 2+2=4?

If so, why? If not, why?

How you answer this will determine if I'm willing to engage in a further debate with you in the other section.

2+2 is four because when I hold up two fingers on my left hand and then two on my right hand and bring them together, I have four fingers up.
