While most of us find their conclusions unconvincing, for the vast majority of the time, they argue honestly, address the refutations of their points, and construct reasonable syllogisms. You are dishonest (maybe unintentionally) in your arguments. You flat out assert that nothing will change your mind. You lack even the most basic knowledge of what we bring up, and you lack the most basic knowledge of the evidence you claim supports you. You ignore points that we raise, and when challenged on your blatantly false assertions (remember that time you claimed there were 24000 manuscripts that were contemporary to the life of Jesus and proved the New Testament?), you literally just act like it never happened.
I addressed the point about the 24000 thing I am willing to believe I made a mistake.
Only when I pressed you hard on it, which revealed that you were literally only accepting that claim on face value with no intellectual investigation at all when the blatant falsity was bare to see. Not to mention immediately after that you keep going on making baseless assertions and reassuring us that nothing with ever change your mind.
