    Is God real?

    Hello Evangelicalhumanist, thanks for your response. Your piece “The God in Your Head is Real” is excellently written and was a very enjoyable read. In that one brief post you touched on significant metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions that cannot be shoved under the rug or...
