Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already

[thesummerqueen]

I don't really understand the point of this thread. Forum posts and threads by their very nature are very repetitive, you kind of had to think of that before joining them? And plus, it's perfectly possible for someone to argue from largely the same framework but from a different angle. I don't see this as anything other than an attempt to ward off Christians from the forum and I hope they don't buy into that.

Usually, they don't. Most of them don't even try to. As most of these arguments have been around for hundreds of years, you'd think people would assume that MAYBE we'd encountered them before, and rarely do we come across anyone who's got a different or interesting perspective.

The only reason the repetitiveness of arguments in SKEPTIC circles is somewhat refreshing is that science gives us new ways to approach things, and thus new pseudoscience for them to cling to. Religion doesn't afford anything new.
