Thank you. Explain?
the word but implies the negative of the earlier point.
generally: ABC but on the contrary XYZ
You were using it in places where you weren't disagreeing with the early point. It's still readable but it's better to use "and" instead. That way when you bridge points and don't want to be disagreeing with them people will understand what you are saying better.
Inspired by the call to go forth and make rationality reign...
I've started a blog at http://www.bettertoknow.wordpress.com
It teaches discussion/debate techniques by showing them at work in a dialogue about the existence of God.
I don't expect theists to read it much, but atheists will be able to discuss theology (and everything else) more effectively with theists (and everyone else) after reading it.
With that in mind, I'd much appreciate critique of the plan and execution.
Am I thinking clearly? Am I expressing the ideas well? Am I taking too long to say things, using too great inferential distances, or strawmanning?
And on another level, am I using the wrong website to blog? Are my posts too long? Are they missing some important element? Should I be doing anything differently?
