AF Hall of Fallacies

[Mister Agenda]

I think it helps if you identify what fallacy you think has been committed by the poster. Although I do not understand the entire context of that quote, I do not see a very obvious fallacy there.

My bad, I thought the game was to ID the fallacy, but it was probably not clear out of context.

It's an ad hom, essentially he's arguing that atheist critiques of his posts are invalid because they're coming from atheists and we're only saying what we're programmed to say. He doesn't address the substance of the criticisms at all and doesn't see how easily his complaint is reversed.

Big fallacy is when atheists argue no god because Christians sin and religious fanatics war and sin so there is no god. Ridiculous. We all realize we are all sinners. Just because fanatics set off bombs how is that gods fault?

Thank for providing a perfect example of a strawman fallacy.

Fallacy: Not God, therefore physical monism.

I don't remember anyone ever arguing that there was no god because Christians do those things, I always saw those mentioned in the context of Christianity doesn't make you a better person than non-Christians.

Are you saying that these "fanatics" are mistaken in the God they believed wanted them to do this? They each believe their God told them to do it with the same certainty that you have in what your God tells you. If you think they've mistaken because you have the right God, then I suggest you get to providing some evidence for your claim. As of now, none of you have any evidence, and it's looking like you're all delusional.

A God being the blame has not yet been entered as a possibility.

Follower Number 1: Practices Religion "A" , and claims they have an exclusive personal relationship with God "X" and believes they've been told by Him to blow up buildings.

Follower Number 2: Also practices Religion "A", and also believes in God "X" , but they believe that He has not told Follower Number 1 to blow up buildings.

Follower Number 3: Practices religion "B" believes in God "Y" and thinks that Follower Number 1 is wrong about both "A" and "X" but thinks Follower Number 2 is only wrong about "X".

Each of these claims are incompatible when reading the texts that support them. In the end, somebody blew up a building, and none of these people have evidence that support it as being anything but a delusional person blowing up a building.

Did they do this in your head because I don't remember seeing this argument.
The closest I have seen is people saying that those things were done in the name of god.

We all realize we are all sinners. Just because fanatics set off bombs how is that gods fault?

It isn't gods fault because he probably dosent exist.

An example of the "And your lynching negroes" fallacy. Basically you claim that what your side has done is basically justified because the other side is just as bad.
