In order to meaningfully participate in discussions here, one should be able to support one's claim with evidence.

Therefore I don't feel thratened in these discussions, because I can distinguish between the lie and the truth.
An alleged ability to distinguish between "the lie and the truth" is of less relevance here than an ability to support that differentiation with evidence and rational arguments.

Are those the only options? Is every statement either a lie or a truth? Do you believe nobody is ever just mistaken?

Like Jesus said, if you can make money by giving giving it to the poor, you will have no problem getting your bloody camel stitch through the kingdom of heaven... ...something to that effect, anyhow

I don't know if this is some sort of humor, but pointing out that scholarship is not defined by starting with the a priori conclusion that the bible is inerrant, is hardly sniping.
