That's the dirty little secret none of them seem to notice or care about.

What a pile of gish-gallop.

I'll just break it down to the basics.

1.If x, then y.

2.Therefore, if x, then not y.

3. Myriad of bullshit gish-gallop.

4. QED: This couple of Quran verse are true.

Lolwut?

Don't you guys know? God exists outside of time, which means he never changes, never moves a finger, never acts in a way that was not already part of the immutable process. But also, and this is key, he can be petitioned to intervene within time! Isn't that comforting!? But how does that work, one might ask?

Well, unfortunately, human logic, which both God and theists are immune too, only offers rebuttals to the idea. So only God knows. Smile

I really like how his 'Religious Views' are listed as 'logical', then posts a gigantic demonstration of just about every logical fallacy there is.


My only question is, can I bill him for a busted Irony Meter'?

Facepalm

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Theists call their beliefs 'logical'. In that same spirit, North Korea calls itself a "democratic republic".
