Response to a comment about debate with Ali Sina

Question:
You have shown courage in putting devout christians on equal footing with devout muslims. You seem to be a rational person, but the fact that you believe in Quran belies that impression.

You seem to think that life has only two parts: here and after. What about before? Do you have any evidences, apart from Quran, about afterlife? If you bother to look, you will find more convincing evidences about previous lives than after lives.

After your debate with Ali Sina and the way you turned tail, your views do not sound convincing. Be honest with yourself man. If there is a God, he wouldn’t like the way you are deceiving yourself and others.

Response:
We have already started discussing matters in areas of our disputes. I hope the discussion turns out to be useful for us and the readers. However, I would like to point out one thing: The expressions like “turned tails” and “be honest to yourself” etc. are not befitting for a decent person like you. It gives the impression of a person who is emotionally charged and playing to the whims of a crowd. I have time and again given my reasons of withdrawing from the debate. I don’t claim that I wasn’t at fault at all. But I don’t feel thrilled at the choice of expressions some of you go for. Let’s try to improve the level of understanding of our readers and let’s try to improve their taste as well. Let us help them understand that there is difference between a serious academic debate and, for example, a soccer match.
