Again your arguement is based on a strawman fallacy.
My analogy, that means I get to set the terms that get compared. Not you.
What you did is take an element not being discussed, and created an argument, based on something you think you can defeat. Which again is the defination of a strawman.
Now that said your last post is an example of a red herring.

Again, Not! I was attempting to understand your initial analogy. You attempted to compare two different groups. Analogies require similarities which you have failed to describe, obviously, ergo my confusion.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
