I have been trying to reset the second blog to post now and it's not doing it. If it doesn't post by tomorrow morning I will figure something out to get it to post.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737176726360623655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891021171911308006.post-59445974120143852912008-06-19T12:16:00.000-07:002008-06-19T12:16:00.000-07:00My point was merely that GW asked specific questio...My point was merely that GW asked specific questions and your response seemed evasive.

This would not be a defense of Christianity. To defend Christianity I have to explain what I mean by Christianity for I am not defending what many atheist think Christianity is about. I am defending "mere Christianity". I cannot do that justice in one blog. I have written three blogs in response, but I am posting them one at a time. However, I will change that and go ahead and post them now if you desire. Each response I give is directly in response to the flaws she alleges. Just the same, I will write more as the discussion goes on as needed. I think your wife deserves more from me than a pat answer in response. Thus I spent time developing a response.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737176726360623655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891021171911308006.post-25016336724057868292008-06-19T08:11:00.000-07:002008-06-19T08:11:00.000-07:00Note: I'm Godless Woman's husband."Likewise when I...Note: I'm <A HREF="http://godlesswoman.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Godless Woman</A>'s husband.<BR/><BR/>"Likewise when I put forth that Christianity lines up with reality and explains it better than other truth claims, I then have to provide a framework to show the reasonability and probability that it does indeed correspond to reality. [...] I am attempting to write on the many reasons why I make this claim in the many blogs I am writing."<BR/><BR/>If you want to "provide a framework" that spans multiple blog posts, that's your choice, but GW asked a very straightforward question and we were hoping for a succinct response.<BR/><BR/>For example, if we were asked to defend our atheism, we would simply point out that there isn't a shred of evidence to support the existence any deities, and that there is plenty of evidence discrediting every major religion and its deity (e.g. the Bible and the Christian God).<BR/><BR/>Would you be willing to provide a distilled, straightforward defense of your position?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
