Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid

[JaggedEdge]

but to each there own and to john kerry i mean jaggededge just because you found a source that makes you change your mind instantaniously and do not stand behind your convictions does not mean I am the same way.

Hmmm... I will have fun with this one.

because you found a source that makes you change your mind instantaniously and do not stand behind your convictions does not mean I am the same way.

This is the huge problem with believers, most of them don't do independent research and look at other possible explanations because they "want to stand behind their convictions." Honestly, when most believers actually start thinking for themselves and doing a little research, they tend to cross over to the dark side. Thats what happened to me. I grew up Catholic, started questioning my faith, researched the subject in great detail, and came to the conclusions I have. Perhaps, you should look at other ideas and open your mind to new possibilities rather than simply being firm in your "convictions."

Secondly, all I did was do a little research on the subject and concluded that Fallen is not ignorant for questioning whether Jesus actually existed. I never once said I agreed with him, I simply conceded it was a reasonable question.

Unlike you, I'm keep my mind open to new ideas and different ways of thinking. It doesn't make me wishy washy, it simply makes me open minded.

Also, why are you so reluctant to show Fallen the sources he has been asking for?

Finally, you have a serious problem with name calling. Calling me John Kerry... you are the one showing ignorance here, not Fallen. For future reference, if that was meant as a joke, use a smiley.

Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid A lot of people justify their belief in a certain religion by claiming that there is basically no difference between believing in religious texts and believing in commonly accepted historical texts. They'll say something like, "What's the difference between believing in the Bible and believing all the written accounts of the Civil War, for example? You choose to believe those accounts, even though you weren't actually there, just like I choose to believe in the Bible even though I wasn't Rating: 5
