Not against his actual arguments, no. Against him being some kind of spokesman for atheism, very much so. :D I personally wonder how much he...
Still waiting on an answer here. And yes, obviously, this being a debate, I am trying to be persuasive. So by presenting an argument that...
In this case, I feel you are being incredibly judgmental of something you don't really know much about. I only have other people's kids very...
