| 10 Common Fallacies in religion that makes atheists disbelieve Religion. by Workch: 9:44am On Nov 03, 2021 |
WE have numerous fallacies that religious people often commit, it seems to me that one attribute of a religious person is their total lack of philosophy and logic knowledge, hence the inability spot logical fallacies in their points. Of the many fallacies that they commit, I will list 10. 1. Appealing to Ignorance e.g. i. No one knows how the universe actually started hence god must of done it. ii. We don’t have the ability to know everything, there are some things that are beyond our understanding. Logical position: Becasue we don’t know now doesn’t mean we won’t find out tomorrow. Ignorance of the topic is not evidence for god. 2. Fallacy of begging the question. E.g. I. Noah’s flood is right because the Bible said it. Logical position: You can’t use the Bible to say the claims of the Bible is right, you have to find evidence to justify those claims outside of the Bible. 3. Argumentum ad Arboretum. E.g. I. Everything you see around you is evidence for god, the trees, planets and all of nature. They cannot exist on their own. Logical position: The existence of nature is evidence that nature exist and not for god. 4. Appealing to authority E.g. Newton was a Christian and he said scientists are only discovering the works of the creator. Logical position: did newton provide evidence for this claim? If he didn’t then we will only take those things he provided evidence for and wait for evidence others to suffice. 5. Tu quoque (whatabaoutism) E.g. Science is also based on beliefs, hypothesis are made from beliefs. Logical position: Whether or not science is based on beliefs, it’s not evidence that a god exist. (Budatum committed this fallacy not too long ago.) 6. Special pleading fallacy E.g. According to the cause and effect law, everything must have a cause including the universe, hence the ultimate cause must be god. Logical position: Why must the cause be your god and who created your god? If your god cannot be created then why can’t the universe also exist without a creator? Why must you special plead your god from the law? 7. Argumentum ad populum (appealing to population) E.g. There are more religious people than atheists, it means that the concept of a god is true. If it’s not true then why do so much people conceive it? Logical position: Because so many hold a belief doesn’t make it true. We still require evidence to justify it even if the whole world believes it. 8. Ad hominem E.g. A fool says in his heart that there’s no god. Logical position: they are not fools because they don’t believe your claims. You need to provide evidence to convince them. 9. Fallacy of faulty equivalence E.g. If a car can have a creator then the universe must have a creator which is god. Logical position: We know the producers of cars, we know the factories, we know the engineers, we can meet them physically and we can even sue them if they make faulty cars. This cannot be applied to your god, it’s a faulty equivalence. We cannot sue your god for making cancer cells or earthquakes. Dtruthspeaker is fond of this fallacy. 10. Circular reasoning. E.g. : The Bible is true, so you should not doubt the Word of God. Logical position: This argument rests on your prior acceptance of the Bible as truth even without any evidence that it’s true. You started with what you wanted to end the argument with. I will add an important one. Fallacy of shifting the burden of proof. E.g. Can you prove that god doesn’t exist? Logical position: No I can’t, same way I cannot prove that unicorns and the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn’t exist. They burden of proof is on those that claim that they exist. We atheists hope that you can be more logical in your arguments so we can take you more seriously. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LAWS OF LOGIC AND FALLS AKA 'FALLACY' ARE MEANT TO DO AND ACHIEVE? ANSWER= THE PROTECTION AND SAFEGUARDING OF NATURE AND NATURAL TRUTHS. LOGIC IS THE POLICE/CUSTOMS & IMMIGRATION/NAFDAC/NDLEA/EFCC OF TRUTH They do not teach that in textbooks in school ONLY PROFESSIONALS LEARN IT. Workch: Fault- Presence of reasonable defect. Unfaulty Equivalence is NO FALLACY. Workch: NATURE'S, NATURALTRUTH! EVER SEEN A CREATION OR PRODUCT COMPLAIN OR SUE ITS MANUFACTURER? Did the Camry sue Mr Toyoda or the laptop, Samsung? No! Nada! Never! 'Impossibe'. NATURE SAYS! |

Workch: Thanks be to The Creator that you have made your own creation "who is after your own image and likeness". What you call A.I Robots and Mannequins. Do your robots care to know you? No!

Only God can save believers in the day of tribulations, because with the way you're crying up and down on religion today it's becoming obvious that you want to hurt your neighbours for having faith in God! |
| Re: 10 Common Fallacies in religion that makes atheists disbelieve Religion. by Dtruthspeaker: 11:12am On Nov 03, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse: Remember it is Written "evil does not sleep UNLESS IT CAUSE SOME PERSON TO FALL"! So he is only doing his job. |

Dtruthspeaker: When they failed to make their own personal research they often fall into the hands of swindlers then they want everyone to drop faith in God due to their misfortune! Psalms 10:4 |
| Re: 10 Common Fallacies in religion that makes atheists disbelieve Religion. by Dtruthspeaker: 11:22am On Nov 03, 2021 |
Workch: And yet you can not point the reasonable fall in one of them (as you attempted doing with the Camry example) WHICH DISAGREES WITH NATURE. Hence Proving Nature's Truth, "THERE IS NO VALID ARGUMENT AGAINST THE TRUTH! None at all and never shall there be! Workch, this is about Dtruthspeaker 5- 0 Workch! NO ROAD! |

Nonsense! Science is a religion that is terribly afraid of GOD. Anything GOD perplexes science! Do you know why? Because science can't exist without GOD! How? Science is dead without men created by GOD! GOD made man; man made science!!! |
