IT'S THE FUCKING INTERNET GET OVER IT

Calmate!

Did I whine? Did I insult you? Have I ever been a whiner?

No.

Save your indignant little caps-lock lessons for internet life for someone who it applies to.

 

[The Ozzman]

You said it offended you, which counts as 'whining'

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I hope the IRS kills them

I hope they fuck them so hard they have to close & the preacher has to retire from Burger King. I fucking hate religious fanatics.

You said it offended you, which counts as 'whining'

If people started getting offended by the internet, it wouldn't exist

 

[AchrisK]

You said it offended you, which counts as 'whining'

Doesn't count as whining. If I had a history of whining and complaining about everything I didn't agree with, then I could understand being berated by you for that short, concisely stated opinion of mine. It seems to me you jumped the gun a bit on your little self-affirming mini tirade.

You went out of your way to offend him, which counts as being a jackass.

 

[The Ozzman]

Going out of my way to offend someone implies that I was targeting him specifically and that I had malicious intent. It was a random comment I made in the forum that I didn't think he (or anyone) would take seriously.

Idiot.

Fair enough, though it was still pretty tasteless.

I'm over it.

Apples to Oranges sir. Someone being a legal citizen of Scotland is a vastly different than edit: claimed religious affiliation.

Dakryn really does have a problem with arguing incoherent nonsense, doesn't he.

Your smug overtones are amusing. Much of what I see here in the debates is poor choice of supporting "facts". Using a survey as proof is weak. Besides being completely manipulatible by the surveyor in question wording and surveyee selection, you're also trusting that you arent getting complete bullshit answers from participants.

If you pulled actual church membership rosters from all the major denominations thats still weak (just not as bad), because churches have a bad habit of not removing people who die, move, quit going, etc. Its not unusal for a churches membership role to be 150-200%+ of its actual regular attendence, and with the way people move around now you could have the same family on multiple rosters.

Pull actual church attendance averages for a year in america and I gauruntee it wont be anywhere near 75%.

omg you missed the fucking point of the fucking fallacy wtf

 

[Dak]

No I see exactly where he was going with it, and it's not the same thing. Its a bad analogy based off poor reading comprehension, maybe I should have been more clear on my reasoning before.

If you think calling bullshit on survey results in favor of checking actual participatory data is shifting a line of definition/a fallacy, you are the illogical participant in this.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Well, OK...a lot of people who SAY they are Catholics are really not believers but probably more on the fairweather side of things...but you can't exactly have a survey that says "so are you a REALLY REAL Catholic or are you just SAYING YOU ARE"

 

[skeptik]

So you can't be a Christian if you don't regularly attend church? What the fuck are you saying you fucking bane of the intellectual establishment? Do you even fucking realize that the No True Scotsman fallacy isn't actually about Scottish citizenship? Get the fuck out of this forum.

Jesus was against organized religion. the christianity that we know today is false and not what jesus intended.

 

[AchrisK]

^I do not think Jesus was against Christians gathering and supporting each other in their common faith. He did oppose the hypocritical religious leaders who had grown to love religion and the power it gave them, rather than to love God and others. It got him killed.

What the fuck participatory data are you even talking about? You've presented NO evidence to suggest that the survey is inaccurate. You are simply bullheadedly insisting that the survey cannot POSSIBLY be accurate, which is exactly what that fallacy is. Please grow a brain already, for christ's sake.
