You mean no one can make you feel inferior without your consent?

Please use caution (and charitable care) when citing examples of purported ad hominems especially if the example refers to a named user here at CF. This isn't a thread to revisit personal attacks you believe are warranted/warranted. The question is...can there be a logical justification for...

A thread to discuss and debate the AvT canard du jour that its not an ad hominem fallacy (off topic, non sequitur) if its true. I contend that there is no defence for use of the ad hominem (attacking the person rather than the argument). Some say its NOT an ad hominem if the statement is...

Yes. I would say He does. ...and always has. To use a secular analogy, the parliament/congress has authority, law enforcement has authority, judges have authority, prison wardens have authority. And yet people still choose to test that authority and commit crime. I dont see the roaming of...

Careful AV If you invoke 'quantum spookiness' and string theory, folks will accuse you of playing word games.

You think no true atheist would ever fake their identity? ...I never did believe those artificially low "atheists in prison" demographics either. Well, yes but only if you believe what these closet atheists say. www.clergyproject.com

Except in this case, the 'Scotsmen' self identify. There actually ARE atheists who confess that they pretend to be priests.

There are possibly as many closet atheists masquerading as priests as there are pedophiles masquerading as priests. You know, if I saw a bank robber fleeing from the scene of the crime wearing a nun's habit as a disguise, my first thought is NOT about how the Church has a chronic problem with...

Welcome @Goody Goodrich You will love it here. :) Have you ever heard of a pastor named Judah Smith? He has a great sermons on the theme..."Worthy World". Grace

The bible IS evidence that a flood occurred. Oral history outside the bible also records plenty of corroboration for a global flood. The earth is currently covered by water over approximately 70% of its surface. Right now! The average depth of the ocean is around 3,000 to 4,000 metres. The...

We are way past.."actually happened". We are now at the "how did it happen" part. We are defining what Noah's Flood consisted of - global or local. Myst33 says the flood was localised. Im willing to agree that only 30% of the earth was flooded. Guess which third I mean.

But you said... "More technical detail can be provided if you wish it..." I wish it.

You think that's a gotcha but you're creating a trap for yourself. If you want to insist that whole earth can't have two points of reference, fine. The whole earth means every square centimetre of dry land. Only dry land was flooded. So.... "....the floodwaters came upon the earth" True...

If its any consolation, Im prepared to concede that maybe the flood was localised to occur solely over dry land and only flooded 1/3rd of the Earth ...the 1/3rd which we don't call oceans.

You don't want to go back and find the post you accused me of ignoring. Since I take such accusations seriously, I actually DID go and look to see if there was something addressed to me which I had neglected. Nope. Neither accidental oversight nor deliberate avoidance. Because the post wasn't...
