Tell me something, RR.  Are you incapable or just unwilling to think for yourself.  Why do you feel compelled to select "experts" ( and you mainly seem to choose those who tell you what you want to hear ) to lead you by the nose?

I know xhristards are sheep but you could put up a little resistance.

I select experts by what they have to say (and the reasons they give).   You may note, that I'm the one asking for the evidence or reason here (quite often).  I don't just dismiss him as a mythicists, but address  the issues with the reasoning.

I'm not the one dismissing a priori, as just apologetics.

He desperate to misrepresent your position and make baseless accusations of bias . And then misrepresents Carrier and shows he has fuck all understanding of his work  . Then actually has the balls to declare he's listen or weighed the evidence before deciding. I'm shocked reality didn't collapse  into a singularity of bullshit from that statement .

What do you feel that I misrepresented from Carrier's work?

How about anytime you employ any criticism of him and the saddest part is you objections are just parroting idiots like Tim O Neil .

No you don't you pick them because they support your position

Yup as a motivated skeptic who has no interest in said evidence

Do you have something specific?  Otherwise I'm just going to ignore this as your normal blather / chest thumping.   If I am misunderstanding however, I would like to know.   If you can't provide something specific, then I'm just going to ignore it.

Quote:Do you have something specific? 

Why would i need to be specific when my point was your entire criticism is wrong .

Quote: Otherwise I'm just going to ignore this as your normal blather / chest thumping. 

By all means ignore me it does not alter the fact you do as i have said .You call it chest thumping i rightly call it stating a fact .

Quote: If I am misunderstanding however, I would like to know. 

No you don't want to know .Because you whole case against Carrier is a misunderstanding and that'[s all you have .

Quote:  If you can't provide something specific, then I'm just going to ignore it.

As i said do so it's not like your not going to anyway and i'll be spared a small novels worth of you empty non points and tired mental gymnastics .
