Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

[TheBeardedDude]

"For the sake of the argument, let's assume The Bible is evidence.  Therefore: no special pleading," is one of the laziest arguments I have seen put forth by an apologist on these forums in two years.  Why did he think that we were simply going to grant him that assumption, unchallenged?

I believe that his assumption he asked for was that testimony was evidence.  And given the nature of the topic, about special pleading, I don't think that assuming his views on testimony is unreasonable in this circumstance.

The statement is demonstrably false in this thread for the majority of respondents. Steve got his feelings hurt when he contradicted himself in his very own thread, he literally engages in special pleading for Christianity while simultaneously claiming he isn't. I guess he didn't like having that called out, probably because his interests center around preaching and not conversation/debate. Steve (and RR too) presume that they have a lot to teach us, but nothing to learn. So they presume that they will do just that, teach us. Except what they have to teach is erroneous, demonstrably false, and unwanted. You can't teach bullshit to people who know bullshit when they smell it.

I can speak for myself thanks!  And I find your assumptions to be incorrect (at least as far as I am concerned).

Also, I am still curious where this special pleading is supposed to have occurred?

"I can speak for myself thanks! "

And I can give my insight and opinions. That is what a forum is for after all.

"And I find your assumptions to be incorrect (at least as far as I am concerned)."

And I call "bullshit."

"Also, I am still curious where this special pleading is supposed to have occurred?"

Accepting Christian "evidence" as indicating that Christianity is true, but not accepting comparable "evidence" for other religions to demonstrate that they are true and Christianity is false, is but one example from this thread. 

If you can indeed speak for yourself, it would also be wise for you to read the thread (asking that question either means you haven't, or you are woefully lacking in your understanding of what constitutes special pleading)
