Reclaiming Misery aka Reclaiming History

[Bill Brown]

Strong belief in a doctrine based on faith in authority rather than evidence of its veracity.

But, that's just it.  My belief is not based on faith.  It is based on every single piece of evidence that has been presented.  The evidence which has been presented points to Oswald and no one but Oswald.  I know that you agree with that.

I've asked you this before.  Is there any evidence which points to someone other than Oswald?  You answered with a "no".

So, once again, you're doing nothing more than wasting the forum's time by playing devil's advocate.

Yep, plus a whole lots of faith-based assumptions, handwaving, conjecture, and cherry-picking.

  The evidence which has been presented points to Oswald and no one but Oswald.  I know that you agree with that.

What little evidence there is, is weak, circumstantial, and tainted.

I've asked you this before.  Is there any evidence which points to someone other than Oswald?  You answered with a "no".

Is that supposed to prove that Oswald committed the crime?

So, once again, you're doing nothing more than wasting the forum's time by playing devil's advocate.

No, once again, you think your answer automatically wins by default unless somebody proves a different answer.  For someone who keeps invoking what he thinks would happen at a hypothetical trial, you sure don't seem to understand how burden of proof at trials work.  Has anybody ever acquitted of a crime been required to prove that somebody else did it?

No.  I never said that.

You said that my strong belief in a doctrine is based on faith in authority.  I am simply showing that your statement is wrong, that my "strong belief" is based on the evidence and the witness testimony in the case... nothing to do with faith in authority.

And you believe that somehow equates my position on the assassination to a religion?  The cop is a deity?  You're going to have to explain that one.

The cop is a deity?

Not all of them.

Except you haven't shown anything of the kind.  Every single one of your arguments about the evidence amounts to trusting the people whose claims and opinions match your predetermined bias and ignoring the claims and opinions of people who do not.

Some of them think they are!
