Look, my preconditions are minimal -- not defend Christianity generally and length of posts.
Yours, it appears, requires me to acknowledge in advance the possibilty the Church is a fraud. Or answer a bunch of questions you throw at me in advance.
Like I say, you are just a coward -- looking for reasons not to accept my challenge. Coward. Coward.
I have to sign off and go back to writing my brief. I don't expect acceptance of my offer, but more evasion.

For what it's worth, I can see your point, and I can understand Tal's. I would not want to debate someone who isn't interested in truth. That seems to be what Tal is asking, that you let us know whether you are interested in knowing the truth or just in scoring debating points. If it's the latter, then by all means it's a waste of time talking to you.
