I make no claims and so have no burden of roof. I need prove/disprove/ falsify exactly nothing.
I do not argue with apologists.Beliefs formed and maintained without the use of reason or evidence will rarely be demolished using those tools. PLUS, I really, truly do not give a rat's rectum about the personal superstitions of others,as long as they leave me alone.
My overall position: You believe in any or all of the things I mentioned above? How wonderful for you! You'd like me to share your beliefs? No prob. Simply show the evidence in support of your claims. (No,NOT your sacred books).If you are unable to do so,please stop wasting my time and bugger off.
Agree entirely! If there WAS any evidence then it would be, um, evident, would it not? Simple!
There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.
