| Like most of the religious, Christians use double-standard logic in a very ignoble way. They will affirm their religion is true so long as there is a logical possibility it is true, but will not affirm evidence that contradicts their religion's authenticity so long as there is a logical possibility it is false. Since virtually anything can be possible under the conditions of their theoretical logic, they work themselves into a desire-driven paradigm where the only outcome can be their religion is true, irregardless of how implausible this seems scientifically, historically, or psychologically.
Incidentily, this is why debate against the religious is futile. The only way to overcome an idea affirmed through the emotions accompanying desire is not by reason, but with a new desire and accompanying emotions. In effect, they would have to not want to be Christian before could comprehend appeals from secularized reasoning. Otherwise, their desire-driven paradigm will simply keep them distorting information so that it will stack with their religion (which is what they call reason).
A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
