My Daffy Duck Challenge

Wow.

And this coming from someone who claims he can see God behind every green tree.

(Minus Christmas trees, of course.)

I guess I just have the hardest time seeing God in bumper stickers.

Is it because it's in writing, and you have a distrust for what people put in writing?

Not a distrust. I once had on my car a bumper sticker that said that "God is way too big for any single religion". I trusted that one because to me it spoke truth. But if I'm honest with myself, there's a place where it came from ego on my part to put it on my car.

"God is way too big for any single religion".

Do you see how unbelievers can (and do) use that mindset against God and demand equal airtime for idols and false gods?

I think religion is the issue. Not God so much. Personally, I'm all for equal time for any images of God...because God comes in many shapes and forms. Just not in a Bumper Sticker.

No.

Fine. So when you brought them up in post #109, you used an invalid argument.

Those Ten Commandments are cause-and-effect evidence for the existence of God;

No. They are evidence of people's believe in a god.

and having them removed, then claiming there's no evidence for the existence of God is collegiate.

In which you - again - write something counterfactual. Nobody has ever claimed that the absence of the ten commandments were evidence of the none existence of any deity.

Academia considers the word of God as maleware and firewalls It.

You were trying to convince us that creationists are not anti intelligence. This kind of cheap jabs at the academic world doesn't really support your message.

It's depressing that people don't want their beliefs to be challenged. And a sign of weakness.

I do ... ... because I believe that everyone's beliefs should be challenged.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Yes, amen to that!

But these days, the trick is to find someone who actually has a question for me rather than an answer ...

Your communication skills don't leave much to ask.

(That's a compliment.)

You're too kind, AV!

I do ...

A very recommendable attitude.
