Your ironic statement is misplaced, sir. No theist except myself wrote any reply in this thread.
There are very compelling arguments for God out there, you know... I am not sure if you are a young fellow trying to please some members in this forum by defending atheism, or a grown atheist. I would suspect it's the former. Here is a sincere advice from me: you won't be finding any truth in internet forums, especially this forum, where argumentum ad nauseam is a widespread tactic, why not take a more neutral stance toward belief and religions and think coldly about this issue before returning to discussion and debates? Religous belief, or the absence thereof, is a very serious matter, you know.. just make sure you got it right.

(3)Okay. What would be the formulation of trinity instead.. according to you?
(1) Not on me/handy/able to link to at the present moment. I have seen undoctored video of Craig admitting that 'Truth' (Yes, capital 'T') will always be trumped/beaten by what he 'Knows' (I.E. Craig's fee-fees can't be disabused) to be hence that he'll twist, obfuscate and otherwise weasly himself around to protect his 'Feelings'/'Beliefs'.
(2)His standing within his community is not in question. His honesty, however, is quite questionable. Plus there's the fact that he's made errors when talking about things outside of his field. Of which he's been corrected. Only to continue with his dialogue unchaged.
(3) It's not my theology. Who's on the Son. What's on the Holy Spirit. I don't know is on third and frankly I don't give a darn.
I'll look into that. Thanks for the reply.
Regarding trinity, it just look obvious to me that it contradicts basic logical rules, all I've read so far is clumsy justifications. It's enough that Craig could only find a mythological dog to compare his trinitarian God to.
