Yes, God has been proven. That's not the topic though.

So, where's the Noble prize?

Quote:The question is when you know ad-hominem is a fallacy, why do you constantly resort to it, day and day, out, and specifically when I make an argument.

I don't think you'd know an ad hominem if it bit you on the ass.


There is a big difference between just insulting someone, and claiming their argument is incorrect because of said insult.

In other words, saying that someone is ugly, is not an ad hominem. Saying someone is ugly, and therefore their argument is wrong, is an ad hominem. Please point out examples of the latter.

But the people who feel a need to insult me every time I make an argument, I think it shows an act of weakness on their part.

Here's the problem you are missing.

We've all read your arguments, and we've all pointed out your unsupported claims, presuppositions, fallacies and mistakes in thinking on your part. But time after time, not only do you refuse to acknowledge your muddled thinking, but you continue to just post the same flawed arguments over and over.

So, there comes a point with you, that demonstrating your flawed thinking is just a waste of time. So, insult is just our way of blowing off a bit of our frustration with you.

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.
