A question

A question May 21, 2009

A reader asks:

How do you generally deal with these sorts of arguments?

“I could claim that an invisible pink untouchable transcendant uncreated mouse created the universe and I’d have exactly the same amount of evidence to prove it as for the Christian God.”

Ignore them as deeply shallow, seriously unserious pieces of dumb rhetoric intended to medicate some inner need to reject God and refuse engagement with rationality.

As I say, Evangelical Atheism is primarily about a certain sort of personality disorder, not about Thomas’ demonstrations of the existence of God. I can’t heal personality disorders. Nor can I change wills bent on shouting nonsense as a shield against civil discourse and common sense.
