Quote:There appears to be a group of historical documents that different groups of people have **claimed** to be from this god.
Hence my increased ballpark risk evaluation for this god (say, at 20%? .. not more than 50) compared to the risk from the Unicorn (±0.1%?)
But that's just it - a 'claim' that a particular document is of divine origin has no more weight than the 'claim' that Rufus saw a unicorn or that Matilda was abducted by aliens with laser printers where their genitals should be. And it doesn't lend weight to Rufus' claim that 100 of his friends have never known him to lie - Rufus could be mistaken, or he might have been hallucinating.
And the fact that a group of nomadic semi-savages have decided - long, loooong - after the fact that this Gospel or this Sura is the Divine word of the Almighty doesn't sway me in the least. Especially when there's evidence to the contrary.
