Atheos Begging the Question

The conclusion is in the premises. ('The Bible is true because it says so in the Bible.')

Are you familiar with the current argument among people that study the New Testament that Jesus may have never even existed?

Correct me if wrong, but are you saying, 'God is real because the book God wrote says so.'?

Sounds like circular reasoning to me. Would you agree?

I'm a bit skeptical. Could you help me understand how you came to believe this really is for certain?

Select an ideal response for:

You live in a backwards culture then.

Does cultural belief make it true? Many Western cultures believed in the rightness of slavery for centuries which we now consider wrong.

Select an ideal response for:

Does the truth of the belief change with the number of adherents?

Does the number of believers give support for a claim? At one time in history most people thought the Sun revolved around the Earth.
