with a name like that, I'd have thought it was about the staircase that didn't existImmanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2026 4:39 amAbsolutely.
As a starter, try Andy Bannister's The Atheist Who Didn't Exist. It's clear, straightforward, witty, charitable and readable. I think you'll enjoy it.

Nobody has any recommendations for you here. And I see nobody did on Reddit either. One of this guy's books is called "Atheism: The Basics", if that's not an easy enough entry point then he's not the right author for you.pnerd wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 9:52 pmHow is that one of Graham Oppy's books?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2026 4:39 amAbsolutely.

It's not. But unless you think Oppy's the only person that can write a good book, why does that matter?pnerd wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 9:52 pmHow is that one of Graham Oppy's books?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2026 4:39 amAbsolutely.

Even though I do not think Oppy is the only person who can write a good book, my question was specifically about his books. I obviously wasn't looking for random recommendations about random books/authors.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 4:57 amIt's not.

It wasn't an open request. I meant it as an extension of my original post, since I didn't get an answer to my original question. I specifically quoted my original post when I asked if anyone had any recommendations.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:44 amAfter Fairy told you (s)he had never heard of Oppy, you replied simply:pnerd wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:40 amEven though I do not think Oppy is the only person who can write a good book, my question was specifically about his books.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 4:57 am

"Does anyone have any recommendations?"
It appeared like a more open request. And I had a recommendation.
Then it was ambiguous. The context certainly seemed to imply a more open request. However, you're not obligated.pnerd wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:50 amIt wasn't an open request.

It was not. Given that I had quoted my original question that asked for a recommendation of Oppy's book, the context was pretty unambiguous.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:51 amThen it was ambiguous.pnerd wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:50 amIt wasn't an open request.

You've found your Christian to argue with. You raised the question months ago. Perhaps by now you are in a position to recommend an Oppy book for mister Can to read.

I see you feel so. As I said, you are not obligated. No harm, no foul.pnerd wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2026 5:53 amIt was not. Given that I had quoted my original question that asked for a recommendation of Oppy's book, the context was pretty unambiguous.
