  "They all tell the same story." Well, if you have committees choosing which books to include in the canon, you would expect that.

  Not to mention, the books didn't come together by accident. People selected the books that best fit their goal in compiling then, and others were discarded.

  The point made about the Spider-Man comics is absolutely spot on. If we fast forwarded 2,000 years and people were unearthing our culture, they would be AMAZED! So many books written about Spider-Man, hundreds if not thousands of authors, all of them consistent, telling the same story with the same characters, the remains of New York City— it must mean he was real! Hail Spider-Man!

  At this point we know they are lying, they know they are lying, and they know that we know they are lying, so what does it actually matter that they are lying? It&apos;s not like real world politics depend......Ohhhhh....Oh, nooooo

  The trope falls under the same tab as that the bible tells you &quot;god loves you&quot; 365 times, one for every day of the YEAR!! Cutesy crap that nobody is ever going to check before sharing to show how smart they are.

  11th commandment reads &quot;Thou shalt not tickle without the consent of thine recipient&quot;.

  Ironically, they are vastly undercounting the number of authors because they want a big number to sound impressive but &nbsp;have to attribute books to a single author.

  I always wonder - do Christians practice this line in front of a mirror until they can say it smoothly? Because they all say it so perfectly, there’s no way it isn’t rehearsed. <br>They’ve obviously never thought of what it actually means though.

  The authors all supposedly saying the same thing is such a crazy argument. Even if we accept that claim as 100% accurate, it doesn&apos;t take into account the books considered scripture by other people but not found in the speakers&apos; preferred canon. The &quot;so many people all saying the same thing&quot; is a lot less impressive when you think about all of the people who didn&apos;t say the same thing. Even a perfectly uniform narrative would be easy to achieve without any miracles at all by simply excluding all of the texts that don&apos;t fit
