Lesson 1 for discussion:
Simply stating something does not make it true, and is not persuasive to sceptics.

Rob, does that statement include itself? 
If so then it doesn't necessarily make it true and you haven't persuaded me.  . J/K.

kingpin, nothing wrong with your logic.
If we stated "Rob is a human"
would make the statement below very untrue and fallacious!
"Simply stating something does not make it true, and is not persuasive to sceptics."
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

The Christian, 1890: "I ain't descended from no filthy monkey!!"
The Christian, 2015: "I ain't the result of some big bang!!"
Same arrogance. Slightly different arguments.

Of course Whateverist. I understand that's not very common here......maybe it's a......miracle?
Be careful. The last funny Christian (intentionally funny, that is) that I can remember joining AF de-converted.

Well If you believe I am wrong in my current belief system and headed towards de-converting, why do you say I should be careful? One might think you would want to help me along to the correct belief. Though I'm not concerned. If my beliefs were that flippant they wouldn't be worth believing at all.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
