Is the truth any less true just because someone chooses not to believe it?

Of course not. But I've never fully understood why bible-thumpers
expect non-believers to be persuaded by an argument that essentially
boils down to "It's true because I say it's true" (e.g. the lead
article in this thread), or "It's true because it says so in the
bible".

Part of the explanation why such poor argumentation technique can
nevertheless lead to converts, I think, lies in promises made by
Evangelical Christianity. The slate of a wasted life of immorality
and corruption can be wiped clean and eternal salvation guaranteed by
doing nothing more than accepting Jesus Christ as your savior. What a
deal!
