OFC I can't pinpoint it, and I'm pretty open about that. I'm looking for people who can.
It's the explanation for my current atheism, and I'm pretty sure what you've been arguing is slightly different from the point that was initially made.

Good springboard, too. If I pointed out the fact that Grandizers response was a fallacious appeal to negative consequences - a false choice between having justification or being an unintelligent person, would you cease to believe that you had justification?
lol, yeah, it's fallacy if taken literally. But I'm not sure that's appeal to negative consequences.
