Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?
RE: Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

The fact is that the testimony exists. Whether the claims of the testimony are facts is a whole different question not related to special pleading.

It's not as if every religious nutball somewhere is strongly of the opinion that his religion is true or anything.   Rolleyes

As usual, you mischaracterized my statements on purpose. I said that what the facts conclude is a matter of opinion.
