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

It was pretty dumb to put it forth. If atheists already accept it as evidence, then why would we be atheists? 

The only thing I can think of is that it is irrelevant if we accept his central claim or not. Because he isn't here to discuss or debate it, he is here to preach it. And if we reject it, then at least he can pretend he is a "good" christian out there trying to lazily convert the heathens to the light. Except he probably doesn't realize that lazily and dishonestly evangelizing for Jesus, is doing him no favors within his own theology and religion. He is supposed to be a good messenger for Christ, but he is only being an insulting and belittling prick. He is being lazy for Jesus. He is being dishonest for Jesus. He is being an average "Christian" for Jesus.
