I can do a find/replace on every post and substitute 'information' for 'evidence' and it would no nothing to my point. People rationally believe things every second of every day based on testimonial information. It does not impact the topic of the OP: Is it necessary to engage in special pleading to believe Christianity is true --especially as it related to other religions -- but you can expand it to historical criticism if you like.
People believe crystals can heal them based on personal testimony (bullshit information is still information). Who gives a shit? It doesn't mean they are correct. Stories only tell us what you believe, not that what you believe is valid or true or meaningful. You assert otherwise, so back up your claims or acknowledge your logically fallacious bullshit and admit you don't believe for any logical or valid or evidence-based reason.
Or don't and just keep preaching the same drivel as if you are anything other than a simpleton who has been indoctrinated into a cult
