I have no problem assuming the existence of something for the sake of argument. I don't need to believe in the FSM in order to test the logic of the argumentation of his/her/its existence.
That's true. I'm sorry for confusing claims made about the FSM with the FSM. I agree that I would object if people were claiming something inconsistent with the revelation of the Biblical God. What does the FSM claim about him/her/itself?
@Shuffle
We need to determine if you are a false prophet of the FSM before we can continue.
The FSM claims that you are an idiot.
I like spaghetti... does that count?

You're a poster child for why theists can be so damn hard to get along with.
And you still haven't gotten that the Bible is not proof of its own stories - you have these oh so very obvious failsafes built into your brain that makes critical thinking apparently impossible. But for all of your prolific posting, I still get the feeling that you're doing it mainly to keep yourself convinced.
Let me get this straight...and I hope others besides you are listening...
When I posted a comment saying that based on what I read from him, I think rob might have the potential to become a Christian one day, I was being condescending, right?
But when you post a comment saying that based on what you read from me, I'm only doing it to keep myself convinced...but that's NOT condescending.
But we're both just speculating about someone we don't know except through this forum...
Could you help me to understand why what you're doing is okay, but what I did is not?
Thanks in advance.
Oh, one other point...you still haven't gotten it into your head that the Bible is not one single book...it is 73 books by 40+ authors over a 1,500-year period. And the NT specifically is 27 different books with the four gospels providing independent, multiple attestation from eyewitnesses, so, yeah, they pretty much are proof of their common material. We also have non-canonical material from non-Christian sources providing additional corroboration...something you have not thought critically about, apparently.
