It does, because at the end of the day this argument isn't meant for atheists to ponder.
That's a non-sequitur.

Therefore I will show it's fallacious by stating x'. So you tell me, do you believe x=x or not? Because since the beginning, it seems like you disagree with your own beliefs.
That's a strawman.
Quote:No, I changed it so that *any* answer can be inserted as option c. That's more accurate than just 'neither'.
That's irrelevant.
Quote:The reason for why you think it's 'neither' is false. Simple.
That's a strawman.
Quote:I'll be wrong only if you can explain why believing gods don't exist makes it a false dichotomy.
That's a strawman.
Quote:Which is why I'm wondering why you're so militant about proving it wrong with an atheistic conclusion. It's not a logical thing to do, given you're an atheist.
That's a strawman.
Quote:Merely stating your belief, that gods don't exist, is not even a poke at theism.
That's a strawman.

That's irrelevant.

That's a strawman.
Quote:You can only correct me if you properly explain why gods not existing is a valid reason for rejecting the dilemma.
That's a strawman.
