I don't know why you and Arch are so hung up on if two or more people sound alike. The only guess I can make for your motive is that the site rules advise us not to pretend to be someone else, and maybe you're wanting to make sure that I don't break any rules. Who knows, maybe a moderator would ban me for a while as a punishment or a warning. For this reason, I appreciate your bringing this to my attention.Are you "anonymous person"? I do seem to get these two accounts mixed up.
A while back, some publicly claimed in a thread that I was quoting without referencing. They were correct. Frankly, I just didn't want to clutter up my responses with all of those references. At the time, I did not realize I was breaking any rules. However, when that was pointed out to me, I stopped immediately. From then on, I have been very careful to include references.
Now you and Arch appear to be very interested in the fact that sometimes people sound very much alike. I guess you're just looking out for my interest, and I very much appreciate that!! But just because two or more people end up quoting a lot of the same quotes, that does not prove that they are all the same person. The explanation is simple. There are some very popular apologists who have done well in selling books, podcasts, and so forth. So, the more the public is saturated with the most popular content in this genre, the more likely two or more people are going to say similar things...even more so (in an internet forum) if those apologists have popular websites.
I say all that because I want the moderators to be assured that I am not misrepresenting myself. You've also asked me before if I was related in any way (financially or personally) to any of the organizations' websites that I might quote from. The answer is no. Actually, I'm a big fan of several various apologists: Craig, Lennox (he's awesome!), Copan, Geisler, Habermas, and some others. But as I pointed out above, some have been more prolific at publishing apologetic material than others, so the odds of two people quoting the same material (in an internet form with only a few clicks away from popular websites) is higher for those apologists.
In summary, I am not going by any other name on this website. I am not misrepresenting myself. The only name I am using on this website is Joshua260. Further, I have absolutely no affiliation with any organization I may quote from. You and Arch may find that I sound like other posters, but that is only a coincidence. But again, thanks for pointing that coincidence out to me. I appreciate it.
