do you actually think you are posing a question not already posed by countless theologians?

Nope. But it would seem that many of the denizens of R&S land haven't read countless theologians. =0)

Yes, I see questions often here, that I am fairly sure are not repeated very much by your 'countless theologians'.

No. But since Christians obviously have not given the questions real thought, Atheists ask them again. Sometimes, a question needs to be asked 100 times by 100different people to be truly answered.
So what is your point??

LOL...no, I wouldn't want to make you think. Don't injure yourself.
It's not that theologians haven't asked the important questions. It's that they've been hoodwinked by theological and philosophical theories of the a priori type. They've begun with a set of assumptions and tried to force nature to comply. That's how we've arrived at such lunacies as modern Creationism, which is really just a reaction against the scientific progress of the last few centuries.

Council of Nicea, 325 A.D. - when Jesus was first deemed to be "God". Christianity is based on this key moment of history, and ignores it completely.
Oh yeah... I'm not an atheist, but the most telling thing I ever heard about theology came from the sister of Dr. Stephen Hawking when she remarked "Theology? You mean where don't need anything so inconvenient as facts?" Nuff said.

Am I being terribly thick or did you leave out the part where you explained why exactly it is that the fact a question has been posed before makes it less valid?

Do you really think YOU'RE posing a question not already posed by countless believers?

Theologians start from the assumption that their preconceived religious beliefs are true; then they figure out ways to creatively defend them.
They aren't critically examining the questions.

I think atheists who pose those questions are simply posting questions they had when they were believers.

No, but I posted a question never before asked on answers.
At least nothing showed up in the similar questions part.
