The Problem of Hell Redux (2)
I thank KeytarHero for agreeing to debate this with me.

Abortion
the Naturalist has better reason for the assumption that nature is uniform then the Christian

4. Closing statements
It is rational to place faith in the invisible pink unicorn.
My opponent declares that appealing to faith when committing to the reality of Invisible Pink Unicorn, regardless of religious affiliation, is irrational and fallacious. I intend to show that, quit...
