Second, if we were comparing miracle claims of two religions, I'm sure you would not see any difference in them. However, the question wasn't posed to you, nor was it a challenge to theists to convince atheists. The question was to theists, and asked how they differentiate evidence for their god from others.
Quote:I wish we were "done with islam"....and a whole host of other religions as well.We'll see. Again, pose specifics, and when I'm done with Islam (or seem to be) I'll address it.Nevertheless, if we're going to hang our hat on claims of miracles that would lend as much support to a whole host of other gods as it would to the one you feel comfortable with, would it not?
