Nope. I want your answers, in your words, to the precise questions I asked. If you cannot provide those answers, just say so.

I just think we aren’t used to folks like Bel on the forums. I made similar hasty presumptions about him when we first started engaging and I’ve come to realize that I was wrong. His answer here is honest (at least to me), and he’s made himself clear that he’s not asserting any kind supernatural life post body death.
Well, he never even answered me, so I disagree, I think it is quite slippery.
Also, my assumptions are not "hasty," unlike yours. I've been watching Bel's posts for the better part of a year. I know his routine well.
And based on my interactions with you over the past week, I think you aren’t a very careful reader.

Quote:What makes people assume he's a theist acting as an atheist are the many arguments he makes defending Christianity. Arguments, by the way, that we've heard from self-proclaimed Christians time and time again. Constantly moving the goal posts, constantly failing to state what it is he actually believes, constantly questioning and otherwise acting as a contrarian toward any and every atheist on this board. He comes across like a theist, plain and simple.
Bel has gone on record multiple times explicitly stating that some of the main tenants of Christianity are not rationally justified and require faith, including in this very thread, in the specific response you’re griping about here, lol. Hence my inference about careless reading.
