Why not? You made a point, I challenged it? If your points don't stand up to challenges, why do you have them?
Doesn't make it different to deism.
Nah, they mostly fall in the same traps that monotheists do. They mostly replace bad arguments with no argument at all, which is even less persuasive.
I suppose that's true. The world is becoming more secular, which is having ramifications, and the makeup of the democratic party is one aspect of...

Sure, we have many methods for assessing and improving reliability, and understanding under what circumstances something is reliable. This doesn't...
Does it really address reliability? Because so far, I've mostly just seen them claim to have it, without justifying it, which is the same logic we...
Cool, I don't care about my comments either. I care about the answers to my questions. And of course, the reason you should care about them isn't...
Separate names with a comma.
