FTA:

There’s a difference between (1) explaining how you see things or how your worldview fits together and (2) making an argument with evidence to convince me to adopt your worldview. Said another way, the two options are explaining how you see it (explanation) vs. how I should see it (argument). Apologists sometimes focus on (1) and forget that the words coming out of their mouths are backed by zero evidence.

    Illustrations are a good example of this. They’re good at showing how the person making the illustration views the world, but they don’t actually prove anything about the world itself.

    When christians are taught that their faith should be treated like fact and then they glorify faith without evidence there’s going to be some pretty big logic gaps.

      You have to be a pretty selfish person to try and take someone’s faith away from them. Some people take a lot from their faith.

      Turnabout is fair play. I don’t challenge anyone’s faith unless they insist I have to share theirs.
