Skepticism Examined: Wes Janssen Debate
A Christian, Mr. Wes Janssen, wrote a paper, "Skepticism Examined" which he submitted for publication on my site. After that, we have exchanged a few rounds of discussion, so I have moved our discussion the the "debate" section of my site.
It should be noted that Mr. Janssen has no interest in "debate" as a sport He would prefer to consider it a discussion of ideas rather than a "debate". Nevertheless, the "debate" section of my site seemed to be the best place for our discussion.

Another skeptic that has been following my discussion with Mr. Janssen, a Mr. C. R. Drost, felt that my response in Round 3 was "weak" and wrote his own response. It should be noted that Mr. Janssen considers our discussion as primarily being between me and him, although it is being made public. Perhaps I should not have accepted Mr. Drost's paper, as perhaps it is unfair to Mr. Janssen to have multiple people disagreeing with his views. But, I did publish Mr. Drost's paper, and therefore Mr. Janssen has responded. And Drost has now produced a counter-response. I think I'd prefer to request no further skeptic response papers to be fair to Mr. Janssen.
