19 Feb 96 14:20, quoting Kenneth Mcabee to Elliott Finesse:
KM> That's one of the points I've been trying to make. I might not be

KM> Bible as evidence)
Why should he? Real evidence points to a conclusion, regardless of the
attitudes or beliefs of those viewing the evidence. The bible is merely
a written work that includes the history and the history of the religion
of some primitive animal herders in the middle east. Do you consider
Bullfinch's Mythology to be evidence of the existence of Zeus?

[Egad, not this again]

You have no reason to stop believing in the Easter Bunny either, do
you?
KM> and yes, I understand that you,
KM> without evidence, have no reason to start believing in him. I also
KM> believe that unless you believe the Bible, that you cannot believe at

This is circular reasoning. Why don't you believe in The Cosmic Star
Goat?
The Cosmic Star Goat (The one and only True God) sent his son, Billy, to
die on the Wholly B-B-Q Pit for our sins. If you do not BELIEVE in Billy,
you will be eaten on Judgment Day by The Cosmic Star Goat, to stew in the
Wholly Bile for all of eternity.
You can avoid this eternity of punishment by being bathed in the Wholly
Piss of The Cosmic Star Goat and having all of your SINS washed away.
This Cosmic TRUTH is based on faith which is my EVIDENCE of the existence
of the Cosmic Star Goat and his son, Billy. This FAITH is EVIDENCE for me
but not for you, since you must first BELIEVE in The Cosmic Star Goat for
the EVIDENCE to be revealed to you.
Since you cannot PROVE that The Cosmic Star Goat does not exist, you must
consider the possibility that she does exist, and therefore The Cosmic
Star Goat does exist for all who will BELIEVE in hir.
BELIEF does impact EXISTENCE and all you have to do is to BELIEVE in The
Cosmic Star Goat and she will exist.
Does this sound familar?
KM> Once you start
KM> believing the scriptures, then you might find other evidence as well,
The defense rests.
