Of course, with regards to apologetics, they are allowing everyone else a tool, say, reason, or sense experience, but demanding all of theology as their own tool. That is a false analogy.
Where do they say this? Who is your source for this? Bart Ehrman again? lol
Quote: It is also begging the question, as it presupposes the truth of christian theism in order to prove christian theism. You're the logic monkey, you should already be aware of this.
Glad you explained because I would have never known what you were trying to get at here because it's a total misrepresentation. They don't use Christian theism to prove Christian theism; they use negation, the impossibility of the contrary to prove Christian theism, which is not circular at all.
