They maybe good writers and academics and they are entitled not to believe in God. There equally intelligent people who DO believe in God. Faith is a matter of personal choice and everyone must respect each other's choices. Forced religion or atheism both defeat the purpose they are meant to be for.Comment

That would have been true if the assertion was that the claim of the authority was sufficient in and of it self. However, the claim is "academics speaking about God", meaning that the argument is in what they say and not who they are.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View Post@Malakand
