Exactly. Only religious nutjobs engage in the act of 'stoning someone to death'.
And no I don't mean literally and to be honest it's rather sad that even the scare quotes isn't enough for some intentionally obtuse people.

You're right about everything apart from the 'creep' and 'charity case' part. I notice you reach those conclusions via no logical process as per usual.
Quote:I don't view your opinions with more respect than my own just because they come from you, you have to make a logical argument for your opinions or they won't count for anything.
The fact you're willingly ignorant is not my problem. Just because I don't bother making a logical argument doesn't mean I can't.
This matter doesn't require logical argument either. It requires you knowing how to find the most reasonable interpretation of the meme which requires basic common sense and the ability to understand the relevant context. I can't teach you that.
Quote:We have a different opinion about a meme, I don't even know if it's a different opinion. All I'm saying is that I doubt the statement is true and I don't think scare quotes are being used in the way you think they are.
The statement isn't true if taken literally but the whole point of the meme makes no sense if it's taken literally. It's beyond obvious what the meme is getting at.
Quote:You don't think your opinions are opinions, you seem to think they're the law.
Not surprisingly you reached that conclusion via nothing I've actually said.
Quote: Do you think I took the meme too seriously?
You deliberately took it too literally in order to be obtuse and difficult. You played dumb in order to further reinforce your own presuppositions.
Quote: Ok I genuinely take that opinion on board. But I do still doubt the statement it's making is true.
Then you haven't taken it on board, nitwit. If the opinion I hold is that it obviously isn't being literal then to doubt the statement is true is equivocating because the statement itself isn't being literal if you truly take the opinion I hold on board.
If you're gonna do logic you have to actually make valid arguments and follow logical steps not just point out fallacies that aren't being made and claim people are saying things they aren't. You have to actually deal with an explicit argument being made or make an explicit argument yourself if you're gonna do logic. You can have a valid argument that isn't sound, yes, but you can't have a sound argument that isn't valid... and you're trying to make sound arguments without any validity involved and fight against unsound arguments that don''t have the validity OR invalidity displayed to make it an argument at all.
Conclusions without premises that lead to them aren't arguments so if all you are seeing is my conclusions and my stating that it is obvious then it's retarded to say I'm making fallacies or invalid arguments when to do that I'd have to actually have some premises and say they LEAD to those conclusions which I haven't said.
Quote:Yes I still will point out other memes which I think are innaccurate because for some reason even though I'm an atheist I dislike arrogant, inaccurate jokes about atheists being inherantly morally superior.
Something isn't an invalid argument when an argument isn't even being made and something isn't being inaccurate when the whole point isn't even aiming at accuracy but is instead being facetious, taking a stab at religion and hinting at the fact that religious ideas do harm but atheism doesn't.
When someone calls you a jackass they're not making an argument that you're a donkey and being fallcious about it. They're not arguing anything at all, they're just calling you a jackass and they're not saying you're a donkey.
The fact you're doing the equivalent of that and being a dense intentionally obtuse disingenuous fuckwit is not my problem.
