Is it true that you still beat your significant other?
Wikipedia Wrote:A loaded question is a question which contains a controversial or unjustified assumption (e.g., a presumption of guilt).
Aside from being a logical fallacy, such questions may be used as a rhetorical tool: the question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda
I don't think that is anything like the question I asked you. Simply from the fact that there is such a thing as a "loaded question" doesn't mean I asked you one… though that seems to be the magnificent logical principle that the self appointed champions of reason on the internet arrogate to themselves. Asking you if you believe that there is no God or not only assumes that you cannot both believe that there is no God and not believe that there is no God at the same time and in the same sense. Essentially all you have to accept is the law of non-contradiction. I do not, like the fallacious example, assume off the bat that you are irrational or beat your wife.
