Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
RE: Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
Generally if you want people to believe your extraordinary claims, then yes--you do need extraordinary evidence. And the bible is NOT evidence. The number of people believing it is NOT evidence. The bible is the one making the claim (and I might add nobody knows who wrote the bible. Nobody even knows anything about the people who wrote the bible, except for what they themselves wrote. Which makes it not just an extraordinary claim, but a dubious one at that. Here people are putting their trust in an unknown author of unknown origins, from which they know nothing about except what the author themselves has said about themselves.) The people believing the claim are the ones that accept it--but aren't evidence themselves.

All you're essentially saying is that you don't need extraordinary evidence for your claim, because a lot of people agree with you, and atheists can just shove it. If that's what you're saying, instead of typing a wall of text, just say "Fuck off Atheists. God is real!" You might as well. It'll be just as convincing, and more honest than the bullshit of trying to spin logic in such a way logic is not meant to be spun.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
