Religious Background

[SteveII]

Sorry. I thought we were having a discussion. Like what often happens, this discussion does not seem to be able to move from vague generalities to a detailed discussion. In my experience here, that usually means I got through the inch in the mile wide, inch deep knowledge of the other person. I certainly may be wrong, but that is my experience here.

In my experience here, that usually means I got through the inch in the mile wide, inch deep knowledge of the other person.

My knowledge of the issues surrounding the Bible and the paucity of evidence for its claims isn't "an inch deep." It isn't a discussion when you're trying throw about insults.

The point of this thread is for people to give a glimpse into their religious background. I did so and you took issue with my experience and either don't understand the points I have made, or don't care because you want to try and score some sort of points or victory via semantics. The problem is that when you've tried to do so, you've mischaracterized my argument into a straw man while simultaneously accusing me of special pleading (a term you use incorrectly). 

You should spend less time trying to insult and incorrectly define logical fallacies.

What exactly is your goal in questioning my background and religious experience? Do you think that I would suddenly go back to Christianity if you could find that one theological argument that's just right?

Your original post made claims that didn't make a lot of sense (have to either take everything in the Bible literal or otherwise it was up to individual interpretation). As I explained several posts ago, that is too simplistic. 

You threw in there somewhere along the way that there was no evidence. Since there is, I was correcting you.
