You see little value in the arguments of Jesus Christ ...
Nonsense - what is valueless is the manner in which those of your persuasion present, explain and defend those arguments. Those who argue in such fashion succeed only in demeaning the central, core proposition, and exposing it to ridicule. Powerful, substantive, acedemically sound arguments may be made for the overall Christian proposition, though, as any argument proceeding from the Abrahamic Mythopaeia perforce depends from an undemonstrated, therefore illicit premis, no forensically valid argument may be made for any theophilosophical construct pertaining to or decended from the Abrahamic Mythopaeia. That aside, no powerful, substantive, academically sound argument for any component of the Abrahamic Mythopaeia, Christian or otherwise, has been presented in this discussion, nor in any kindred discussion to be found on these boards.
It is understandable that proponents of the Christian proposition would take exception to much of the argument counter to their proposition as is to be found here. Evident as well, if lamentable, is that the proponents of the Christian proposition who choose to participate in the related discussions here do so ineptly - enthusiastically, vigorously, passionately, determinedly, but none the less ineptly. Again, it is not so much the proposition that is met with scorn, ridicule, and rejection, it is the manner that proposition and its assorted components are presented. In fact, the most active, visible, prolific proponents of the Christian proposition to be found in these discussions are chief among the discreditors of that proposition; the harder they try, the more damage they do to their proposition.
