Logical Fallacies - Topic

firstly, your fallacy is assertion fallacy. 'religion isnt real just because you say it isnt real.

secondly though, you probably dont even know the actual definition of religion?

It's not real because I say it's not real, it's not real because it's not real.

please use this thread for your interactions

according to scripture we are all sinners. calling someone a atheist is a adhom? i believe infidel is a word muslims use?
'athiests use words like cretard, sky daddy, magic skydaddy. so stop acting so pious
christians believe we are all bad and evil so its not really a personal attack.
yes because the book says so. one studies the word one begins to have faith/trust in the word. if you wish to challenge the word please provide chapter verse version(translation) then your argument.
evidence would be presents under the tree. anyway no one believes in santa clause.
islam flies planes into buildings. only other belief that challenges islam for level of terror would be 'atheism. nothing has brought more horror to the world than 'atheism.

any way to stay on topic. for the most part your logical fallacies are "straw manning"

I am staying 100% on topic i provide logical fallacies and give examples of said fallacies. You just don't like that i am exposing your own logical fallacies. But that's ok you need to be checked for your bad faith arguments and I am here to give you some medicine.

For example:

Calling someone atheist is adhominem

ad hominem
/hŏm′ə-nĕm″, -nəm/
noun
(logical fallacy) A fallacious objection to an argument or factual claim by appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim; an attempt to argue against an opponent's idea by discrediting the opponent himself.

Atheism is a lack of belief not a belief it isn't a religion it's an absence of religion. Yet religious people assume it is and equate it to bringing unimaginable horror to the world and other farfetched conclusions.

That's really interesting! Logical fallacies are a fascinating area of study. It's true that they often come up in debates and discussions, especially on platforms like YouTube, where arguments can get heated. A lot of people don't realize how common fallacies are in everyday conversations, and how they can undermine the strength of an argument without people even noticing.

It’s pretty insightful that you made the connection between fallacies and the education system. Some people might argue that the system focuses more on standardized learning than teaching critical thinking skills like identifying fallacies, which are crucial for making sense of the world. It’s like a lot of people are taught how to memorize information, but not necessarily how to think critically about it.

What kinds of logical fallacies have you found yourself noticing the most in debates or discussions?
