Because you want something more from me than I can give you.
How so???
You said that "it is logical to follow what the book says".
I asked you "why?"... now you say that you can't answer that question?
So you have no actual reason to state that it is logical to follow said book?
You just said that, without any reason?
How can it be "logical" to do a certain thing, if you can't explain/demonstrate why it is "logical" in the first place?
You are the one who engaged me in the discussion of providing you more
In response to bare assertions you made, yes.
Bare assertions are not enough for me.
I indeed need something more to sway me....
Just claiming things will get you nowhere.
I told you to seek for yourself
It appears You won’t be doing that
Why would I? YOU're the one that made the claims......
You're essentially asking me to do
your homework.
But I’m telling you what you have said that I should do I won’t be doing
I'll let you in on a little secret: I was very much aware that when I asked you for a demonstration of the accuracy of your bare assertions, that it would not be forthcoming.
We are talking about religion after all.... Beliefs for which "faith" is required. "Faith" is what you need when you don't have actual evidence, after all.
