The arrogant attitude among many Christians that only Christianity is worthy of consideration is extremely off-putting, fosters ignorance, and goes against the portrayal of Jesus in the gospels.
The modern triune of “worthy” Theism (ALL loving, omniscent, omnipotent) is my usual scope
when discussing religion generally. And with that “triune”, theodicy is inevitable.
So I find it fairly offensive for critics to “bring down dialogue” by emphasizing
the problem of Evil or Suffering. Every faith and denomination has their own
”answer” for resolving/ignoring those problems. Attacking sin/suffering is
tantamount to attacking modern Theism at its core. Not helpful.

That’s no excuse for declaring that any other religion is not worth talking about.
I find it offensive that you are criticising ‘critics’ for something that hasn’t happened, and complaining about discussion of a topic that you raised.
- This is a very difficult thread to follow.
The last few dozen responses have been about semantics and something very trivial.
Or maybe one dozen, before I get called out for inexactitude and start another side argument over nothing.

- I had to use ChatGPT to sort out most of it, and from what I understand, the part that you say is about semantics and something very trivial, may or may not be trivial, but it needs, IMO, it’s own separate and maybe private thread.
