The Chewbacca Defense
#7
RE: The Chewbacca Defense
To you nothing to do with the case. That doesn't mean it's not to do with the case.
If we were talking about Chewbacca, then talking of Chewbacca would obviously be on topic...
If you think something is not do with the case that does not make it so.

If you have a belief and it lacks evidence, for me to ask for it, that's not exactly me giving a Chewbacca Defense red-herring, lol........
You are cherry-picking, making it a special case. In any other matter evidence is required, but religion is apparently 'special'...why? Well that can't be defended can it?...It's just cherry-picked out.
You contradict yourself because you say you have reasoning. But you claim this reasoning is valid. If you have a valid reason to believe then that=evidence. Because that is what evidence is, something that gives credence to a belief.

You always dodge this point...but you're completely stuck because if you have a valid reason then that's evidence. So either you have evidence, or you by definition have no reason to believe at all.

And if you indeed believe without reason, if indeed you believe irrationally - on faith....then that's just that, irrational...without reason, and illogical...your belief is a delusion unless you have evidence.
