Since you continually punt on these questions, any reasonable take would be that, yes, you lack understanding of why you are doing what you are doing. Like Tolstoy. His book, A Confession, reads so much like Ecclesiastes it is beautiful. A vanity and a chasing after the wind was his self-appointed teacher of the human race role. Against all odds (considering human nature), he made the break with his own fantastic self-concept.

This of course doesn't mean that every messenger of god is false. I hear things that are a little different than the huckster or self-deluded or zealot true believer stuff. Yet "just believing it" is not solid ground, of course.

This is a nonsensical reply that did not even try to address my point. Would you care to try to defend your god against my accusation that it is a vile and needlessly cruel monster and that you are making a huge mistake in worshiping it?

Come on Craig, this is the problem of evil, theism 101... What's your response?
