Stolen? Really? Are you so frustrated that you now resort to that level of silliness?

Do you care that you continually use logical fallacies?
Rob, I have read many of your posts over the past few months. I've read your own website from front to back. I know you're proud of your "Logical fallacies" page. But the fact that you erroneously claim again and again and again that I (and other theists) are employing logical fallacies does not mean that we actually are.
The problem is that you are not a very clear thinker, and you're emotional. You would benefit from reading some good books because the tripe you are gulping down here in this forum is not feeding you anything of value. Specifically, your knowledge of basic theology and scripture is practically non-existent. IOW, you don't even know what you don't know, and that makes your posts truly cringe-worthy. You're arguing (poorly) against straw-men because you don't understand what it is that Christians actually believe or why.

"If" is not much a fall-back position, rob. Either Jesus was a real person or he wasn't.
Which is it? And why?
And if he did exist, you think he was a delusional lunatic.
Why? What are the reasons you think this?
