A Debate Challenge to Mr. Loftus
The following is a debate challenge I just issued to John Loftus, who has “forbidden” me from using a presuppositional argument on his blog.
I find it ironic that John Loftus has said I’m not allowed to write any more about my presuppositionalist position, but then you go ahead and post questions for presuppositionalists to answer. Did you not realize that Loftus is not going to allow any response, exbeliever?
In any case, I want Loftus to either put up or shut up. If my view is so obviously erroneous, then Loftus should have no problem demonstrating that in an official written debate instead of on a severely limited blog post. I propose the thesis: “Logic presupposes the existence of God.” I will affirm, Loftus denies. I will post the debate on my website and he can post it wherever he sees fit.
Should Loftus conveniently not have the time to engage in said debate, I am more than willing to debate exbeliever instead. Or anyone else who is a contributor to “Debunking Atheism.” We can hash out details such as how many rounds, length of each section, etc. as soon as someone accepts this challenge.
If no one bothers to take the challenge, I will be forced to conclude you have no argument against my postion and are only seeking to silence me through threats instead of through a reasoned defense. Should any of you wish to engage in the debate, you can reach me at cd@calvindude.com or else just post a response here.
I won’t be holding my breath.

Well, John, I’m glad you’re concerned about my readership :-D In any case, have no fear:
Yes, there are a few people who read this.

[...] Loftus wants to forget that one of us has actually expressed an interest in looking at the issues involved in a scholarly manner while the other one has cowered in fear. [...]

[...] When reminded that CalvinDude has already issued a debate challenge to General Loftus, Loftus suddenly went into convulsions. He gasped out, “No, I only want to debate someone who won’t make me look like an idiot” before passing out. [...]
