No doubt!

I'd ask for evidence and he'd use your argument of, "Because I said so."

Riveting!

I can see how much you've studied Zecharias's writings based on the above claims.

I'd honestly encourage it. He's got some nice material out.

With the refutation of Atheism, it becomes unnecessary.

Which you have yet to do, so once again we come down to, "Because I said so."

Sorry, I understand that tactic might work on the playground but it doesn't work here.

Really? Prove that God, an all powerful being, can not do what a human can do.
So when I'm discussing your anthropomorphizing of atheism you now think that were talking about your god?

Man picks up a chair and its not a violation of gravity. So how can God's doing so violate the law of gravity?
When your done debating yourself we can pick this back up.

Okay, lets go over it again then.

On page 49 of The End of Reason, Zecharias states "Sam Harris does not believe that Atheism should be a Philosophical category. He notes that one does not describe himself or herself as a 'non-alchemist' or 'non-astrologer.' But if in a discussion about your fturue someone looks at your hand and asks for your date of birth so that he can study the planetary alignment that day, it might be to your advantage to know whether he is in fact an astrologer, or a pizza maker who reads palms as an avocation. If you are facing serious health issues and a stranger gives you a potion to drink, it would be of interest to know whether this is an alchemist or a pharmacist, or a witch doctor you are dealing with. When you are debating every definition of life ranging from origin to destiny, it makes sense to know whether you hold to an Atheistic worldview or something else."

Hence Atheism is a Philosophy, that is anti-Philosophical. That is what Ravi is proving here. 2nd law of noncontradiction is violated, and you have a self refutation.

Actually based upon what you've stated he'd be the superior god, he can actually change.

Then he woudl cease to be God. God can not change.

Consistent we see in Hebrews 6:17 "17Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath."

Hahaha.

I don't belong to a movement, anymore than someone who doesn't collect stamps has a hobby.

Which of course you have yet to provide ANY evidence for so yes you are stating that your god exists "because I say so".

I think you're the one with the reasoning of "because I say so."

At least thats what has been demonstrated logistically thus far.

Ah so again it comes down to "What ravi said".

I'm sorry but I know you like Ravi, but he's not convincing at all. Nowhere near it.
