You choose to require evidence for everything you accept. My evidence was subjective and internal. I can't expect you to use my evidence nor can I replicate it for others.
His erudite point though, Phat, is that you have no problem rejecting Islam or Scientology out of hand because there is nothing remotely substantive to even assume it let alone spend gobs and gobs of hours trying to either confirm or reject it. It's just... asinine. So is that a choice on your part to reject Islam or does it just not make a compelling argument and you move on with life?
For Tangle, Christianity just doesn't make a compelling enough argument to seriously entertain it. He might feel the same about Mithra. And Allah. Or the Vedic scriptures.
But he does, on the surface level, appear to be accurate about one thing... your agonizing over this stuff. Sometimes I wonder who you're actually trying to convince.... us... or yourself.
Looking back at my time in Christianity, I see how restless my mind was. It is utterly exhausting to be a Christian (at least one that actually attempts to live out their faith in earnest). There is no "peace" in it... just constant self-flagellation.
