The article presents the author's reply to comments by Gregory Bassham, in response to his article in favor of British writer C.S. Lewis' apologetical argument from desire (AFD). According to the author, Bassham's claim that the principle of credulity (PC) cannot support the AFD because it only applies to perceptual claims, is controversial. The author believes that joy is a by-product of various immanent objects of experience without being a desire for any of those objects.
