What do invented saints tell us about Christianity?

[TimOneill]

Well all I said was that Aron Ra was not necessarily wrong, Augustine was not very clear about it, so gloating that Aron Ra is completely wrong, like you did, doesn't prove anything.

Utter garbage. He is wrong. Totally and completely wrong. Augustine was quite clear to anyone who understands the natural philosophy of the time and I even gave you two passages in which he makes it absolutely clear he understood the earth is a sphere. So your "Aron Ra" person was completely wrong and I proved this by detailed reference to the evidence. The fact that you don't understand the evidence and/or just chose to ignore it is your problem.
Now, would you like to humiliate yourself further or are we done here?

Where have I criticised anyone for "being too strident"? I don't care if they are "strident" or not - they can knock themselves out. My issue starts and ends with them mangling history, especially when simultaneously preaching at other about checking their facts, doing their homework, avoiding fringe theories and paying attention to experts. I'm not a fan of bad history or of hypocrisy.

I'm also not a fan of patent stupidity, so the twerps who claim I'm not "really" an atheist because I burst some of their silly little bubbles also get pretty short shrift from me. Unfortunately some people are just plain dumb and atheism has attracted its share of the latter.

You're only concerned about people 'mangling history' because you're upset that Napoleon was killed outside the Biograph theatre in Chicago and didn't have the chance to edit his final version of the Summa Theologica.

True. You got me.
