In the modern world, most of the positive arguments for the existence of God are (of course) fatally flawed.
Wha, since when? Both Thomistic metaphysical and Kantian epistemological style arguments have met up against substantial resistance? Where would I go to find such counterarguments? (ETA: Maybe Schopenhauer?)
(ETA: Yo LW, maybe it’s just ‘cuz it’s me, in which case it’s fine, but in general it’s bad to downvote people who request counterarguments for their pet theories! But it’s probably just ’cuz it’s me so no big deal.)
To a large extent, it is just you. If some of the other theists on LW asked, I would bother putting together a good response, but with you I don’t think doing so would make any difference. You have not behaved like someone who’s genuinely interested in the object-level arguments.
Strange, I feel as though I’m one of the only people interested in object-level arguments (ETA: which is why I go out of my way to e.g. read Aquinas). It’s very rare that object-level arguments get brought up unfortunately.
