I gave you 4 links.You couldn't do it, could you. You couldn't even post a single piece of Scripture to validate your claim. Sad!

It seems obvious you didn't click on any of the links.This is virtually the same tactic Jan tried. 'Find em yourself'.
If the pick is left to the skeptic, the apologist can always say 'well that's a lousy example', thus continuing to dodge commitment.
I suspect that Jan/Musika do not want to pick their favorite claim and then defend it as an exemplar of excellent evidence. It would put their personal credibility squarely on the line. It would become a direct critique of their beliefs, rather than an academic discussion of hypotheticals.
Musika: have the courage of your convictions: pick one - your favorite. Then we are all discussing the same thing.
You really are a bing bat sometimes☺It seems obvious you didn't click on any of the links.
OK, let me try this again. Because victimized altar boys tend to be sincere believers, Biblically literate, and have a strong moral case for God's will to be revealed. Can you think of a better case? Because the church's authority is highly suspect when it practices immoral behavior. There is no religious authority without morality.Because altar boys represent the highest epistemological authority in the church?
He's a sock of Jan.You really are a bing bat sometimes☺Alex
No no I can not believe that at all.He's a sock of Jan.

It's more the case of when one asks obvious q's they get directed to google.He's a sock of Jan.
When screws are put to thumbs, he implores us to "use Google".
Their victimization undermines the church's moral authority. As we see now in Ireland.What is their strong moral case for God's will?

Its strange that you would deem the notion of extracting prescriptive descriptions from scripture/religious teachings a controversial argument."Asking the obvious". You have just begged the question - pretending the claim that you are in the process making has already been made. A logical fallacy.
Another part of Jan's inimitable style.
Either Musika is a sock of Jan, or no theist can/has come forth with any argument better than "Google it".
You wonder why we're skeptical about theistic claims? They offer snake oil.
Keep evading.Its strange that you would deem the notion of extracting prescriptive descriptions from scripture/religious teachings a controversial argument.
There is no evasion. Google is quite accessible and just the thing to bring off-kilter views in to perspective. I even took the liberty of providing you four links from four different religious traditions (which you obviously didn't look at).Keep evading.
You do not have the courage of your beliefs.
Keep evading.
I'm not talking with Google; I'm talking with you. You had the chance to give us specific, discrete examples, not pages of stuff that you can spend a hundred more posts deflecting line-by-line.There is no evasion.

Do you honestly believe what you are saying here☺There is no evasion.
If you can't understand the general principle, what is the point of getting in to specifics? .... especially if you are as you say you are, and are not into trawling mindlessly for pages.I'm not talking with Google; I'm talking with you. You had the chance to give us specific, discrete examples, not pages of stuff that you can spend a hundred more posts deflecting line-by-line.
You are telling us your considered view is no more wise or thoughtful than a software search engine.
If Google is your authority figure - your god - then so be it.
In the real world, a valid argument is not produced by googling for five seconds and posting the first things you see. It is produced by actually making an argument, with backing facts.I gave you 4 links.
It depends entirely on what the argument was in response to.In the real world, a valid argument is not produced by googling for five seconds and posting the first things you see. It is produced by actually making an argument, with backing facts.
It is pathetic that you are completely unable to do that.
No wonder theists are in severe decline.
