Forgeries in the NT

[Astonished]

You say that as if that's a change from how you normally interpret anything an atheist says about your silly bedtime stories. That's just your default state, RR, so why ask as though there were an alternative?

No.... not really my default state.  However with some, my suspicions are higher than others.   I normally try to look at the facts and reasons behind what is being said, not assume motives or attack the origins of the claim. It's about what they have to say, not who is saying it. And if I am misunderstanding something or do fall into rhetoric, in which I am interpreting something in a less than charitable way....just correct me; and we'll move on.

You are a goddamn fucking liar. You cannot possibly create a thread touting testimony as evidence and believe this statement to be true at the same time. That is the kind of mental gymnastics we're talking about. You have to force your mind to jump through hoops and run as fast as it can to keep this contradiction (among what have to be countless others) from catching up to you, and it's pretty fucking obvious what that is doing to your mental state. At best, you make a special pleading fallacy so you can have a special exception for your pet myth but that's not how reality fucking works. Your problem is viewing things in far too charitable of a way in your singular case (the religion test, where the same level of scrutiny is applied to other religions besides your own, would prove you're guilty of a confirmation bias, not that we needed any further proof of that after all the crap you've spewed) and dismissing everything else outright that conflicts with it. Of course you're going to be called out on your dishonesty, deliberate or otherwise, because it's still bullshit. It's not just that your claims are faulty-they are as faulty as it is possible for a claim to be.
