Breeds of Apologists (and how to debate them)
#13
RE: Breeds of Apologists (and how to debate them)
The Poe

Demeanor: Often times indistinguishable from the Fundy Fucktard but not for lack of trying. Usually, they'll try to drop various "tells" such as referring to themselves as a True Christian with a trademark ™ or a quote from Landover Baptist.
Nature: Typically, the Poe is inspired to post when reading something by any other apologist and their head slams into their desk. They then log on and "agree" with the apologist. Often, they feel pressured to go further and further into the deep end of crazy, trying to stay ahead of the real thing. It can be like, to quote the Daily Show, running a ponzi scheme of stupid.
Favorite Fallacies: What is this "logic" thing you keep talking about? I go by faith.
Suggested Strategy: Don't feel bad if you get "Poe-ned" by them (taking them seriously and arguing against them). Chances are good that no matter how over-the-top and ridiculous they try to be, there's some Fundy Fucktard out there that offers the same kind of argument, only seriously.
"You don't need facts when you got Jesus." -Pastor Deacon Fred, Landover Baptist Church

™: True Christian is a Trademark of the Landover Baptist Church. I have no affiliation with this fine group of True Christians ™ because I can't afford their tithing requirements but would like to be. Maybe someday the Lord will bless me with enough riches that I am able to. 

And for the lovers of Poe, here's your winking smiley:  Wink
