Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

[SteveII]

I never did get an answer from SteveII on this post, so I'll ask it again:
Christians, are you serious? Do you think there is evidence to consider outside Saul of Tarsus' head?


Get it yet?

My question was in regard to what actually counts as evidence that claims are true, as opposed to evidence of what people believe. If Joseph Smith's "evidence" doesn't convince you of Mormonism, why in the world does Saul of Tarsus' "evidence" convince you of the validity of Christian claims?

Since the answer is of interest to others...

Paul refers to events that happened to other people in public. He names them. Those people wrote stuff down too. People mentioned him in their writings. He wrote letters to people who already believed the gospel story. There is a web of details, content, timing, location, and corroboration to consider.  

Joseph Smith wrote down a bunch of things that happened only to him. No one else was there. This is actually a good comparison (for a change) to the alien abduction example atheists are so fond of.


So, the comparison is so bad as to be nonsense.
