(October 9, 2013 at 9:16 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: Strawman fallacy unless you're assuming that God is not something we ought to care about and has no relevance to our lives at all. The thing is if God exists then yes that something relevant to us, if he doesn't exist then that will still be relevant. You don't compare the deeper questions of existence and life to a jar of sweets. Unless whether the number of sweets is in some way crucial then you would have to hope or have faith/trust in the right number. You can be wrong so can atheists be wrong. I've seen theists who phone the show attempt to make that point even if they don't do it very well.
Here's the thing... *sigh*... The sweets themselves aren't the important part of the analogy... which is why they're one of the things being swapped out at the end of it.
I mean, just... jesus fucking christ...
