Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Well, if that was the goal, there are easier and far less batshit ways to do so.  In my experience with christians, -those- ways shut down objections whole cloth and engender respect, understanding, and friendship.

Maybe not so much you, Thump and Whateverist but look at the response SteveII, Roadrunner79 and I get from the likes of Mimimilist, Tazzycorn, Tiz, and Astonshing. Now if we came at you like Lil'Rick and Huggy, then maybe I could see your point. But it seems to me that even if you find our arguments weak and evidence lacking we are at least trying to have a reasonable conversation.

Frankly, I don't consider many of our forum apologists particularly christian.  I'd give them their own schismatic designations.  We've got GC-ists, RR-ists, Steve-ists, and Neo-ists, Drich-ists etc....round hur.

Maybe, just maybe, you're looking for a degree of doctrinal purity that isn't realistic or important.

They each have their own favorite soda pop, too.

I wonder what is the one true biblical soda pop anyway?

Moxie...because small is the gate and narrow the road :-)

Coke is the premier soda pop like the Roman Catholics.
Pepsi is for all the Protestants, except Southern Baptists. They drink RC. (funny because you would think Catholics would drink RC, right?)
Dr. Pepper and Fresca are like Mormons and Jehovah witnesses, definite heretics.
