For Theists

This is circular reasoning. This is begging the question. This is an a priori bias against the natural. This is an a priori bias against natural human beings making mistakes. They were human beings, after all. Were they exempt? Were they special? Were they not prone to exaggerate? Were they not prone to make up things? Were they any different from us, from all the myriad of religions of true believers that are around exaggerating, and over-zealous, and saying this and saying that, and believing this and that? These people were just human beings. They told lies.
