TT
TF
FT
FF
I was just pointing out that you skipped FT. If there's a dodge attempt going on, it's by you, although I rather think you were just sloppy.
If you had no problem then there shouldn't be an addition of God D when there was no confusion in the first place with asking you to differentiate between two gods in an example where you can't add variables to help you avoid the challenge, derp. I didn't skip anything. You ducked the challenge like every other theist in here. Tell us what is FT anyway. Be more vague next time.

And for good reason, because it's bunk.

Your standard of evidence is gullible at best. Especially since you think a god has been proven to some demonstrable degree. Absurd.

Other way around, champ. Plus, you dishonestly tried to claim my challenge is flawed because you can't answer it.

You likely think mine are special pleading because I accept some religious documents, but reject other ones (although I've gone into differences of evidence for various religions and beliefs in the past.
You accept some religious documents. Key word is some. And that opens up another can of worms. Why would someone accept one religions documents over any another religions documents. Don't try and pretend your religion has more of that or has more credibility. All the claims in the world from manuscripts wouldn't make your religion or those claims true. Religious documents have extraordinary claims, and historical claims that are more closely tied to tangible reality get more favor, sorry.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
