Then why do I only seem to read rehashed creationist / apologetic nonsense from you?



It's not.
You're the one making the claims.



Rules, like "logic" and stuff.
Yeah, who cares about that, right....

It's only "logic" after all.
It’s logical to do what the BOOK says and that’s what I’m doing

The short of it:

I’m walking on....

What did I just say about the burden of proof?

Apparantly, that you don't care about engaging in logical fallacies concerning that burden.

Did I think that I was the first Christian you ever talked to? Why would I think that and where did you get that idea in this discussion that I would have thought that?

You asked if I have ever heared about what is written in the book.
I replied by saying that I've read it twice in full and that I've conversed with plenty of christians who further preached it to me again.

Then you’ll understand what I paraphrased when I said:

Because the peace has left me here in this discussion so I am doing what HE said:

I’m walking on...

That's not an answer to the question.
Not sure what it is in response to, but certainly not the question I asked.

Again: why?

Because you want something more from me than I can give you.

You are the one who engaged me in the discussion of providing you more

I told you to seek for yourself

It appears You won’t be doing that

But I’m telling you what you have said that I should do I won’t be doing


Instead

I’m walking on just as Matthew 10 directs HIS WITNESSES to do

Ignorance?

Who does that better describe sir?

Ignorance of he fact that shifting the burden of proof is a logical fallacy.
You seem to not mind to employ logical fallacies to make your point. You even proudly state to be shifting the burden of proof and you're quite happy about it.

Ignorance is bliss....

You should work on what is in your own heart and mind instead of implying to know someone else’s

That also is in The BOOK

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.

Oh boy!!!
LOL

I give up

Read Matthew 10

Maybe it will make sense what I ACTUALLY did say

Off course you give up.
The alternative would be actually demonstrating the accuracy of your claims....

Read Matthew 10

No amount of biblical writings will be valid evidence in support of biblical writings.

You have no idea how much you misinterpreted what I said and how we are going around in circles saying the same thing over and over

I’m walking on sir
Pair that to Mathew 10:14
I’m following exactly what HE said to do
“Walk on” and go elsewhere


Just not here

You said I’m not the first Christian and I’m sure and it’s a certainty that I won’t be the last

You can tell them that the must and they should and they have to give you what you want

You don't "have to" do anything. Nobody is forcing you to reply.

If you are going to make bare claims, there are going to be people asking for justification of those claims. Up to you what you do with that request.

If your choice is to do nothing with that request, I'll certainly respect that.
I'll also be "walking on" with the idea that you have no proper justification for your claims and as a result that I am justified in not accepting them.
