Can Christians be humanists and moralists?

[jesus_wept]

Im not convinced answering a question is an ad hom. An ad hom would've been if I just said don't believe him because he's stupid, instead I explained why you're stupid and answered your question.

And calling me an a hole isn't an ad hominem either, it's an insult (which I don't mind and shall turn the other cheek). But, if you're going to use logical fallacies, at least get them right, otherwise people might think you're stupid.

Description of Ad Hominem

Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:

Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).

I'm not sure why you posted this but, now you know what an ad hominem is, I hope you won't make the same mistake again.
