I agree wholeheartedly; in fact, I think it is the *best* way to gain an
understanding of an opposing viewpoint. All I can ask a skeptic is to presuppose
the existence of God for the sake of argument. Get somewhat comfortable with the
idea that a God may exist, rather than reject it categorically and argue from the
"knowledge" that one doesn't.
I mean really... how many atheists/agnostics have *really* pondered God's existence
or thought through some of the ramifications if one did? I think that most people
who don't believe in God are too lazy, afraid, or selfish to think about it.
But if anyone is game, I would love to debate from opposite sides. Takers?
