Correct. And, the claims in the Bible are alleged testimony, are they not? Keep up, will ya?
Quote: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.
Congratulations! You think something. Maybe some day you'll support it with evidence and reason, seeing as you haven't accomplished that yet after four threads on witness testimony.
The reason, is that if you are accusing him of special pleading, then it is not unreasonable to evaluate that, in light of his views. If it isn't agreed upon for the standard or principle, then there may be a disagreement, but special pleading doesn't necessarily apply. That is because special pleading is in regards to the standard that the subject is applying, and then being inconsistent on it in another instance without justification. At least in one context, the reasoning must be faulty.
And your denial of myself giving reasons in my thread on testimony is making me understand more, why you think your perception of reality is not reliable as evidence for reality. You may disagree, but it doesn't mean that reason wasn't given. Your just either being dishonest or delusional.
