Ever hear of a logical fallacy called circular reasoning?
orogenicman Wrote:There is no maybe about it. Muslims came onto MSM and made the statements. Repeatedly. No one else did.
Muslim Scholar Wrote:I'm not responsible for what some Muslims say.
Didn't say you were, did I?
orogenicman Wrote:So, you are saying that your god is an unforgiving, sadistic tyrant, except to certain "special" muslims. Gee, the old testament god was a lot like that as well. So your claim that he is unique doesn't exactly seem all that convincing to me.
Muslims Scholar Wrote:There is a difference between forgiving and careless!
Uniqueness applies only to his nature.
How does that apply to what we are talking about? And what is the nature of your god? Why is it unique?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
