My First Argument and Logical Fallacy

[JesusHMuhammad]

I recently joined this forum and was slightly alarmed and also delighted by the way I was treated in my first post. I was delighted in the sense that the members seem fairly intelligent and civilized by online standards.

I was alarmed by the fact that I was assaulted with several accusations that were simply not true. I was said to have taken a position I did not take and falsely accused of committing several logical fallacies including false dichotomy, non-sequitur and association fallacy.

I applaud my vanquished opponent for at least trying. I believe as Atheists, non-theists, agnostics, etc. and good citizens, we have an obligation to spot logical fallacies wherever they occur. Especially, when honing our skills in debate.

I have found this website especially useful in explaining the basic types of logical fallacy for those who are interested.
