There is no such thing as the specific Gospel message. If there was there would only be one Gospel instead of four. None of the four Gospel
writers actually knew Jesus and they were written twenty to eighty years after his death. None of them is therefore primary source material
The Gospel of Matthew is actually plagiarised from the Gospel of Mark which should automatically invalidate its inclusion in the New Testament yet it is there
The one Gospel that was primary source material was the Gospel of Mary Magdalene who was a cousin of Jesus but it was omitted because she was a woman
Furthermore the Gospel message was not love because Jesus very specifically stated that he came not to bring peace but a sword
There is no way this can be interpreted metaphorically since it is so obvious that to suggest it is metaphor would be simply wrong
Also there are different versions of the Bible with specific verses either included or omitted that do not appear in other versions of the Bible
And if the Bible is the word of God it should all be accepted without question. This would include both Old and New Testaments not just the
Gospels regardless of what the OT actually says. To therefore not include it and deliberately so is simply cherry picking of the highest order
You're highly sophisticated objections will fit right in with a certain group at AF. Unfortunately, I am picky with whom I respond to. Sorry.

So the fuck what? What you call the "intuition of the supernatural" is what gave humanity belief in superstition, witchcraft, healing crystals, gods and all manner of completely stupid shit. So, unless you wish to argue that it's "evidence" for all those other wacky, bullshit beliefs, you don't get to argue it as evidence for your particular wacky, bullshit belief.
THIS WAS NEVER my argument. I keep getting sucked into stupid logic and conflating terms and then my answers are taken out of context three and four deep! THIS is my argument.
