Why Do Atheists Rely So Heavily On Logical Fallacies? by MrPRevailer(m): 3:41pm On Mar 30, 2018 |
it continues to demonstrate how stupid atheism is. For example, you can observe them saying that former atheists were never atheist to begin with - the no true scotsman fallacy. Also you can also observe them referring to God with juvenile terms - the appeal to ridicule fallacy. Regularly you can observe them expressing their misunderstanding of scripture (often to mock), even though they admit years of study to show they found it too difficult to understand, so reject it as not true - the personal incredulity fallacy. 1 Like |

Update 2: Another observation is when they say there is no evidence of God, when there is plenty of testimonial evidence - the cherry picking fallacy. A related observation is when they say testimonial evidence is not evidence - the moving the goalposts fallacy. Another observation is when they say that religious people are the most evil people in the world - the hasty generalization fallacy. 3 Likes |

If buhari was even capable of logic we would accept him as an atheist, at least with logic he can fix our problems in Nigeria. But alas he lacks even this |

lestat: Observation: Behold another instantaneous example of the Hasty generalization fallacy. Lestat, an athiest is stating here that anybody with logical capability would mostly be an Athiest. This fallacious entity reasons not that it takes alot of logic for a Former President of Nigeria to run and win another term of office. 1 Like |

MrPRevailer: Granted that was obvious, but note the sarcasm and deviation in my comment where both intentional.and.not allusions or diverse views to the said topic |

lestat: It's also obvious that fallacies and deviations are the foundational stronghold of Atheistic arguments....a foretelling means to escape/negate pure logical reasoning and irrefutable arguments. 1 Like |

MrPRevailer: While you indeed raise salient over point I how ever state that from time immemorial the very foundations of artheism has been riddiled with flawed logic. How does one contemplate the ephemeral with lacks tangibility hence can't be factored into the more cognitive theories of logic ? Before one delves fothr into the limitless introspective spectrums of etheral contemplation and it's validity let's first deduce the very foundations of logic in itself |

Cos that is all they've got. Unfortunately, the spirit realm transcends flawless logic how much more logic that is flawed? Now God is spirit and we can only connect to him spiritually and truthfully. 1 Like |

OP, 1. aren't you generalising? isn't that a logical fallacy on its own? 2. You'll rarely see atheists commit the no true Scotsman fallacy without any reason to do so and when there's a reason its not a fallacy. for instance you can see the story of someone who come here to claim to be an atheist before. some would simply claim atheism all because they reject a single god or they're simply irreligious or they were deists but saying "I was irreligious/a deist before now I'm a Christian/Muslim" doesn't get as much attention as "From atheism to Christianity" Now Theists, especially Muslims and Christians are most famous for committing the NTS fallacy, they'll say "No true Muslim changes to Christianity" or vice versa and even when you challenge that claim they double down and claim its still true. try going to any thread where someone crosses over from islam to Christianity or vice versa and see for yourself. Hell, an atheist once pretended to be a former Christian who became a Muslim and Christians were all over the thread committing the fallacy for many pages till she said on another thread that she was just playing a thought experiment 4 Likes |

3. We ridicule religion and gods cuz they're ridiculous ideas that are not just incoherent but illogical and nonsensical. this I'm proud of doing and I'm not stopping anytime soon 4. Testimonial evidence are not evidence, they commit what's called "Anecdotal Fallacy" - Look it up cuz you seem not to even know what fallacies are - that's not moving the goalposts 5. Religious people aren't regarded to be the most evil but rather good people can do evil things in the name of religion. Not every Boko Haram member are actually bad people, some are indoctrinated and told they're doing the will of some invisible skydaddy whenever they kill Innocent people who don't share their delusions so they start seeing the killings as good and they're even happy to carry it out. 4 Likes |

They derive a feeling of importance from doing these I guess. Sadly, they end up accepting the truth after wasting a lifetime. Advice to the Christians is to never stop showing them love |

MrPRevailer: "Every Religious people notice about atheists" Look in the mirror for who's caught up in fallacious thinking. Bro, go and take several seats |
