In lugnet.off-topic.debate, Jon Kozan writes:

Is [the true god] Odin? Brahma? Zoroaster? Allah? Yahweh? Who? And why? This
question has been asked countless times, and no one here (or anywhere,
really) has answered it. Once again, as in previous threads, you're throwing
around the "blind" insult in an apparent attempt to browbeat the heathen
into acceptance.

I'll second that question-- why pick the Bible? Why pick Jesus? Why pick
your (Jon's) particular sect of Christianity? I'm going to argue that you
(Jon) pride yourself on your ability to judge correctly in the matter, and
unless you're willing to admit that you MAY be wrong, I won't let you get
away very easily.

No claims on perfection here.
Although the 'sect' comment was a bit divisive.

Is that any kind of answer to the question at hand? Namely, why pick
Christianity over any other faith?

(...) I was only answering the "willingness to admit that I MAY be wrong." Not the other - although I can provide one to that too. -Jon (23 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
