I’ll begin with a summary view of the chapters of dialogue.įollowing our initial statements which make clear our religious background and present religious beliefs, the dialogue begins in Chapter 1: Objective Morality and the Biblical God. So where are we now? What has this dialogue accomplished? At this point I can only speak for myself, as we clearly remain in profound disagreement. Surely, at the very least, we have emerged from this dialogue with special feelings of friendship and respect. But if ever I were accused of a heinous crime, I would want you to be my defense counsel, fully convinced of my innocence. Or perhaps, because you are a most charitable fellow, you see how my sense of reality just differs radically from your own, how an argument that seems rational to you seems perverse or question-begging to me. You, of course, see the problem quite differently and think me to be stubbornly embracing error. That by-and-large you have failed to convince me I attribute to the inherent impossibility of successfully defending theism on rational grounds. In early versions of this manuscript you buttressed your arguments with a huge number of quotations from Christian scholars when I edited them out because I thought them redundant or stylistically inaccessible for most readers (myself included), you cheerfully acquiesced in my judgment. A letter that you sent me in February of 2001 (regular mail) was 98 single-spaced pages long and had 403 footnotes. Less obvious to the reader is your enormous scholarship. I think you have presented the strongest possible case for theism, and you’ve responded to my challenges with the best possible answers.

In this dialogue, I have had the privilege of encountering a Christian theist who is not satisfied to be one simply because of the influence of his parents or others that he respects.

My sister, a devout Christian, has observed that perhaps 90% of believers and nonbelievers alike have become so without the heavy lifting of serious and sustained thought, many without even much emotional involvement.
