Gotta agree with you on this . . . and I'm a Trinitarian!
One of the things I’ve noticed about debate, in general, is people’s unwillingness to:
- Admit weakness in own argument
- Admit strength in opposite argument.
One can still be correct, true or more likely correct AND acknowledge these 2 things. Someone with a legal background pointed out that most cases are decided based on circumstantial evidence.
I think we have to admit the reason people don’t do these 2 things is rooted in a combination of ego and lack of intellectual honesty.
The 163 reasons in the thread title are not equally strong reasons. In another thread, I provided the 3 most powerful arguments against and offered the proponent to offer the 3 best arguments in favor. He declined.
Politics acts based on majority not truth or logic. A thousand so-called reasons for (guilt) cannot over come one actual reason the proposition is false. This is why science no longer uses the terms “law” as in laws of physics; they keep finding conditions which the so called law does not apply.
Not being valid in all circumstances does not mean being invalid in every circumstance. We have to remember that. The book is correct, entitled “
Jesus is not God with a capital-G.”
