MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

And there we go again: someone dares to disagree with you, and so you seek to passive aggressively tarnish them and, yes, poison the well for future readers by proclaiming their disagreement is intellectually dishonest, apropos of nothing.

Although to some degree you're right; Stimbo mislabelled the original fallacy you used. "X is laughed at by Y community, therefore is wrong," is actually an unsupported argument from authority, made without a shred of evidence... possibly well poisoning in the sense that you're seeking to taint any further argument made with reference to the source in question by fiat, before it's even presented, but I don't care enough to quibble over details, especially since that seems to be your main method of argument.

But the parts I pointed out were still pure well-poison. If you want to desperately cling to the word "more" as some kind of out, then whatever, I don't need it there. My point stands well without it; the sentence was formulated that way as a sarcastic continuation of what Stimbo was saying, but it works as a stand alone position. If trading one fallacy for another, while not affecting my point at all, would make you happy, then feel free to say I was wrong, and I'll even rephrase my initial post right here:

"Looks like he needed a whole lot of well poison to wash down that argument from authority! "

Yay for you! You won a single insignificant point, while utterly failing to address your actual fallacies, plus the equivocations you chose to defend them with!

Edit: Oh, not to mention the abrupt right turn you made there, that non-sequitur "oh yeah, well, you were wrong to support Stimbo!" dodge you made when you couldn't handle the original conversation we were having, let's not forget that!

Whatever.

Your attitude and dishonesty encourages me to not trust a single word you say. If you ever want to earn the trust of any theists on this forum you are going to have to buck up, look in the mirror, look at the attitude of this forum against theists and carefully consider your position.

You see me with attitude right now? That attitude is directly related to how I have been treated, and you wonder why theists get banned so much on this forum?

When moderators such as yourself involve themselves into assisting the ridicule of theists, what do you think that says to theists about the leadership on this forum?

Do you want theists on this forum? Do you think a theist can trust you? Seriously?

If you don't want any theists here, just keep doing what you are doing.

Try going to a religious forum any one and say your an atheist and see how long it takes for them to ban you.

You see you don't get banned for being a theist here.

Indeed in the past some of the moderators on this forum have been theists Tackatack a Christian and Rayaan a Muslim, so we are not the closed shop you seem to believe.

You can however get banned for being an arsehole.

So if you really want to spend some time here remember this motto.

"Don't be a dick"
