Religious writers and audiences

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Brunians is not being evasive. Rather, as far as I can tell, he considers the existence of the natural world (as he defines it) and the entire universe to be an argument for his beliefs; in short, his observations are beliefs and his beliefs are observations. There is no light between them and therefore no need to construct an argument for them.

What!??!?!

I'm not reading a book and demanding that the author makes it "easier" for me; I'm asking for a straight answer from someone that accuses me (and others) of beying insane in an internet forum. But thanks for nothing. I'm not going to waste more time with this.
