Theist fallacy
#1
Theist fallacy
Theists always present their claims, rants, whatever as though theirs was the only god in the running. Even the infamous Pascal's Wager does this.

Lets say they make their case but their case is always such that gods plural are not excluded. So insist they prove there is only one. And then make them prove which one. And then, particularly to Pascal's Wager, which sect of which religion to that one god.

Of course there are diversions along the way such as proving that god wants a religion in the first place.

RE: Theist fallacy
Gods plural are always more likely.
The only way to get complex beings like a god is evolution through natural selection, so one god would suggest a pantheon of gods in the same way that one ant suggests an ant nest.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
