Have you ever read any books written by believers or non-believers going over the issues for and against? If so, then you already know the issues that are debated.
This must be like Obama's refusal to use the phrase "radical Islam"...once he says it, then it's a thing. Until then, it's workplace violence. Similarly, maybe folks here (you included?) don't want to concede that there is evidence (even if it is "weak" in their opinion) because it's better to simply deny that any evidence exists AT ALL.
That way, you don't have to actually think about it. Which may bring us full circle to the point of the OP.
So you're still not providing the evidence. That is so typical of someone who has been asked to present evidence and instead of backing themselves up, they resort to telling the person asking for the evidence to find it themselves.
To answer your question as to why I called you stupid: Because of your redundant and totally unnecessary over usage of the phrase "over and over".
See. That is how you answer a question. Now, you try it. Where is this evidence of god?
It wasn't my intent to start a discussion of the so-called evidence that theists routinely trot out...that would derail the OP's thread.
And since the OP has made a very important point, one that has been seconded by other posters (see Posts #23 & 24, for example), then allowing you to deflect here would be inappropriate. It would be better to stay focused on Aractus' main thrust which is that stupid arguments have no place in discussions as important as these.
Although I have commented on a few threads here and there, MY primary focus at present is on one argument, and you are more than welcome to discuss it in the thread that I started elsewhere.
