Because you have to demonstrate HOW you know something in order for me to believe you, otherwise you're just making shit up or going alone with shit someone else made up.
What if I'm not interested in causing a person to believe who is so obviously self-sufficient in his belief? Jesus said the healthy do not need a doctor.
Interestingly I don't insist the same rule back to you, namely that you are under duty to demonstrate to me how you know something before I believe you. If I did your argument and system would collapse. To protect against this collapse, the golden rule or categorical imperative that we should not impose structures on others we are not willing to accept for ourselves is widely recognized by many atheists as a guide of life.
If you don't care what I believe or what I don't believe, then it should be no problem that I'm an atheist.
"No problem" means "it's not my problem".
You started with a reasonable question and I indicated how reasonable people can come to agreed interpretations of unclear ancient texts. You then flag-waved your atheism and your standards of belief, and I pointed out the core issue necessary to determine their consistency or inconsistency, and linked you a number of compelling, falsifiable evidences. I've said my peace each time. Should your apathy be my problem? Perhaps you've hung out with Christians who believe their righteousness in part depends on convincing you of something?
Either you pursue truth in its spirit, or you aren't as interested in truth as you profess. Since you don't even seem interested in c/Atheist, but you do seem interested in snap botlike answers, which should I conclude?
Interestingly enough, that's the same way I feel about you wasting your life being in love with a fairy tale.
It's not my problem.
Talking about areas where people do agree is avoiding the question which was about the areas where they don't agree.
The question was is it a problem for the "bible only" approach to Christianity when people disagree on interpretations, or is it okay if every Christian has their own personalized version of it?
Was it buried somewhere in your 50 page comments? If you have even 1 single testable claim that would verify ANY aspect of Christianity, tell me what it is and how to test it?
Do you see any contradiction in claiming to pursue truth and then citing as a source of information a book full of appeals to the supernatural, and untestable claims?
No of course you don't. If you could spot contradictions you would notice the bible is full of them and realize it's a bad source of information.
I see my comment at https://scored.co/c/Conspiracies/p/1994owaTre/oof-salty-loser-spamming-is-not-/c/4ZDugTT19UX had its link helpfully broken by the platform when it intended to point to https://communities.win/c/Atheist/p/141reluACp/-burden-of-proof-is-on-the-one-m/c/4OUfR2Rkd1Q which starts with:
If nothing exists, nothing can be proven (Provine).
Things exist (Descartes).
Things are measurable (Democritus).
A greatest thing can be detected, defined according to its measurability (Adler).
Is it testable to you, via observation of things, that something that exists is measurably the greatest?
I don't cite the Bible as a source to you when you don't accept it; rather, I pointed out (also in that link) that when you pursue truth you naturally consider all the candidates and in this the Bible commends itself. Comparing it to other theories of everything, all of which have untestable claims and unknown laws of nature and alleged contradictions, it excels. But for you to see that you'd need to start with the basics such as whether some greatest thing exists.
Correct! A book can only be a communication about the unknown or unknowable, not the thing itself. Now we're making progress. Do you recognize that the universe contains the unknown and/or unknowable? Does this give you any pause when you criticize others for saying so? If you only criticize me for saying I know something, well, we can test the things I think I know, one proposition at a time (above).
Excuse me... Where is the testable proposition that confirms Christianity?
Thanks!
I don't understand your word salad here....
Please give me a test that confirms Christianity. Thanks.
But it is in fact YOUR source, is it not? You're just afraid to admit it because you know it's stupid.
You are claiming to know the answer though... GAWD did it.... That's the answer... That's where the universe came from.
So since you are claiming to know, I don't accept your appeal to the unknown as supporting evidence.
