Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

No, if you accept someones testimony as fact, then you've accepted someones testimony as fact.  I could have sworn we'd discussed this before.....everyone accepts their religions religious testimony...thats a job requirement for being in that religion. That doesn't mean that, by sheer acceptance of the stories people tell, they all have evidence to support their conclusions.

That somebody somewhere believes in something is not evidence of that something. You don't believe that it is any more than I do - no matter what lies you feel compelled to float for christ, and you cannot possibly be applying this ridiculous assertion equally.

Quote:Notice none of these steps are considered proof.
It isn't evidence, either, regardless of whether or not you consider it as such.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
