If they are "mostly" right then shouldn't the debate be whether the New Atheists have some misunderstandings on religion, or have made some absolute statements about religion that do not apply to your spirituality, or have no arguments against your particular brand of "religion"? |
"Mostly" is your word. I've never used it. I understand you've used this word to sum up my position, but it's inaccurate. I actually don't agree with their arguments on religion. They believe it's
all false. I don't. I believe Christianity can lead to a valid spiritual experience. They don't. They seem to believe that all Christians embrace Natural Theology. We don't. Dawkins thinks religion is a scientific theory. I don't. I could literally go on and on. These are big differences.
My response, to everything you've typed here, will come in a few weeks. It will be another long one.
