Is God Self-Evident

Hey Iano. I still fail to see why he would want this decision to be made on the basis of faith rather than fact? Not if we have genuine free-will. Not if we are genuinely capable of being "evil". Well..... So some believe.Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

I read the link and I am unimpressed.It's whole premise is to speculate on the mind of God and then demonstrate why that presumed thinking is fallacious.If it wants to appeal to the converted (i.e. atheists) then it might do so to some extent. But few thinking theists would give these arguments much credence on the basis that if the premise is flawed so are the conclusions.Some less thinking theists might be stumped. But frankly they are not usually difficult to stump anyway.Sorry............

Woohoo! I for one am glad to have you back in the EvC fold. Erm OK. For the sake of argument if nothing else I will accept this I think? But I am still completely bemused as to why faith rather than fact is God's chosen means of enlightenment, salvation and whatever else?Are you just saying it this way because he says that is what he wants? Is that what you are saying? I have enough EvC stuff on my plate at the moment!! But you are my favourite theistic opponent so I felt compelled to at least question your answers!
