I should have realized engaging with you was pointless.

About as pointless as defending any idea that lacks evidence, such as God.

Do you think I am defending the belief in a god?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was giving an example of another thing that is militantly defended without evidence. Also looks like I was right when I said before

I see. Can you please show me in the 7 undisputed Pauline letters where Paul says that Jesus Christ was Baptized by John the Baptist. Also the Gospel of Thomas if you feel up for it. Please remember that you said “all”. Watch as this quitely doesn’t get mentioned again.

You can demand whatever you like, that doesn't mean that it is relevant to the discussion or that I have to entertain your gish galloping. I called you out on it before.

I made the mistake of bringing up superfluous points as well. You might not think they are spurious, but that's the problem. You don't, and continue to fale to engage in the discussion of historical research.

I thought, and still do, that you are earnest in your position. I'm not convinced that you are sealioning on purpose... Just misguided. I still think it's a mistake to engage with you but you are infuriating. Which does make me think you are sealioning on purpose.

Can you show me where I demanded anything? I noted that you made a claim, the claim isn't supported, and this won't get mentioned again.

No, because you won't agree to the rules of the game. This is the same bullshit that idiots like Ben Shapiro pull.

How about you show me that reference in the 7 undisputed Pauline letters that mentions Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist (given you said this exists in all the secondary accounts) and a single piece of contemporary evidence for the existence of Jesus, instead of being upset that I am not playing your game well. Isn't it better to be right than being the better debater? Why not deal with the argument instead of the person making it? You do I trust have the evidence on your side and don't need to use personal attacks to make your point for you.
