Assuming that god is responsible for anything is a non-sequitur. Because "god" is just a vague woowoo placeholder for "i don't know" So when someone says "god is responsible for X". They are really saying "I don't know what is responsible for X".

No, the universe is not fine tuned for life. Life managed to exist within the universe. What makes our version of life on Earth so objectively special it matters? I could just as easily say "If the universe didn't unfold exactly as it did, the present universe would be different." Okay, and? Why does it matter? Humans? We just got here, and probably wont be around long, relatively speaking. Tiny specs of briefly animated carbon that feeds on the carcasses of other life, reproduces and dies. Gee, that's the pinnacle of existence, because for the brief time we're alive, we have the capacity to say so? It's an arrogant notion.

If the universe is finely tuned for life, it logically follows that there is a finite number of ways that the universe can sustain life. Subsequently there is a limit to the number of ways God could create a universe capable of sustaining life. So there are standards or rules that God has to follow (in order to create a universe capable of sustaining life). Rules that God must follow. Rules that dictate the possible actions of God. Rules that are beyond God. Rules that God are subservient to. I have yet to meet a religious person, whose eyes aren't about to pop out of their heads at this point....

So many of these dumb apologist arguments that depend on people being bamboozled by particularly large or small numbers are premised entirely on an absurd scaling factor. When you examine atomic structure or fundemental forces from a human scale, of course any pertubations will be incredibly miniscule. I put it like this. When I'm walking around in my flat it takes a fair number of steps to travel from room to room, but if we examined my movements at the scale of the solar system, then me moving a mere 1 × 10^-whatever AU has moved me from one room to another. That infintisimally small movement when measured against a cosmic scale has resulted in me occupying very different states, but from the human scale me lifting a finger or flicking out a toe isn't going to allow me to move between rooms.

Saying 'faith is confidence' is useless and answers nothing about what the contention is. You're answering half of the question, and mind you, the half of the question we already know the answer to. You can say "faith is trust" or "faith is hope" but you STILL haven't answered the question. You're still not giving the justification for having the confidence, you've just kicked the can down the road. So now we have to ask "confidence based on what" until we get you to admit that whether it's hope, confidence, trust, or whatever...it's held with a dearth (and sometimes in spite of) the best evidence available. That's the key, and THAT actually answers the question. If you don't give the complete explanation of what it is combined with the justification for having it, you are just preaching and not adding anything substantive to the discussion. But let's be honest... If I believed crap in spite of evidence, I would want to dance around the issue as well cuz that's embarrassing af.

There isn't a unanimous agreement on the definition of a Christian. Peterson's assertion that it can be defined as a belief aligns with one perspective. Conversely, another viewpoint posits that a Christian is someone who "follows Christ". In religious studies, we contrast "substantive" and "functional" kinds of definitions. The former concentrates on the intrinsic nature of the religion (such as belief), while the latter emphasizes the religion's purpose or function (such as providing meaning or guidance).
