In fact, rational wiki itself has pointed out the similarities between belief in god and imaginary figures.(June 3, 2022 at 3:02 pm)Klorophyll Wrote: I've been trying to explain this fallacy ever since I joined this forum, but to no avail. It's laughable that some members here don't even recognize it as a fallacy. Maybe some links to "serious" references should reassure them? Since they seem so distrustful of anything a theist might say
Even the anti-religious website RationalWiki has a "category mistake" entry
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Category_mistake
According to rationalwiki (not a christian or wahabi website, mind you), a category mistake happens when one confuses the properties of the whole with the properties of the parts, and therefore be guilty of committing two fallacies: the fallacy of composition AND the fallacy of division.
Umm, no. You are lying again. A category mistake is about "confusing the properties of the whole with the properties of a part." As an example "Because no individual human being is powerful enough to affect the climate of Earth, anthropogenic climate change is impossible."
That does not apply if I say "tooth fairy has an equal amount of evidence for its existence as Abrahamic God - which is none".
And it still doesn't make someone wanting you to prove your god a fallacy.
What it all is is a burden of proof fallacy on your part which you are trying to avoid by projection fallacy.
