Lebell,
Well, on the positive side of this, you, for example, are always quick to state your theistic assumptions. That makes for efficient dialogs - of which we've had many.
The down side though, can be seen in many a tête-à-tête on this forum and site. It's either that folks are purposely concealing their assumptions or - most probably - just unaware they're positions are pinioned on them.
I've always felt that the paradigm of the scientific method shows us a methodology we can apply to rational discourse: state the assumptions in front, and carry on from there. What happens is the arguments that contain real wheat are more easily separated from those consisting mainly of chaff.
irateplatypus and Thagrastay, I'm leaning toward a two-forum approach myself. We'll consider it.
Thanks.
