Three people does not a jury make. [as I said to you before] That is why I don't like to use "analogies". But, it is handy...right Sasquach?
Analogies exemplify a relationship. One can criticize an analogy that purported relationship does not follow the factors given, or that it is apt to the discussion. The former describes our criticisms of your christian analogies. There is nothing wrong or inherently weak in discussing analogies, but you simply mustn't lose sight of the relationships that you are attempting to describe.
Your signature line states, "To the believer no explanation is necessary. To the unbeliever no explanation is possible."
I think this best highlights your frustration. With this comment you have forgotten that all christians were previously unbelievers who had been moved, usually by their trusted peers' propagandic comments, to believe.
We push christians to discuss what convinces them to believe in the old mid-eastern story.
If your signature line were true, there would be no christians in the first place.
