In what way is a soul hereditary, and if it is, whats the marker for that, where's the hook? You've claimed that such a hook and such a mechanism for heredity exists. That means that soul is material, demonstrable, and absolutely falsifiable. You just gave "soul" to science, IOW. You didn't reconcile the "narratives", you deferred authority to the narrative you wish to oppose. Gratz. You've also made the Flood demonstrable and falsifiable. Point to the bottleneck (those have places in time...so the flood can be dated) and perhaps explain why we are not all the children of a single father, today...from that day forward? Which groups of us have the soul gene you're certainly going to demonstrate (  ) and where are they...so we can see some non-negotiable, inarguable hereditary soul? How did the other groups survive this flood?
Pretty sure that wasn't your intention, you were probably looking for ways to excuse your fantasies from criticism, not hand them over to the enemy. Care to make a modification?
(also, when you shoot off this conversation to the next person you want to aggrandize yourself to, are these answers going to be contained therein? care to cc us on that?)

That is a good point.

I can't. There's nothing to support it; it's a bunch of outdated nonsense.
Has God been talking to you, Drich? If so, I have bad news...
If God did not 'contact' us as promise then why do so many of us remain?

Argument from numbers.
If Buddhism is untrue, why are there so many Buddhists?
If Islam is untrue, why are there so many Muslims?
If Hinduism is untrue, why are there so many Hindus?
And so on.

Without making clear that any alterations are not the original author's own. Don't play Mod, Drich, you're no better at it than you are xtian.
If you did not see an alteration then maybe you should look a little closer.

Argument from popularity. Another logical fallacy. The truth of a belief in no way depends on the number of people holding that belief.

Are you really this stupid?

Do theists just not care that they use logical fallacies over and over? They either don't know or don't care. And regulars here ought to know what they are by now.

I'm pretty sure they don't know. They literally cannot know. The cognitive dissonance involved in acknowledging logical fallacies while simultaneously depending on them as the foundation of your worldview is simply too great.

Nothing Drich spouts off here is, in any way, a foundation for his worldview. This is theater, lying for christ, pure and simple bullshittery. It didn't and doesn't compel him to belief (and if he ever opened a book and learned otherwise his belief would not vanish as a result). It's ad hoc trash.
