When I was a kid I once took off my dress during Mass, put it on as a cape, ran down the aisle, and screamed "I just want to light a damn God candle!!" And while the execution may have been flawed, I very much stand by the sentiment

@martyrids That's the very question I'm challenging; it isn't. Both are historical claims unrelated to divine revelation, and so one is only as crazy or evil for denying one as denying the other if they are both true. But in principle, genuine questions/doubts of these issues are not…
