Scattered throughout this thread is an argument that appears to go like this.
1) I believe certain things to be self-evidently true e.g. everything has a cause.
2) Anyone who does not believe these things is irrational.
3) Therefore, any requests they may make for evidence or clarification of these beliefs is irrational.
4) Furthermore they are intellectual wimps for not putting forward their own set of self-evident beliefs.
