MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Esquilax]

No. I didn't poison the well, at least not in regards to the original accuation from Stmbo, which was part of what you quoted.

It is not poisoning the well to observe someone who's skepticism appears to be dishonest, since it is not pre-emptive.

It is not poisoning the well when observations of anti-Christian bias pre-empt my comments regarding it.

It is not poisoning the well when observations of a hatred of religion pre-empt my comments regarding it.

So, essentially it's not poisoning the well if you're right, which we've already established you could not possibly be as you don't know the people you're accusing of bias.

Listen: when you imply that everyone who disagrees with you is just hateful and biased, and that the only intellectually honest position is yours, then you are poisoning the well for everyone who comes after you, in the ongoing discussion you were having. Not only that, it also taints the views of anyone coming into the discussion later: to be clear, my issue was that instead of responding with content, you opted to just proclaim anyone who didn't take your position bigoted liars. Not only is it poisoning the well, as I've explained twice now, it's also just dishonest, ineffective argumentation.
