What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

[RoadRunner79]

It seems to me a number of atheist get quite emotional and seem fairly invested (despite claims of only skepticism).  Can I just dismiss everything they say as biased?
I can understand this position perhaps on an individual basis (if given reason to do so), but it doesn't seem right to assume it; on a general level.

Perhaps this is your bias showing?

Regarding Bart Ehrman, his work differs quite a bit, between his popular writings and talks, to his more scholarly work.  For example here is what Ehrman say's in an interview found in the appendix of some versions of  "Misquoting Jesus" (my understanding is that this is removed from later additions).


Frankly, I find most of the people that you here speak on a given topic be it religion, atheist,  evolution, or Dr. Ehrman, are fairly involved and invested.

Here we go again. Your childish kneejerk reaction to bluntness  "Emotional".

I love my mom, she remained a Catholic her entire life, but even she knew I thought the idea of eating a magic cracker was bullshit. Just like you don't buy claims of Apollo or Thor.

So if you had a personal friend who went around every single day constantly repeating "The New England Patriots beat the Chicago Cubs in the Stanley Cup", don't hand me any bullshit that that would not bother you to the point of wanting to correct them.

Yes naked assertions bother us. Yes we call bad claims out. Some of us are more blunt about it than others. Nobody wants you dead, nobody is going to have you arrested, we are not going to rape your women or eat your babies. We simply think you are full of shit.

Bad logic bothers us, yes and so what. Maybe you need to grow up.

I don't have a problem with "bluntness", I am probably a little overly straight forward in my approach than perhaps is required.  

So how does this post tie into anything about what I said?   Or are you just making "naked assertions" looking to attack the person, rather than the argument.
Bad Logic bothers me as well, and if you think I am thinking incorrectly, I'm going to ask you why specifically.   From what I have seen, you don't normally support your self, and most of what you post (at least as of late), doesn't pertain to what was stated.   Let's focus on the reasons, and the logic, rather the people.
