You know...that thing you're harping on about now....the fallacy you seemed to have googled -after- having made up this idiotic little story -around it-. Please, though, continue with your explanation of dissonance, and what people do when they get "called out on their shit".........
I don't think they would have helped "him", because they -didn't- help "him". They don't seem to be helping you either, in this instance, huh?
You continue to show your ignorance in the fact that when it comes down to it you don't have an intelligent response, just name calling and insistence that what you keep implying must be true because you keep implying it. If you re read your post, you said that his upbringing came first so it must have caused it. That is the post hoc fallacy. Yes I did google it. And it was easy to find because its apparently a common fallacy used. You keep seeming to think that I am saying that the principles were like a magic song that you sing and then you get a protective orb. The point that I keep making is that some of the principles would have helped his situation. If you got counseling on buying a new home and then your home got foreclosed because you didn't listen to or follow your counsel given, it would be your fault. You couldn't go back and blame the counselors if you didn't listen to them. Its beyond me that you can't comprehend such a simple point
-and again, those principles didn't seem to help him, and they are not, currently, helping you. I understand the point you're trying to make, I just think it's ignorant. There's no way for you to know that they would help, you're being as vague as possible ("some of the principles"....lol...which ones, specifically...I wasn't aware that religion was a treatment for addiction, enlighten us all?), and now endlessly parroting some bullshit about logical fallacies that you only half understand...and only when you think it applies to the other guy. Have we've reached the terminus of how much thought you put into this story, Nica?
Are you prepared, as per your last post, to "trust god" even if it meant shittifying your wife's life? Is the existence of some god actually a reason, in your estimation, to hold her hostage to your guilt, shame, and doubt? You would trust god, you would make it work, he has his reasons......the only party missing in this little circlejerk seems to be your wife.
-Good luck with that.
