Well, there it is, folks. A refreshing piece of honesty. Atheists have no interest in evidence that does not already confirm their opinions.

Not true. Already answered here: https://atheistforums.org/thread-50195-p...pid1594726

How was that in any capacity a comprehensive and thoughtful answer to the question Simon posed to you?! You [edit] barely made reference to other religious texts; let alone made an attempt to discuss each individually as quality of evidence compared to yours. No. You did NOT sufficiently answer the question, and it's an important one because Steve's entire argument rests upon it. Try again, before you start taking pigeon victory laps.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
