Calzaer, I'll give you once last exchange—unless you actually begin to engage the task of textual criticism.

You wrote: "[blah, blah, blah,] . . . before trying to recruit?"

Er, I am not trying to recruit on this forum. I sincerely assure the reader that that is not my intent (the internet is the last place for such a thing). Once again, my concern is about what the text promulgates (from a scholarly perspective), and compare, challenge, and take to task those readings that are textually unwarranted so that, at the very least, the aspiring atheist will fault Xianity on more solid ground.

And again: "I have no more reason to believe you than anyone else on this subject."

If I thought credentials would persuade, I would exfoliate. But as it is, you are a waste of time.

How much more effort would it have take to "exfoliate" than it took to post insults?

I'll ask it this way: If you can't even convince your own people, what is supposed to convince us?
