Siegfried, who represents the secular, intellectual community at
large, makes twelve assertions in his presentation. These aren't pulled from thin air; they are common
positions that have been taken by atheists and secularists in public debates. We are going to visit all
twelve, one a week, for the next twelve weeks. Siegfried speaks and then I (representing the Christian
community) answer. The first assertion is where he notes that all Christian believers are, in fact,
atheists, as it pertains to any number of historically known deities.
