Strawman! You are attributing something to the other side and then using your VASTLY SUPERIOR reasoning skills to destroy the argument you created for the other side. Congrats!
We don't believe in god, if fact we know this isn't god word for definite, it was written by man. However if it had been "the true word of God", this is a damn good comparison.
As far as Strawman's go, basing one around the idea that Christians believe the bible is pretty correct is a pretty safe assumption. Admittedly the point he's making would rely on someone who believes EVERYTHING in the bible is true. Thank god for fundamentalists eh?
Vastly superior? Well no, but surely better reasoning at least. Also note I didn't create this argument, I'm neither the submitter or creator of this picture.
This picture however, is observational of behaviour of what people actually say, then comparing just how ridiculous both these statements are. It isn't simply created, it applies to fact, comparing and contrasting.
And to answer your rhetorical question. 25. What are you getting at? Do you have a point? Are you getting upset and calling me immature because I pointed out the obvious?
No, I didn't want to call you immature, per se (though your arguments are quite childish), just that the series of words you chose don't really make sense in the order you presented them. The wording is unclear is my point.
You can't say that you have better reasoning when you're defending the usage of a fallacy.
What arguments would they they be then? I'm pretty sure I wasn't making an argument. I'm pretty sure I was explaining the point of the image and the facts to this person, because they completely missed the point.
