Here's a good idea. Find a debate where in your view the theist wins, and post it. This would fit with the thread title, right.
Or just keep crying about how your butt hurts.
We can set any limit on how many questions.
You don't even have to do this with me, pick who you want to do this with and if they accept the rest of us can judge.
-Removed-It was just typical, far as I know. Here is one advertised as the christian wins. Let me know what you think, all right? From here it looks like an attrition battle so far. I've got it playing in the background.

Originally posted by @kellyjayI like your last two sentences, that's fine. I don't see any reason to limit the number of questions, let's just keep going until we're not having fun? I would ask that we try to tackle the meat of a question and not play semantics. And we shouldn't be playing softball.

how does your belief system give you its truth?

But you are asking about my paganism, I think. I believe minds exist, and this is something science has a hard time with. Anyway, it does not seem unreasonable to me to suppose that perhaps the biosphere of our planet is sufficient substrate to give rise to mind. And on solitary wilderness excursions, I heard it. I felt it. And I've found that my experience fits nicely into some of the old myths. It feels right to me. If we continue to kill this planet, we all die. We go extinct. By personifying nature, maybe we won't be so calm about killing her.
A more direct answer: introspection. I am a part of nature on earth, so I just need to listen.
