I think it is a good sign. And fwiw, you are not a bad prophet.

You'll notice RWP, (PhD) prefers not to attempt a rebuttal but to resort to the sophomoric comparison to Islam. Does he really think "many creator claims, therefore no Creator at all?" That is unworthy of a college freshman let alone a PhD.

Now, now. We're in the religion forum. No need to bring over here the bad habits that rub off on us over there. My sense is that we need to just take each piece of whatever at face value HERE.

Im serious too. You'll notice that most of the ping list from PH's posse never shows up here....

There is no God but (my) God wasn't an accurate paraphrase of what you wrote?

Does he really think "many creator claims, therefore no Creator at all?"

I think 'many creator claims, all based on an ultimate appeal to unreason (faith), no rational way to distinguish them'. And pointing out the commonality of their sometimes highly aggressive claims of exclusivity is IMO a reasonable point.

That is unworthy of a college freshman let alone a PhD.

How fortunate your opinion is of little consequence.
