Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[KevinM1]

It's amazing to me that Steve thinks every single Christian has come to it after rigorous investigation of it. Most people were born into it, with their entire support system having something to do with it. Others convert when they're emotionally vulnerable (recovering from addiction, after suffering a loss, etc.). Still others do it as a form of protest (Muslims converting, people in China converting, etc.). And there are still people forced into it by the promise of violence (see: the various shit holes in Africa).

So, not only is an appeal to popularity fallacious in and of itself (popularity has never been synonymous with truth), the notion that all, or even most, Christians arrived at their faith after serious investigation into it is equally fallacious, and laughable to boot.

I just don't get why you stubbornly stick with that. It's not doing you or your arguments any favors.
