The referenced article is, in Rich's best style, devoid of any counter
arguments.  Rich seems to think that my point is that my position is
objective and that his is not.  This is not so; my position is that his
position is based subjective cosiderations and presuppositions, and is
just as much a religious position as mine is.  I lay no claims to 
objectivity; I admit freely that I am committed to my position as a
christian.  There is simply no objective way to evaluate the claims of
Christianity, either for or against.

   Rich seems to think that I never question my beliefs, judging from
his arguments.  I would invite him to share a sleepless night worrying
over my beliefs with me, but of course this is not a possibility.  Rich,
I often have doubts, and I have to deal with them, not having an infallible
Bible or an infallible Occam's razor to console me.
