Do you need a road map?
Jason claims his personal experiences make Christianity true.
Abdul claims his personal experiences make Islam true.
Apostases claims his personal experiences make Paganism true.
Mahatma claims his personal experiences make Hinduism true.
Hirohito claims his personal experiences make Shintoism true.
Now, reply to this message. Place an x in front of each statement
that indicates your belief that the religion in question is false.
Place a "z" in front of the one true religion.
You must support your answer by providing a logical argument that
demonstrates how the personal experiences of the "true" religion
you picked makes it true while similtaneously explaining how
the same argument must not be applied to the other religions.
POOBAH
This is the point at which just about every theist shuts up. I have never
seen anyone attempt a defense of the "personal experience as evidence"
claim.
I'll predict we'll never see an answer from Shawn or Jason to this point. To
hedge my bet I will add that if we do, the argument will beg the question of
Biblical errancy.
