Dave on Mar 27, 2004 5:53 PM | Elliot is like a lot of atheists. Atheists think more about God than anyone. (He read all those books) The easiest and most intuitive argument against theism is reduction to abserbtidy, which Elliot u...

shonk on Mar 27, 2004 6:02 PM | Dave, I think you make a good point about atheist psychology, but I want to point out that what I'm quoting in the post aren't Elliot's words, but rather those of someone who emailed him. Elliot, las...
