Hello Sye – you do need to respond, surely, to the two points I made in Sye’s argument<\/a> and Sye’s proof<\/a>, just below.<\/p>\n

These are two key criticisms. You did say that your website offered a “proof” of God’s existence (a “proof” in the sense of establishing as true<\/span> that God does indeed exist), but unless you can deal with these two points, surely you cannot in good conscience continue to maintain that.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can acknowledge this, yet still believe in God, and still suppose your belief is rationally founded, and indeed try to come up with a new, improved proof. So it’s not the end of the world so far as your Christian belief system is concerned.<\/p>\n

My guess is you are now aware that your claim that your website offers a “proof” is not, or is probably not, true.<\/p>\n

While I know you want to save people’s souls by converting them to Christianity, surely you don’t want to turn them into believers using what you now know to be a bogus proof? Surely that’s not what God would want either, is it? People “saved” by a bit of dodgy logic?<\/p>\n

So, given your heart is in the right place, I am guessing you will now acknowledge this, and we can move on to discuss other issues, such as how your original argument might be fixed up…<\/p>\n

Of course, you’ll have to redo your website, which is a bummer. But still, you’d rather be right, wouldn’t you? Remember your own motto: “He who hates correction is stupid”!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
