You proved my point.  You all attack WLC because he's a Christian apologist.  That's the only reason.  It's petty, but I don't expect much more from atheists.

It's not my job to try to convince you of the evidence for Christianity.  The evidence is out there if anyone wants to find it.


Missed the point duff made entirely. It goes back to what I've said before in this thread as well, which you are to dense to pick up on, that apologetics focuses mostly on the existence of A god not their particular version of god. Until someone can explain why their version of god is any more probable than any other version of god then everything else is just chaff.

but actually you've pretty much devolved into exactly the kind of person that website is designed for, people not actually looking for information or facts, just confirmation of whatever opinion they already hold.


and we come full circle, filtered the content so you don't have to address the issue and went straight to Christians being persecuted.

No I didn't.

Christian apologetics spend most of their time focusing on the truth of Christianity, not just the truth of monotheism.

Address what issue? WLC gives out information and facts all the time in his arguments. You all disagree with his conclusions, so you feel the need to attack him.

The problem is that they aren't focusing on the truth of christianity. They are focusing more often than not on the rational validity of theism while neglecting to acknowledge any religion other than their own.

Many of WLC's 'facts' are fabrications. His conclusion is irrational because his arguments are irrational and often based on outright fantasy.

Actually I attack him because he contradicts himself constantly, repeats arguments that were discredited literally centuries ago, and has never been relavent in philosophy, ever.

One good example is when talking about platonic structures. He says that they exist apparently independently of creation by God. To explain this he says one possibility is..... God made them...... and leaves it at that. He seriously starts by saying God didn't make them, and explains them by saying God made them. He's a joke and everybody except those seeking confirmation regardless of facts know it.

Christianity is bullshit simply because they forbid false idols. As if the entire universe is controlled by a single jealous and vindictive deity.

There are valid points to Christianity, but false idols was only included to consolidate power and control the masses. The wingnuts who run around attacking other people for their beliefs are basically the biggest losers.
