What exactly are you referring to??
He has "evidence" but not the kind that can be shared, examined, or questioned, thus indicating that he either really doesn't understand what evidence ordinarily means or he is redefining it to suit his own interests. He has met and knows God personally but when asked what non-trivial fact he can present about this acquaintance that can't be found in the Bible, he refers me to the Bible as the sufficient source of this "knowledge". He takes as factual givens what are nothing more than fanciful, uncorroborated allegations he read in a collection of old books, calls it faith (yes) but goes further and calls it "knowledge".
I know you're a fellow traveler of his, but seriously, CL, what part of any of that do you associate with honesty? In what way is he not torturing the language?
