I actually have no doubt that Muhammad saw what he said he saw.
I already stated my many indicia of NT reliability in another post. Not sure who it was to, but it's out there.
I stated why I believe the reliability of the NT. if you want to change my mind I need something other than skepticism.
Skepticism just isn't compelling.
I don't care if you change your mind. I didn't sign into to a christian forum claiming that the christians there were wrong.
If you'd like to change my mind about god(s) existing produce something more than story that is only backed up by more story, something more than abstractions. Give me evidence that I will accept as evidence for these "fantastical things". Until that happens, for me, I will dismiss the fantastical things and hold that god does not exist as anything more than a mental construct.
You can believe in god(s) existence and religion all you want, as an atheist I don't really care. I don't need it (I'm not sure why you do) and I won't validate it.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
