Quote:RR, you clearly think that we should be able to accept somebody's testimony as evidence of something you believe.
RR has two problems. He is trying to equate statements scribbled down in old, largely anonymous or pseudoepigraphical books as "testimony." Thus he is susceptible when someone comes along and says "I have an invisible dragon in my garage" because that is as valid a statement as paul and his 500 witnesses bullshit (1 Cor 15:6).
Second, when confronted with a miracle story from another culture he suddenly gets defensive and says he has to "check it out" presumably with a level of scrutiny he would never apply to his own holy horseshit.
RR is merely indulging in Special Pleading. He is saying "my bullshit is real but not that of anyone else."
