(22,711 posts)Almost as silly as believing things without a single shred of evidence. As I stated, they're free to believe whatever they want. No harm, no foul. And when that belief veers off into bizarro world, I'm equally free to point and laugh. That's how free discourse works and that's not about "winning" anything. Why you think there's something to be "won" I don't know.
So tell me....how do these unsubstantiated claims differ from the similarly evidence free claims spouted by Evangelicals? You know, talking snakes, God speaking through burning shrubbery, global floods, zombies, or that humans and dinosaurs existed together. Some are quick to discount those beliefs, yet hold others that are equally rooted in the air, i.e. no evidence. They have no problem with me pointing and laughing at Evangelicals, but goring their ox is off limits somehow? Really?
