Originally posted by sh76 I understand your point. But once you're an atheist, I don't see why it's even necessary to point to failings in the Bible. If you're doing it to try to show theists that it's not divinely inspired, that's another issue.
Some people only come to the forums to grind everyone's gears (obscure-phrase-of-the-day for April 9, 2016). Making a cogent argument is really secondary to that for some.

No one sweeps aside and ignores cogent arguments quite as often as you do, so sh76 would be forgiven for having you in mind, from now on, when he hears gears grinding. 😛

Originally posted by Suzianne Point all you want. I think it's clear exactly [b]who I rail against, and why.
Perhaps you'll spend as much time pointing out all your posts where you've ground the gears of those whose only crime is disagreeing with you.[/b]
I am a purveyor of cogent on-topic arguments. Always have been. And I have been having my gears ground by the likes of you, robbie carrobie, and Dasa - for exactly that reason - for years. 😉
