Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

But it is apparent to us that you are easily convinced of what you want to be true.

We atheists call people like you "shitheads."

This year, in the United States and other Western countries with public education, there are people convinced that the world is flat.

People being convinced that a magic Jew existed in a time where the world powers believed in entire pantheons of gods, many of them changing shape and walking among humans, even sleeping with them and creating demigods, isn't really the indication of truthiness that Steve thinks it is.

Humans are convinced of incorrect/false things all the fucking time. Human conviction has never been a measurement of truth. If it was, suicide bombers would be paragons.
