Guy whose posts are 99% meaningless content redefining the **** out of the word "the" in order to fit square pegs into round holes says...

"Maybe you just suck at making meaningful posts about religion."

Twilight Zone?

Perhaps. I actually addressed your OP in a definitive manner.

Once more: the fact that Christianity arises among certain people, places, and times suggests that it derives from the contingencies of history, not divinity. Right?

You've now narrowed your claim to there being an undescribed "rational aspect" to Christianity. Is there any body of thought that does not have at least some rational component?

Kindly describe the "rational aspect" of Christianity sufficiently for people to respond to.

"Once more: the fact that Christianity arises among certain people, places, and times suggests that it derives from the contingencies of history, not divinity. Right?"

I view this as a complete non sequitur. In your mind, Christianity must be represented at the exact same rate among all people groups for it to be derived from divinity?

"Kindly describe the "rational aspect" of Christianity sufficiently for people to respond to"

There is a large body of work out there, of which a lot of it I'm sure you are well aware. I already link in this thread to a list of arguments from WLC's site.

Here is WLC on the resurrection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iyxR8uE9GQ

There is also plenty of archaeological evidence supporting the truth of the Bible.

You sure are a WLC fanboy. Do you also agree with his justification of divinely commanded genocide?

Do you agree with everything Richard Dawkins says?

Yawn.

No I don't. I'll take his word on anything evolution-related. On topics such as morality and religion, not so much.

Do you think Craig engages in honest debate tactics? Do you think he accurately represents his opponents' views?

Do you realise that divine command theory is a necessary constituent of WLC's moral theory and a building block for several arguments he advances?

Yes, that's exactly what I wrote.

You aren't even trying.

I'm giving less and less credit to people's claims of belief. You don't actually care if what you believe is rationally consistent, so I'm baffled why you would claim it is.

Not true at all. Care to try and back up your assertion?

Anything starting off with less than "Bible true =>" is sure to disappoint.
