Have I ever pandered to my own interpretation? Or is there some kind of special pleading here for NV? My point that I keep making over and over again is that you can't take one account and draw such vast conclusions from it. He has said multiple times that it would be "irrational" for a christian to not sell all of their belongings. He hasn't proven that in any way. Taking one single account and drawing major conclusions is the fallacy of composition. That still hasn't been addressed by the NV. Also, it reminds me of Matt Dilahuntys debate with Sye where Sye kept playing short clips of random things Matt said.
Also, in response to your other recent post... I am not trying to preach any specific brand of christianity. I have pointed out my past beliefs as a way of showing how some of the points made are straw men arguments but thats about it. If you make a claim, then you have the burden of proof. So no matter what brand of christianity you're speaking to, if your argument sucks, then it sucks
