Why do atheists try so hard to battle with the most powerful force we have ever seen, religion?

Who here has seen anyone on any of these internet sites say....

"you are right and I'm wrong"

...and we never will. Those who do believe in some God came from that world most the time. Grandma, grandpa, mom and dad all believed. So some nut hiding behind a computer screen really thinks he's changing anything? Especially since he has been acting like a jerk/punk, showing what having no God does to people.

Most people do believe in some God, it simply makes them feel better about things. Better to think mom is there in Heaven than just worm food. Better to have some hope of something better than no hope at all.

I do pity atheists, they don't get it and it's sad to watch how they act.

Probably the same reason intellectuals battle stupidity and ignorance. They'll never win, but there's something about watching the world around you pretending to have an invisible overlord that doesn't sit right with intellectually honest folks.

The uneducated find comfort in convenient answers, because they don't have to struggle to suspend disbelief. No one chooses to be an atheist. It chooses you. You might or might not admit it, but if you're atheist you know it.

Religion isn't a fringe concept, it's pervasive in society and those of us who know it's bullshit aren't inclined to play along or turn a blind eye, we aren't required to.

So fuck you and your stupid ass god belief.

[benefactor]

If Christians spent more time doing the stuff Jesus did instead of constantly defending themselves/trying to prove they are right atheists would probably leave them alone. There are the single most easily trolled group of individuals on the planet. Hell...most of them don't even like each other. Talk about easy targets.:lol

Atheism isn't taught, and based on your response neither is reading comprehension where ever you went to school. I said you cannot choose to be atheist. Whereas religion is a faith based practice that relies heavily on reaffirmation of the silly belief, atheism is a conclusion based on acceptance of reality. It's not taught. What is taught is the notion that it's ok to face reality and that whatever is, is ok because there's no choice involved.

As popular as religious talk seems to be, walking the walk doesn't seem to be that popular anywhere. This place is no exception. That's because it's obviously misguided so why bother? By pretending you believe you get the comfort of group acceptance with none of the annoying requirements of religion.

".. Reuters) - Arkansas lawmakers passed a Religious Freedom Restoration Act on Tuesday that critics said would allow businesses to deny service to gays and lesbians, drawing a swift demand from Wal-Mart Stores Inc for the governor to veto the bill.

Arkansas followed Indiana, which passed a similar act last week. They are the first to do so since same-sex marriage became legal in many states last year. Corporations have criticized the measures.

At present 37 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia permit gay marriage.The world's biggest retailer, Wal-Mart , based in Bentonville, Ark., issued a statement saying the Arkansas bill threatened to undermine "the spirit of inclusion" in the state and "does not reflect the values we proudly uphold.".....

Lol it's well documented you are two of the dumbest people on the board

That coming from a guy who thinks 5-5 femaleS will be out running 6-2 males, hahaha!!!!!!!! The hell with....STRIDE LENGTH!!!!!! Fuck...SPEED ENDURANCE!

So why run all that stupid....well Oxford said......by me?

What happened ya fucking liar is you saw just how stupid it was after talking to a guy who knows far more about sprinting than Oxford, yep...me!

Dummy, women don't possess the same level of.........SPEED ENDURANCE......ok? That is what a 100m is all about....ok?

We humans can only run 70ish (men) all out, then it becomes all about maintaining a % of max velocity. Since women max out around 60ish, guess what?

Slowing down the decelleration phase, is paramount in 100m sprinting, the huge difference between men and women, ok little guy?

[Blake]

You have a horrible problem with "can" vs "will"

you also haven't answered which God you bow down to

lol immaculate conception.

Dummy, there is no situation possible where female sprinters will ever out run male sprinters, ok? There is no ...maybe...can...will...might...of any kind, ok? Yep...IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And only a total idiot wouldn't know that.


Stupid, just picture a female running back a kickoff in the NFL, ok? It is the exact same thing, it cannot happen.

Damn you're dumb, wow~~~~~~~~~~


I'll go slow...

We humans created the Christian God just like Mohammad created Allah. Just like we created Oisis, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin. Ok, ya with me?

I like you and everyone else has no clue at all about how it all really went down, but only idiots could possiblity think it happened by chance. So something is behind the design, what/who that was we don't know. Yep, just like a kid who never met his father.

I believe in that MasterDesigner or Designers. Just like I'd believe in a father I'd never met, ok?

[DMC]

Designer or designers? How can you believe in something when you have no idea what it is you're believing in?

Your entire argument is build on logical fallacies. You're a walking compendium of logical fallacies. In fact, you're so stupid that no one will take the time to explain reality to you. They don't see the point.

Dude, do you honestly think anyone at Oxford can talk sprinting with a guy who has been into as long as I have?

I doubt anyone there has ever heard of Betty Robinson. Who won the Olympic gold at 16 in only her 4th race ever.

Trust me amigo, I'd take Oxford totally to school.

I doubt anyone there has ever heard of Betty Robinson. Waho won the Olympic gold at 16 in only he4r 4th race ever.

Trust me amigo, I'd take Oxford totally to school.

no words

[Blake]

You mean treating smart asses like they treat everyone else? Look at you.

I'm not religious, you just now figuring that out?

you're barely literate.

[Avante]

no words

Think about it, I was a sprinter. I could coach the sport. Now add the fact there is nobody on this planet more into the who, what, where, when and how than myself. I have it 100% covered. I can talk about sprinters Oxford has never heard of. I can also break down the nuts and bolts on how to sprint.

Oxford...hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Avante]

you're barely literate.

What? Dude, where do you get shit like that at?

You don't get an...A...in creative writing being barely literate, hahahaha!!!

Blake, trust me little guy, this...I smart and you not....you try to play is ridiculous. You come off as a fucking moron and I'm dead serious, ok?

atheist....my daughter is pretty sick, it's not looking good.
believer....I'll have the congregation pray for her.
atheist...whatever.

a month later

believer...so how is your daughter doing?
atheist...ya know, right after I talked to you last she made a quick recovery. The doctors were shocked.

I could write the story about the Amonians from the planet Amon, and how they are the ones responsible for all this. How they were setting things up to move here but before they did....BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Amon explodes. Something they thought they could beat, yep, wrong!

[Avante]

You don't seem to be getting this at all.

I was raised in a family that did believe, Judy believes. A lot of people I know believe. I like what that belief has done for all of them. Sure beats the hell out of what I see from little shits like you.

I would never ever argue/debate their beliefs, it is a good thing and I see it. I just believe things didn;t work that way, no big deal, I just see it a little differently.

Ok guy?

That little story was a believer not me. Which I made very clear.

Couple old folks who share their belief in God....

The old man is dying, but he's ready to go to that better place, while his wife of 54 years will miss him she knows he will be just fine in that better place. So both are content knowing Heaven awaits.

I could go on and on as to why having some God beats the hell out...

"oh yeah, well can ya prove it, huh huh can ya, can ya"......that's for stupid ass idiots who simply don't get it.

[DMC]

Stupid is actually thinking anyone knows the realities involved in this situation. No. That's not stupid, that's ignorant. Stupid is knowing that no one knows the realities of this situation yet forming a belief anyhow... and worshiping it..

You don't have a clue anymore than anyone else does. Just an asshole running your fucking mouth.

Who has admitted to himself and others that he's seen no evidence that a god exists so he doesn't believe one does... unlike you... coward fence straddler.

Mother has a knife in her hand, has a baby in a crib. Knows that the baby might grow up and sin and go to hell. Kills the baby to ensure eternal salvation for the child. She follows suit with the other 4 children. She knows she'll be damned to hell, but she's sacrificed her eternal soul for the souls of those children. Jesus smiles and welcomes her home as well. After all, twas God that whispered in her ear.

Couple of old folks who share their belief in Allah. The old man is dying but he's ready to go to meet his 70 virgins. His wife of 54 years (one of 6 wives) will miss him but she knows he's going to be with better looking women than her or her concubine sisters, one of whom has half her face missing because she was burned with acid for reading the Quran.

What would something "all powerful" look like? In order to have evidence of "something all powerful", you'd have to know the standard. I'm betting that goes right over your fat head.

Here we are just hanging out in space, does the water fall off, nope? Oh yeah, gravity. But noway in hell we could have had a MasterDesigner that's just too far fetched.....hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[phyzik]

certain people on this site get pissed because I troll them from time to time on this portion of Spurstalk.... They just don't understand that I am just trying to get them to just look at the fucking evidence! It is SO INFURIATING when it is RIGHT THERE in front of their faces and they still REFUSE to acknowledge it! That is why I hardly ever post in the Club anymore except to get a "troll high" from these sadly unintellectual sky daddy believers once in a while for entertainment when there is nothing on TV.

I get enjoyment out of their complete ignorance and belief in their sky daddy. I feel sad that it will probably be long after my lifetime that Humans finally let go of their security blanket and sky daddy and realize humanities true potential and stop relying on a fictional character equivalent to Robin Williams portrayal of The Genie in Aladdin.

The funny thing is, the people that are going to get pissed and try to argue with me have probably never even read the bible... new or old testament.... If they did, they are, at best apologist for knowing what the old testament or even the new testament preaches. Oh, and don't forget that "God's" word is infallible but yet a "new Testament" had to be created because he fucked up the first time..... Infallible as my ass shitting crap.

what a fucking non-existent fraud.....

Wait, How does a fake person be a fraud?

Ohh, I know, They are not the fraud, the belief in them is.

Jesus may have existed, but at the BEST of times, I would label him as a huckster, a crazy bum on the street you see every day today, a modern day TV evangelist who profits off of peoples money and problems for their own gain.

It's not about the music little man, it's about what having a God/Superior Being does to people. Look at all those in that audience, try running your stupidity by any of them. You'd be laughed at just like you are here. Nobody plays.."but ya can't see Him"....but dumb fucks like you.

Where do I make fun of their God? Now think, why would I do that when I believe in something just as out there? I don't believe in the Bible stories, I don't think it went down like that. But the bottom line is believing in that Superior Being.

We don't have to agree on the flavor if we both love ice cream, I know...huh?

No, that's not the bottom line. Christians believe in the Bible, front to back. They worship a very specific God.

And you've made fun of their book, thus making fun of their religion, thus making fun of them.

Wrong as you always are.

It's not about what God anyone believes in, its all about them knowing all this had a creator. Which seperates us from you.

We could be in a room with a thousand beleivers and you. When told....raise your hand if you believe a God/Superior Being created all this......999 would raise their hand. It doesn't matter about Budda, Hindu, Islam, Catholic, Christian, Jehovah Witness, Mormon etc etc, that mean nothing.

A 45 year old man with a beard believes he's a woman and wants to change in front of little girls.

I realize you're a shitty troll from day one even when you had your other shitty user name, but even a troll shows his hand at times. You've shown yours. You're too fucking stupid to understand the logical fallacies that you employ around here, but you somehow find it funny that people call you out on them. '

For your reading pleasure, since you like lists, little man.... OK???? HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Ad Hominem Argument: Also, "personal attack," "poisoning the well." The fallacy of attempting to refute an argument by attacking the opposition’s personal character or reputation, using a corrupted negative argument from ethos. E.g., "He's so evil that you can't believe anything he says." See also Guilt by Association. Also applies to cases where valid opposing evidence and arguments are brushed aside without comment or consideration, as simply not worth arguing about.





Appeal to Closure. The contemporary fallacy that an argument, standpoint, action or conclusion must be accepted, no matter how questionable, or else the point will remain unsettled and those affected will be denied "closure." This refuses to recognize the truth that some points will indeed remain unsettled, perhaps forever. (E.g., "Society would be protected, crime would be deterred and justice served if we sentence you to life without parole, but we need to execute you in order to provide some sense of closure.") (See also "Argument from Ignorance," "Argument from Consequences.")





Appeal to Heaven: (also Deus Vult, Gott mit Uns, Manifest Destiny, the Special Covenant). An extremely dangerous fallacy (a deluded argument from ethos) of asserting that God (or a higher power) has ordered, supports or approves one's own standpoint or actions so no further justification is required and no serious challenge is possible. (E.g., "God ordered me to kill my children," or "We need to take away your land, since God [or Destiny, or Fate, or Heaven] has given it to us.") A private individual who seriously asserts this fallacy risks ending up in a psychiatric ward, but groups or nations who do it are far too often taken seriously. This vicious fallacy has been the cause of endless bloodshed over history.





Appeal to Pity: (also "Argumentum ad Miserecordiam"). The fallacy of urging an audience to “root for the underdog” regardless of the issues at hand (e.g., “Those poor, cute little squeaky mice are being gobbled up by mean, nasty cats that are ten times their size!”) A corrupt argument from pathos. See also Playing to Emotions.

Appeal to Tradition: (also "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"). The fallacy that a standpoint, situation or action is right, proper and correct simply because it has "always" been that way, because people have "always" thought that way, or because it continues to serve one particular group very well. A corrupted argument from ethos (that of past generations). (E.g., "In America, women have always been paid less, so let's not mess with long-standing tradition."). The reverse of this is yet another fallacy, the "Appeal to Novelty," e.g., "It's NEW, and [therefore it must be] good, or improved!"





Argument from Consequences: The major fallacy of arguing that something cannot be true because if it were the consequences would be unacceptable. (E.g., "Global climate change cannot be caused by human burning of fossil fuels, because if it were, switching to non-polluting energy sources would bankrupt American industry," or "Doctor, that's wrong! I can't have cancer, because if I did that'd mean that I won't live to see my kids get married!")





Argument from Ignorance: The fallacy that since we don’t know (or can never know, or cannot prove) whether a claim is true or false, it must be false (or that it must be true). E.g., “Scientists are never going to be able to positively prove their theory that humans evolved from other creatures, because we weren't there to see it! So, that proves the Genesis six-day creation account is literally true as written!” This fallacy includes Attacking the Evidence, e.g. "Your arguments are false! That proves I'm right!" This usually includes “Either-Or Reasoning:” E.g., “The vet can't find any reasonable explanation for why my dog died. See! See! That proves that you poisoned him! There’s no other logical explanation!” A corrupted argument from logos. A fallacy commonly found in American political, judicial and forensic reasoning.

See also "Argumentum ex Silentio."


Argument from Inertia (also “Stay the Course”). The fallacy that it is necessary to continue on a mistaken course of action even after discovering it is mistaken, because changing course would mean admitting one's decision (or one's leader, or one's faith) was wrong, and all one's effort, expense and sacrifice was for nothing, and that's unthinkable. A variety of the Argument from Consequences or the Appeal to Tradition.


Argument from Motives (also Questioning Motives). The fallacy of declaring a standpoint or argument invalid solely because of the evil, corrupt or questionable motives of the one making the claim. E.g., "Bin Laden wanted us out of Afghanistan, so we have to keep up the fight!" Even evil people with corrupt motives sometimes say the truth (and even those who have the highest motives are often wrong or mistaken). A variety of the Ad Hominem argument.

The counterpart of this is the fallacy of falsely justifying or excusing evil or vicious actions because of the perpetrator's purity of motives or lack of malice. (E.g., "He's a good Christian man; how could you accuse him of doing something like that?")

Argumentum ad Baculam (also "Argument from the Club"). The fallacy of "persuasion" by force, violence, or threats. E.g., "Gimmee your money, or I'll knock your head off!" or "We have the perfect right to take your land, since we have the guns and you don't." Also applies to indirect forms of threat. E.g., "Believe in our religion if you don't want to burn in hell forever and ever!"


Argumentum ex Silentio (Argument from Silence. See also, Argument from Ignorance). The fallacy that if sources remain silent or say nothing about a given subject or question this in itself proves something about the truth of the matter. E.g., "Science can tell us nothing about God. That proves God doesn't exist." Or "Science admits it can tell us nothing about God, so you can't deny that God exists!" Often misused in the American justice system, where, contrary to the 5th Amendment, remaining silent or "taking the Fifth" is often falsely portrayed as proof of guilt. E.g., "Mr. Hixel has no alibi for the evening of January 15th. This proves that he was in fact in room 331 at the Smuggler's Inn, murdering his wife with a hatchet!" In today's America, choosing to remain silent in the face of police officer's questions makes one guilty enough to be arrested or even shot.


Bandwagon (also, Argument from Common Sense, Argumentum ad Populum): The fallacy of arguing that because "everyone" supposedly thinks or does something, it must be right. E.g., "Everyone knows that undocumented aliens ought to be kicked out!" Sometimes also includes Lying with Statistics, e.g. “Surveys show that over 75% of Americans believe Senator Snith is not telling the truth. For anyone with half a brain, that conclusively proves he’s a dirty liar!”


Begging the Question (also Circular Reasoning): Falsely arguing that something is true by repeating the same statement in different words. E.g., “The witchcraft problem is the most urgent spiritual crisis in the world today. Why? Because witches threaten our very souls.” A corrupt argument from logos. See also "Big Lie technique."


Big Lie Technique (also "Staying on Message"): The contemporary fallacy of repeating a lie, slogan or deceptive half-truth over and over (particularly in the media) until people believe it without further proof or evidence.. E.g., "What about the Jewish Question?" Note that when this particular phony debate was going on there was no "Jewish Question," only a "Nazi Question," but hardly anybody in power recognized or wanted to talk about that.



Blind Loyalty (also Blind Obedience, the "Team Player" appeal, or the Nuremberg Defense). The dangerous fallacy that an argument or action is right simply and solely because a respected leader or source (a President, expert, one’s parents, one's own "side," team or country, one’s boss or commanding officers) say it is right. This is over-reliance on authority, a corrupted argument from ethos that puts loyalty above truth, above one's own reason and above conscience. In this case a person attempts to justify incorrect, stupid or criminal behavior by whining "That's what I was told to do," or “I was just following orders."


Blood is Thicker than Water (also Favoritism, Compadrismo, "For my friends, anything."). The reverse of the "Ad Hominem" fallacy, a corrupt argument from ethos where a statement, argument or action is automatically regarded as true, correct and above challenge because one is related to, or knows and likes, or is on the same team as the individual involved. (E.g., "My brother-in-law says he saw you goofing off on the job. You're a hard worker, but who am I going to believe, you or him? You're fired!")


Bribery (also Material Persuasion, Material Incentive, Financial Incentive). The fallacy of "persuasion" by bribery, gifts or favors, the reverse of the Argumentum ad Baculam. As is well known, someone who is persuaded by bribery rarely "stays persuaded" unless the bribes keep on coming in and increasing with time.


The Complex Question: The fallacy of demanding a direct answer to a question that cannot be answered without first analyzing or challenging the basis of the question itself. E.g., "Just answer me "yes" or "no": Did you think you could get away with plagiarism and not suffer the consequences?" Or, "Why did you rob that bank?" Also applies to situations where one is forced to either accept or reject complex standpoints or propositions containing both acceptable and unacceptable parts. A corruption of the argument from logos.


Diminished Responsibility: The common contemporary fallacy of applying a specialized judicial concept (that criminal punishment should be less if one's judgment was impaired) to reality in general. E.g., "You can't count me absent on Monday--I was hung over and couldn't come to class, so it's not my fault." Or, "Yeah, I was speeding on the freeway and killed a guy, but I was buzzed out of my mind and didn't know what I was doing, so it didn't matter that much." In reality the death does matter very much to the victim, to his family and friends and to society in general. Whether the perpetrator was high or not does not matter at all since the material results are the same.


Either-Or Reasoning: (also False Dilemma, Black / White Fallacy). A fallacy that falsely offers only two possible alternatives even though a broad range of possible alternatives are always really available. E.g., "Either you are 100% straight or you are queer as a $3 bill--it's as simple as that, and there's no middle ground!" Or, “Either you’re in with us all the way or you’re a hostile and must be destroyed! What's it gonna be?"


”E" for Effort. (Also Noble Effort) The contemporary fallacy that something must be right, true, valuable, or worthy of credit simply because someone has put so much sincere good-faith effort or even sacrifice and bloodshed into it. (See also Appeal to Pity, Argument from Inertia, or Sob Story.).


Equivocation: The fallacy of deliberately failing to define one's terms, or deliberately using words in a different sense than the one the audience will understand. (E.g., Bill Clinton stating that he did not have sexual relations with "that woman," meaning no sexual penetration, knowing full well that the audience will understand his statement as "I had no sexual contact of any sort with that woman.") This is a corruption of the argument from logos, and a tactic often used in American jurisprudence.


Essentializing: A fallacy that proposes a person or thing “is what it is and that’s all that it is,” and at its core will always be the way it is right now (E.g., "All terrorists are monsters, and will still be terrorist monsters even if they live to be 100."). Also refers to the fallacy of arguing that something is a certain way "by nature," an empty claim that no amount of proof can refute. (E.g., "Americans are cold and greedy by nature," or "Women are better cooks than men.")


Excluded Middle: A corrupted argument from logos that proposes that since a little of something is good, more must be better (or that if cutting down on something is good, none at all is even better). E.g., "If eating an apple a day is good for you, eating an all-apple diet is even better!" or "If a low salt diet prolongs your life, a zero-salt diet should make you live forever!"


False Analogy: The fallacy of incorrectly comparing one thing to another in order to draw a false conclusion. E.g., "Just like an alley cat needs to prowl, a normal person can’t be tied down to one single lover."



Finish the Job: The dangerous contemporary fallacy that an action or standpoint (or the continuation of the action or standpoint) may not be questioned or discussed because there is "a job to be done," falsely assuming all "jobs" are meaningless but never to be questioned. Sometimes those involved internalize ("buy into") the "job" and make the task a part of their own ethos. (E.g., "Ours is not to reason why / Ours is but to do or die.") Related to this is the "Just a Job" fallacy. (E.g., "How can torturers stand to look at themselves in the mirror? But, I guess it's OK because for them it's just a job.") (See also "Blind Loyalty," "Argument from Inertia.")



Guilt by Association: The fallacy of trying to refute or condemn someone's standpoint, arguments or actions by evoking the negative ethos of those with whom one associates or of a group, religion or race to which he or she belongs. A form of Ad Hominem Argument. (E.g., "Don't listen to her. She's a Republican so you can't trust anything she says.")

See also "They're Not Like Us."


The Half Truth (also Card Stacking, Incomplete Information). A corrupt argument from logos, the fallacy of telling the truth but deliberately omitting important key details in order to falsify the larger picture and support a false conclusion (e.g. “The truth is that Ciudad Juárez, Mexico is one of the world's fastest growing cities and can boast of a young, ambitious and hard-working population, mild winters, a dry and sunny climate, low cost medical and dental care, a multitude of churches and places of worship, delicious local cuisine and a swinging nightclub scene. Taken together, all these facts clearly prove that Juarez is one of the world’s most desirable places for young families to live, work and raise a family.”)



I Wish I Had a Magic Wand: The fallacy of regretfully (and falsely) proclaiming oneself powerless to change a bad or objectionable situation.. E.g., "What can we do about high gas prices? As Secretary of Energy I wish I had a magic wand, but I don't." [shrug]

Or, "No, you can't quit piano lessons. I wish I had a magic wand and could teach you piano overnight, but I don't, so like it or not, you have to keep on practicing." The parent, of course, ignores the possibility that the child may not want or need to learn piano. See also, TINA.


Just in Case: A fallacy by which one’s argument is based on a far-fetched or completely imaginary worst-case scenario rather than on reality. This plays on pathos (fear) rather than reason. E.g., "What if armed terrorists were to attack your county grain elevator tomorrow morning? Are you ready to fight back? Better stock up on assault rifles just in case!"



Lying with Statistics: Using true figures and numbers to “prove” unrelated claims. (e.g. "College tuition costs have never been lower. When taken as a percentage of the national debt, getting a college education is actually far cheaper today than it was in 1965!"). A corrupted argument from logos. (See also Half-truth, Snow Job, and Red Herring.)



MYOB (Mind Your Own Business; You're Not the Boss of Me; The Appeal to Privacy), The contemporary fallacy of arbitrarily terminating any discussion of one's own standpoints or behavior, no matter how absurd, dangerous, evil or offensive, by drawing a phony curtain of privacy around oneself and one's actions. A corrupted argument from ethos (your own). (E.g., "Sure, I was doing eighty and weaving between lanes on Mesa Street--what's it to you? You're not a cop, you're not my nanny It's my business to speed, and your business to get the hell out of the way. Mind your own business!" Or, "Yeah, I killed my kid. So butt out! It's none of your business!") (See also, "Taboo.") Rational discussion is cut off because "it is none of your business!"


Name-Calling: A variety of the "Ad Hominem" argument. The dangerous fallacy that, simply because of who you are, any and all arguments, disagreements or objections against your standpoint or actions are automatically racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, bigoted, discriminatory or hateful. E.g., "My stand on abortion is the only correct one. To disagree with me, argue with me or question my judgment in any way would only show what a pig you really are." Also applies to refuting an argument by simply calling it a fallacy or declaring it invalid, without proving why it is invalid. See also, "Reductionism."


Non Sequitur: The fallacy of offering reasons or conclusions that have no logical connection to the argument at hand (e.g. “The reason I flunked your course is because the government is now putting out purple five-dollar bills! Purple!”). (See also Red Herring.)

Occasionally involves the breathtaking arrogance of claiming to have special knowledge of why God is doing certain things. E.g., "This week's earthquake was sent to punish those people for their great wickedness."


Overgeneralization (also Hasty Generalization). The stupid but common fallacy of incorrectly applying one or two examples to all cases (e.g. “Some college student was tailgating me all the way up North Main Street last night. This proves that all college students are lousy drivers and that we should pull their driver’s licenses until they either grow up, learn to drive or graduate!”).


The Paralysis of Analysis (also, Procrastination): A postmodern fallacy that since all data is never in any conclusion is always provisional, no legitimate decision can ever be made, and any action should always be delayed until forced by circumstances. A corruption of the argument from logos.


Playing on Emotion (also, the Sob Story): The classic fallacy of pure argument from pathos, ignoring facts and calling on emotion alone. E.g., “If you don’t agree that witchcraft is a major problem just shut up for a moment and picture in your mind all those poor moms crying bitter tears for their innocent tiny little children whose little beds and tricycles lie cold and abandoned, all because of those wicked old witches! Let’s string’em up!”



Political Correctness ("PC"): A postmodern fallacy that the nature of a thing or situation can be changed simply by changing its name. E.g., "Today we strike a blow against cruelty to animals by changing the name of ‘pets’ to ‘animal companions.’" or "Never, ever use the word 'victim' because it sounds so negative, helpless and despairing. Instead, call them 'survivors.'" (Of course, when "victims" disappear then the perpetrators conveniently vanish as well!)



Post Hoc Argument: (also, "post hoc propter hoc" argument, or the "too much of a coincidence" argument): The classic fallacy that because something comes at the same time or just after something else, the first thing is caused by the second. E.g., "AIDS first emerged as a problem during the exact same time that Disco music was becoming popular--that's too much of a coincidence: It proves that Disco caused AIDS!"



Red Herring: An irrelevant distraction, attempting to mislead an audience by bringing up an unrelated, but usually emotionally loaded issue. E.g., "In regard to my recent indictment for corruption, let’s talk about what’s really important instead: Sky-high taxes! Vote for me! I'll cut your taxes!"


Reductionism: (also, Oversimplifying, Sloganeering): The fallacy of deceiving an audience by giving simple answers or slogans in response to complex questions, especially when appealing to less educated or unsophisticated audiences. E.g., "If the glove doesn’t fit, you must vote to acquit." Or, "Vote for Snith. He's tough on crime!"


Reifying: The fallacy of treating imaginary categories as actual, material "things." (E.g., "Back in the day, the biggest struggle in youth culture was between Goths and Emos.") Sometimes also referred to as "Essentializing" or “Hypostatization.”

[Avante]

So because people can be whipped into a frenzy by charismatic performances, god must be real. The Beatles made women scream and faint. I guess the Beatles were gods.

Does our money read....In The Beatles We Trust? Is it...So Help Me Beatles? How about...ONE NATION UNDER THE BEATLES? I swear to The Beatles?

Do we celebrate the birth of The Beatles? Are there millions of shrines/churchs built for The Beatles?

You do know that Billy Graham drew far bigger crowds than The Beatles, right?

Come Sunday morning take a drive around your town/city, look at all those churchs. Don't you feel sorta, stupid?

[DMC]

Scare Tactic (Also Paranoia): A variety of Playing on Emotions, a raw appeal to fear. A corrupted argument from Pathos.(E.g., "If you don't do what I say we're all gonna die! In this moment of great crisis we can't afford the luxury of criticizing or trying to second-guess my decisions. Our very lives are in peril! We need to be united as one!")



Sending the Wrong Message: A dangerous fallacy that attacks a given statement or action, no matter how true, correct or necessary, because it will "send the wrong message." In effect, those who use this fallacy are publicly confessing to fraud and admitting that the truth will destroy the fragile web of illusion that has been created by their lies. E.g., "Actually, we're losing the war against drugs hands down, but if we publicly admit it we'll be sending the wrong message."


Shifting the Burden of Proof. (see also Argument from Ignorance) A fallacy that challenges opponents to disprove a claim, rather than asking the person making the claim to defend his/her own argument. E.g., "Space-aliens are everywhere among us masquerading as true humans, even right here on campus! I dare you prove it isn't so! See? You can't! That means what I say is true."


Slippery Slope (also, the Domino Theory): The common fallacy that "one thing inevitably leads to another." E.g., "If you two go and drink coffee together one thing will lead to another and soon enough you'll be pregnant and end up spending your life on welfare living in the projects," or "If we close Gitmo, pretty soon armed terrorists will be on our doorstep!"


Snow Job: The fallacy of “proving” a claim by overwhelming an audience with mountains of irrelevant facts, numbers, documents, graphs and statistics that they cannot be expected to understand. This is a corrupted argument from logos. See also, "Lying with Statistics."


Straw Man (also "The Straw Person"): The fallacy of setting up a phony, ridiculous version of an opponent's argument and then proceeding to knock it down with a wave of the hand. E.g., "Vegetarians say animals have feelings like you and me. Ever seen a cow laugh at a Shakespeare comedy? Vegetarianism is nonsense!"

Or, "Pro-choicers hate babies!" Or, "Pro-lifers hate women and want them to spend their lives barefoot, pregnant and chained to the kitchen stove!"

Taboo: The fallacy of unilaterally declaring certain arguments, standpoints or actions to be "sacrosanct" or not open to discussion, or arbitrarily taking some standpoints or options "off the table" beforehand. (E.g., "Don't bring my drinking into this," or "Before we start, I won't allow you to attack my arguments by claiming 'That's just what Hitler would say!'")


Testimonial (also Questionable Authority, Faulty Use of Authority): A fallacy in which support for a standpoint or product is provided by a well-known or respected figure (e.g. a star athlete or entertainer) who is not an expert and who was probably well paid to make the endorsement (e.g., “Olympic gold-medal pole-vaulter Fulano de Tal uses Quick Flush Internet-shouldn’t you?"). Also includes other false, meaningless or paid means of associating oneself or one’s product with the ethos of a famous person or event (e.g. “Try Salsa Cabria, the official taco sauce of the Winter Olympics!”) This is a corrupted argument from ethos.


They're Not Like Us: A badly corrupted, racist argument from ethos where facts, arguments, experiences or objections are arbitrarily disregarded, ignored or put down without consideration because those involved "are not like us," or "don't think like us." E.g., "It's OK for Mexicans to earn half a buck an hour in the maquiladoras. If it happened here I'd call it brutal exploitation and daylight robbery, but way down south of the border they're not like us." Or, "Sure, the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, but in Asia they're not like us and they don't think about life and death the same way we do ." A variety of the Ad Hominem Argument, most often applied to non-white populations.


TINA (There Is No Alternative. Also "That's an order," "Get Over It," or the "fait accompli"). A very common contemporary extension of the either/or fallacy, quashing critical thought by announcing that there is no realistic alternative to a given standpoint, status or action, ruling any and all other options irrelevant, or announcing that a decision has been made and any further discussion is insubordination, disloyalty, or simply a waste of valuable time when there's a job to be done. (See also, "Taboo;" "Finish the Job.")


Transfer: A corrupt argument from ethos, falsely associating a famous person or thing with an unrelated standpoint (e.g. putting a picture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an advertisement for mattresses, using Genghis Khan, a Mongol who hated Chinese, as the name of a Chinese restaurant, or using the Texas flag to sell cars or pickups that were made in Detroit, Kansas City or Kyoto)..

(See also "Testimonial.")

Tu Quoque ("You Do it Too!"; also Two Wrongs Make a Right): A corrupt argument from ethos. The fallacy of defending a shaky or false standpoint or excusing one's own bad action by pointing out that one's opponent's acts or personal character are also open to question, or are perhaps even worse than one's own. E.g., "Sure, we torture and kill but we don't cut off heads off like they do!" Or, "You can't stand there and accuse me of corruption! You guys are all in politics and you know what you have to do to get reelected!" . Related to the Red Herring and to the Ad Hominem Argument.



We Have to Do Something: The dangerous contemporary fallacy that in moments of crisis one must do something,anything, at once, even if it is an overreaction, is totally ineffective or makes the situation even worse, rather than "just sit there doing nothing." (E.g., "Banning air passengers from carrying ham sandwiches onto the plane and making babies take off their little pink baby-shoes probably does nothing to deter potential hijackers, but we have to do something to respond to this crisis!") This is a corrupted argument from pathos. (See also "Scare Tactic.")


Where there’s smoke, there’s fire (also Hasty Conclusion, Jumping to a Conclusion). The dangerous fallacy of drawing a snap conclusion and/or taking action without sufficient evidence. E.g., “My neighbor Jaminder Singh wears a long beard and a turban and speaks a funny language. Where there's smoke there's fire. That’s all the evidence we need that he's a terrorist! Let's burn his store down!” A variety of the “Just in Case” fallacy.

Bandwagon (also, Argument from Common Sense, Argumentum ad Populum): The fallacy of arguing that because "everyone" supposedly thinks or does something, it must be right. E.g., "Everyone knows that undocumented aliens ought to be kicked out!" Sometimes also includes Lying with Statistics, e.g. “Surveys show that over 75% of Americans believe Senator Snith is not telling the truth. For anyone with half a brain, that conclusively proves he’s a dirty liar!”This is how I'm going to respond to you. Every time you say something stupid, you're going to get a lesson.

Essentializing: A fallacy that proposes a person or thing “is what it is and that’s all that it is,” and at its core will always be the way it is right now (E.g., "All terrorists are monsters, and will still be terrorist monsters even if they live to be 100."). Also refers to the fallacy of arguing that something is a certain way "by nature," an empty claim that no amount of proof can refute. (E.g., "Americans are cold and greedy by nature," or "Women are better cooks than men.")

Since marriage is a religious endeavor, there would be no marriages if religion never existed.

The fact is that religion does exist. Because it exists, the antithesis to it must also exist. Despite religion's head start, the trend is toward secularism. It won't penetrate into the minds of today's older religious folk, but they will die and their kids will be atheists.

Religion isn't a fringe concept, it's pervasive in society and those of us who know it's bullshit aren't inclined to play along or turn a blind eye, we aren't required to.

So fuck you and your stupid ass god belief.

Since marriage is a religious endeavor, there would be no marriages if religion never existed.

Argument from Consequences: The major fallacy of arguing that something cannot be true because if it were the consequences would be unacceptable. (E.g., "Global climate change cannot be caused by human burning of fossil fuels, because if it were, switching to non-polluting energy sources would bankrupt American industry," or "Doctor, that's wrong! I can't have cancer, because if I did that'd mean that I won't live to see my kids get married!")

Appeal to Pity: (also "Argumentum ad Miserecordiam"). The fallacy of urging an audience to “root for the underdog” regardless of the issues at hand (e.g., “Those poor, cute little squeaky mice are being gobbled up by mean, nasty cats that are ten times their size!”) A corrupt argument from pathos. See also Playing to Emotions.

Not really. Marriage wasn't a legal doctrine before it was a religious one. You can say it's debatable that there would be no marriage today if religion never existed, but since marriage is a religious endeavor, you have your work cut out for you. The early folk didn't separate religion from society or law. Their law and society was religion, in all of it. That being the case, marriage itself was also religion.

No of course not. You cannot pick a convenient point along the way and say "if there was no religion after this point...".

The marriage term is relatively new, 800 years or so. I doubt you could go back 800 years and find a secular society or any society that practiced religion as a choice. It was part of their being, so if they got hitched it was a religious thing. It started off that way. There might be an animalistic claim to a mate, but that's not marriage.

This is why I say the world is becoming secular. As ignorance of science diminishes, secularism increases. That's cause and effect and it means something. Like Origin of Species, secularism won't be accepted for maybe generations, not as a whole in society, but it's what's true and it will remain and grow.

Dude, 800 years?

How old is the institution?

The best available evidence suggests that it’s about 4,350 years old. For thousands of years before that, most anthropologists believe, families consisted of loosely organized groups of as many as 30 people, with several male leaders, multiple women shared by them, and children. As hunter-gatherers settled down into agrarian civilizations, society had a need for more stable arrangements. The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting one woman and one man dates from about 2350 B.C., in Mesopotamia. Over the next several hundred years, marriage evolved into a widespread institution embraced by the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. But back then, marriage had little to do with love or with religion.

it's just one instance to show marriage can have and has had a much broader definition than the one you're limiting it to.

Ok pick a definition and stick with it, no moving the goal posts. You do realize though that the word "marriage" actually has a meaning, it's not an arbitrary claim between any two living things.


and my thinking is that since church is now irrelevant in our society to get married, I have no reason to believe it was ever necessary to give birth to it to begin with.

That's non-sequitur. We can say "Jesus Christ" now and not be religious, but without religion we wouldn't be saying Jesus Christ.


which of course would be why I'd say religion has held gays back from getting married.
But you didn't stop there and I didn't take issue with that statement because it's true. What you actually said was "If not for religion, we'd allow gays the freedom to get married and be happy/unhappy just like straight people."

If what you meant was "if religion didn't interfere" that's different than saying "if religion never existed". Either way, the push against Gay marriage isn't just a religious issue and that part that is a religious issue isn't confined to the church. You can no more separate yourself from your religious upbringing than you can from your racist upbringing, if you have either. You might disagree with the tenets, but you still know them and you still are accustomed to certain things being a certain way. Homosexuality is a sin, but then so is working on Sunday. There are no laws against working on Sunday so it's not all religion.

Appeal to Closure. The contemporary fallacy that an argument, standpoint, action or conclusion must be accepted, no matter how questionable, or else the point will remain unsettled and those affected will be denied "closure." This refuses to recognize the truth that some points will indeed remain unsettled, perhaps forever. (E.g., "Society would be protected, crime would be deterred and justice served if we sentence you to life without parole, but we need to execute you in order to provide some sense of closure.") (See also "Argument from Ignorance," "Argument from Consequences.")

Argument from Consequences: The major fallacy of arguing that something cannot be true because if it were the consequences would be unacceptable.

So you should start a new thread: It Doesn't Matter Whether or Not God Exists

That's your argument. The rest of your shit is just you flinging monkey shit and seeing where it sticks.

MYOB (Mind Your Own Business; You're Not the Boss of Me; The Appeal to Privacy), The contemporary fallacy of arbitrarily terminating any discussion of one's own standpoints or behavior, no matter how absurd, dangerous, evil or offensive, by drawing a phony curtain of privacy around oneself and one's actions. A corrupted argument from ethos (your own). (E.g., "Sure, I was doing eighty and weaving between lanes on Mesa Street--what's it to you? You're not a cop, you're not my nanny It's my business to speed, and your business to get the hell out of the way. Mind your own business!" Or, "Yeah, I killed my kid. So butt out! It's none of your business!") (See also, "Taboo.") Rational discussion is cut off because "it is none of your business!"

Why I continue to post this silliness knowing Avante isn't reading it, shows just how far gone I really am. I was looking for another famous Avante list, I guess not, bummer!

Argument from Ignorance: The fallacy that since we don’t know (or can never know, or cannot prove) whether a claim is true or false, it must be false (or that it must be true). E.g., “Scientists are never going to be able to positively prove their theory that humans evolved from other creatures, because we weren't there to see it! So, that proves the Genesis six-day creation account is literally true as written!” This fallacy includes Attacking the Evidence, e.g. "Your arguments are false! That proves I'm right!" This usually includes “Either-Or Reasoning:” E.g., “The vet can't find any reasonable explanation for why my dog died. See! See! That proves that you poisoned him! There’s no other logical explanation!” A corrupted argument from logos. A fallacy commonly found in American political, judicial and forensic reasoning.

[Blake]

Who is sidestepping, how many times have I said I believe in a Superior Being ..ALSO....? Why continue to ignore that? You do know it isn't necessary for me to see things exactly the same way, right? You do know about all the different ways of worshipping a God, right?

Blake, you really are a weird little shit.

How exactly do you worship a God?

Which one do you worship? The one whose book you make fun of?

[Blake]
