I noticed you missed the threads on the value of testimony.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Thanks for playing.

Sigh,

Determining whether or not a person has a uterus doesn't take a genius...

You'd know...

Just look at how quickly Steve the Coward resorted to special pleading when confronted with his reasoning also working for other religions. Under two hours from "I don't special plead" to a textbook example of it. You must be gunning for the world record in hypocracy.

If this is being presented as evidence that people are highly gullible, I accept it.

Is that supposed to be persuasive...?

Perfect post. And it's going in the hall of fame.

Except it's testimony corroborated with an audio recording...

I like how you guys ignore the fact that Marilyn testifies to seeing a supernatural entity, while on the audio recording Branham states, and I quote "between you and I stands that light"..

Just as I thought...

It's funny how you guys shut up the moment anything resembling evidence is is actually produced...

Since you refuse to respond, you forfeit the privilege of requesting that any theist produce  evidence from now on.


Maybe we're just dumbstruck that anyone would seriously think this sort of thing could be persuasive to anyone who hadn't already imbibed plenty of the Koolade.

But Huggy really, really, really, wants it to be true.

Um...........what? How do you even measure this? By word count? By number of supposed authors? By amount of publication?

An argument for belief based on quantity alone? Really? 

This might be one of the worst propositions you've put forward for your delusion.

What evidence would you expect to see from events that happened in the first century? ..


Precisely.  Laughable to think any physical evidence for literal miraculous events could possible be found from so long ago.  Hell, we can't even find any using cameras or the instruments of science for events happening currently.  (That's kind of why many of us reject categorically anything described as 'supernatural'.)
