The statement, 'witness testimony is inherently unreliable as a form of evidence,' is well supported. Go ahead. Ask me for some evidence. It's literally everywhere. You'd have to be living under a rock, or in a fantasy world to try and dispute it.
Secondly, you're pitching more straw by assuming I care that much about objecting to Christianity. If you bothered to get to know me as a person, you'd have noticed by now I'm one of the few atheists around here who would actually be pleased to find out a god exists. Godlessness is is not my preferred position. But until even a tiny shred of convincing evidence arises, it's where I stand.
Would have said the same (my bolded) some time ago. Now I neither expect it nor would welcome it, leastwise not if this is some sniveling, worship seeking god eager to reward or punish us we're talking about, who at all approximates the biblical version. Think this calls for a poll though to see just how prevalent that sentiment is here.
I don't know. Maybe I more than a bit jaded from my time on AF. While you may sincerely hope to be convinced, I see far too many atheists claiming to be open to evidence but I doubt that they are expressing a genuine sentiment. Given the insults and ridicule L4C hurled my way when she first joined, I find it difficult to believe she would accept any evidence at all.
