I already did and do find spaces in which I debate as a Christian, so I am in no need for further encouragement - my intention could also be described as encouraging others. Since you are a Christian yourself, and you may find yourself in the defense as such, by statements like the above one in my post that "you are intellectually lazy" or similar implications, I was giving an interpretation of mine what it can mean to deal with God on an intellectual effortful basis.
Do you never find yourself in the defense or someone questioning your belief? If so, how satisfied were you with the result of such a debate?
