This thread was, an interesting diversion for a short period of time. It ran into the following problems:

1, The right to hold a belief or opinion does not mean that all opinions are equivalent. e.g. Flat Earth hypothesis vs astrophysics, one is based on conjecture and the other on evidence.

2. Age matters in the sense that most people mature and grow over time, however not all people do so equally, and they do so asymmetrically.

3. Debating god/religion/etc.. is the largest waste of time known to man. At it's best religion is a personal quest for meaning and purpose in one's life. The  is that it is a personal philosophical endeavour that is unlikely to translate well into the lives of others. At it's worst it becomes pointless arguments that call on undeserved authority to impose viewpoints on others.

4. Historicity, archaeology, scientific evidence, and other forms of rational inquiry are best left out of it. Any religion that calls on them for support had best recognize that they are unlikely to support many religious positions and generally will undermine those positions.

This is best avoided entirely or embarked upon as a personal matter.

"The  is that it is a personal philosophical endeavour that is unlikely to translate well into the lives of others. At it's worst it becomes pointless arguments that call on undeserved authority to impose viewpoints on others."

Please tell me how do I when I discuss use justiable authority scholars/historians. Why do people come into this topic pretend to take the intelligent road when in actually if you call them out they pretend to know more when there best research is from wiki. People like this are worst than actual people trying to find out what isn't and is. The most this promotes is pure closed-mindless and ignorance.

Oh we have a scholar here or someone that read books on here I assume. Please quote the books you read on the matter or people know who are in the field of this. Please also if you have a book on it quote something from the page and give page number.

I'm so sure you are so wise on the topic that you could easily give me your resources. Oh and since your sure they will undermine everything Christians or anyone says on important matters atheist bring up please prove me wrong on exist on Jesus existence because atheist on Internet claim he didn't even exist.
