So let's say you are an avid motorcycle racing fan and one day we happen to meet at a gas station where I am refueling my beloved Triumph. I introduce myself to you as MotoGP Champ and Factory Yamaha rider, Valentino Rossi.
You are shocked. I am obviously lying. How do you know? Because, as an avid fan of motorcycle racing, you know that Rossi is not a 40-something caucasian man with gray hair. Surely my claim is false - I am a liar. You have employed "critical thinking".
You used information that you know about the world of motorcycle racing in general and Rossi in particular, and applied it to me, standing right in front of you. The facts don't fit. My claim is not valid.
Interesting, though, when someone claiming to be a Christian kills another person, the reporters and news agencies covering the story never cast an iota of doubt about their claimed Christian status. They do not know, and do not care to know, enough about the bible and its laws to compare them to the actions of that murderer. If they did, they'd report that the killer had "claimed" to be a Christian, but then they'd also report that his claims did not square with biblical teachings.
But they do not. Why? Because modern media is openly hostile to Christianity and has been for a couple decades. Don't believe me? Watch what happens if a murderer is caught and he "claims" to belong to a professional sports team. The investigation will leave absolutely no stone unturned....
