Anti-Climacus

LINK: I firmly agree with evangelical outpost on this one: the belief in God is a fundamental part of one's outlook on the world, and should be regarded as akin to other arguable-but-grounded claims (e.g., you can argue whether or not objects exist in the world--as a matter of epistemology, it's far from clear that they do. But just about everyone is prepared to accept that you function in the world as if there are objects, and this is an acceptable leap of faith to make). Which I find, as a theist, makes arguing about the existence of God a sort of odd exercise--not unlike arguing for the existence of Tuesdays.
