More exciting news: This weekend I’ll be hosting a new discussion on the argument from Hiddenness, this time featuring a new panel of theists and atheists. I’m pretty excited about this one. Each participant is well-versed in this area, discussing hiddenness with this group should be pretty meaty. We go live right at 11am CST this Saturday, February 11, 2017. Check the link below.

Here’s the version of the argument we’ll be discussing:

(1) If a perfectly loving God exists, then there exists a God who is always open to a personal relationship with any finite person.

(2) If there exists a God who is always open to a personal relationship with any finite person, then no finite person is ever nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists.

(3) If a perfectly loving God exists, then no finite person is ever nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists. (from 1, 2)

(4) Some finite persons are or have been nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists.

(5) No perfectly loving God exists. (from 3, 4)
