I don't believe in Christianity primarily because of the brain

How is the article "dumb" specifically? Or are you just defaulting to another logical fallacy? Argumentum ad lapidem
(sweeping dismissal without cause)
Am I detecting a pattern of behavior?

Riddle me this sport, if you have to use fallacious reasoning to maintain your position.. what does it generally say about what you believe?
I'm glad you're studying logical fallacies, Drich; but you still have a little ways to go before your understanding of them is likely to be sufficient to try to use them for analyzing other people's statements. For example, the whole concept of fallacious reasoning doesn't apply to statements that aren't arguments.

If SerenelyBlue had argued that the article isn't correct because 'it's dumb', the fallacy would have been committed. Judging the article to be dumb is just presenting an opinion. You can't call 'fallacy!' on the reaction 'That's absurd!'. It has to be part of an argument. SerenelyBlue would have made the fallacy if the conversation went like this:

SerenelyBlue: That is a dumb article.
Drich: Why do you think it's dumb?
SerenelyBlue: Because it's obviously dumb!
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
