Why Christianity?

[Jenny A]

Just a quick note: I have no problem openly admitting that I copied a portion of the the article in my post. Big whoop.

Just one of the cardinal sins of acedemia, no big whoop. Also 100% no exceptions against the forum rules.

I'm not here to win praise or get paid. I'm here to get information into the minds of some people who desperately need it.

Which you are apparently wlling to lie and cheat to do.

For the record, MOST of the material I post is my own adaptation of things that others have said before me. I mean seriously...after 2,000 years, how many new ways are we going to find to answer the same tired objections that skeptics ask?

When there are no real answers copying won't help.

When I do post material written by others, I do provide attribution and links...MOST of the time. I think it is fair to say that I am more diligent about quoting sources than just about anyone else in the forum since most people here just blow out their own opinions with little or no supporting material from experts.

We can see whether there is citation for fact or opinion and evaluate the argument accordingly. Plagerism is by it's very nature a crime of concealment. It's also intellectal theft.

HOWEVER, occasionally, I think that revealing the source of a passage I'm quoting will actually cause people to ignore it or to discount it completely or in part.

Too bad so sad.

Sometimes I have to wrap my dog's medicine in bacon to get him to swallow a pill. Similarly, if I have to hide a source to get folks here to read what they need to learn, so be it. The fact that I have to resort to subterfuge says more about you atheists than it does about me.

You think getting people to listen to you is a good reason to be intellectually dishonest? Really? Grow up. Develope a little moral fiber.
