Hey guys! Let me bring you up to speed if you haven't been paying attention!
There's this guy on AF here called Paulpablo and he's asking me for evidence that a meme saying that "no one was 'stoned to death' by an atheist" is referring to the Biblical act of stoning someone to death...
He said "I doubt that statement is true" because he wants to be literal minded and strip it of biblical connotations just to be obtuse.
Yeah.... sure... there's a meme that says "No one was ever 'stoned to death' by an atheist" which is clear enough without the scare quotes but even WITH them apparently this just means no atheists ever threw stones at someone until they were dead and has nothing to do with the biblical act of stoning people to death at all.
I know, sad right? But hey... here's an idea! Let's just all play dumb here too so Paul can feel at home!
Sorry Paul but can you tell me what "yeh" means? I wouldn't want to presume you meant "yeah" or "yes" because I can be intentionally dense like you too! Just wanting you to feel welcome! I wouldn't wanna project my own opinions onto you so I just have to ask!

Oh great so you don't understand logical fallacies either.
Yeh, I think everyone is up to speed. It's very simple. Just provide evidence that the phrase stoned to death within that meme definitely means stoned to death in relation to biblical influence and not just a general term of stoned to death.
You saying it's obvious why, or laughing or mocking don't count as a reasonable argument.
It seems like you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
The evidence could be there and I might have missed it. Scare quotes surrounding a word don't mean this word is to be taken only in the sense of biblical influence, they can be used to show contempt for a word or phrase which is what my reasoning involved and I presented to you.
You haven't yet presented any reasoning for your argument and I don't think you're ever going to because I don't think you can.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
