I can do nothing -other- than deny that "evidence" out of hand. Because I, for my part, insist on rational argumentation. That is the claim, not the evidence.(October 2, 2016 at 2:56 pm)Rhythm Wrote: No one -needs- to guess as to your motivations. You've made them clear. You insist upon conspiracy theories, plain as day. That's what you demanded that others explain, repeatedly, as though this were an explanation of the mythicist position....which it is not.
What historical evidence? Wait, wait, don't tell me "the bible says......"...................
I'm not insisting on anything... In light of you providing your position, I am saying that is normally what I have found. If you would like to provide your reasons, which contradict that experience, then I have been inviting you to do so.
And yes, I do believe what the bible says that others saw and reported on, is evidence (as well as the surrounding history). I'm not saying, that every claim is true (there is more to it than that), but if you are going to deny this type of evidence out of hand, then I find you asking for evidence over the internet to be rather silly.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
