    Widely-known information doesn’t require citation. I also don’t have to cite that gravity exists nor that the earth revolves around the sun.

    Your failure to provide a reliable source for your extraordinary claims, however, is not my problem.

    If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.

      So is it insecurity or narcissism that makes it so you can’t acknowledge that you were wrong? When I see this same type of stubborn regression in conservatives I often wonder what the driving force is.

          Guess there is a false assumption that it has to be one or the other. You are perfectly capable of being both insecure and narcissistic. I’m addition to childish and dishonest. Question for ya, it’s widely known information that Jesus existed so no one would need to provide sources for that right? You are consistent in your application of that logic right?

                  Do you consider yourself to be honest? Mature? Do you think that you are not insecure and not narcissistic? Do you conduct yourself with consistency and integrity? Do you think that you are a good person?
