But as a debating opponent, he's ... alright.
In fairness, most of us are in the same boat and are far from eager to grant the opposing position much lattitude or credibility. I don't think being attached to your own view makes you any less thoughtful or any worse a contributor to a forum such as this one. I singled out those three because unlike other theists who post on this forum, they are both respectful and genuinely engage the substance of your argument, instead of either shitposting or just repeating their beliefs ad nauseum.
