Does the head follow the heart in matters of truth?
#48
RE: Does the head follow the heart in matters of truth?
The above is not at all how formal logical fallacies work.  The problem with a formal logical fallacy is not the contents of the assertions - what one is willing to grant-  but the lack of a valid means of inference between them regardless of whats asserted or granted.  No matter what you fill the blanks with, an ad pop will still be an ad pop..and it's this fundamentally uninformative state of affairs that grants it the designation as a formal..rather than informal, logical fallacy. 

It's the latter in which the handling of the contents is relevant, not the former. An ad pop is not an informal fallacy, therefore your willingness to grant x is not relevant or redeeming.

Speaking of what you're willing to grant. You...allegedly, believe based upon evidence...correct? Would you be willing to accept the same of some contradictory or competing religions adherents? I ask, because regardless of how you answer..yes or no, this will immediately describe either the invalidity of the form, the baselessness of the assertion, or both.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
