How to tell a real freethinker

That depends on what the goalposts you originally had were: Are you trying to argue that Jesus was the son of god, or that he was a good person? Only if you were strictly trying to prove the latter would my argument be moving the goalposts, and frankly, I'd be mystified if you were only trying to argue that point to begin with.

Quote:Do those include a contiuous rejection of God's commands, his prophets, his Son and his Son's teachings by all but a few people?

Depends: can you prove that your special brand of christianity is correct, and all the other denominations, and all the other religions, are wrong?

Quote:That is a major logical error too, called "False in one part, therefore false in all." If half of one single book is true, your faulty "logic" would never permit you to know which part is true. May you never sit on a jury either. Smile

Think of it this way: if something is truly divinely inspired, it shouldn't have any falsities in it, should it?

And let's extend this jury thing: should I as a juror take a witness seriously if he's proven to have lied under oath over and over and never retracted or corrected a single word of those falsehoods?
