Reply To: Why do Christians try to prove the bible with the bible?
Well at least some of the time, the less clueless ones will try to demonstrate that the Bible is such a remarkable book that only Dog could have written it.
But I suspect you’re really asking after the true circular argument of the form:
SteveInCO deserves all your money because every part of this sentence is true.
Where, of course, they will point to the second half of the sentence to justify the first.
My stab at an answer is, they probably don’t realize what they’re doing; they’re so caught up in the paradigm of the book being a good authority they don’t realize that their masterful exposition on how everything is all wonderfully consistent and inter-supporting looks to you…like a titanic circular argument.
