What are these mystical symbols and what do they foretell?

A true statement:

The pope is a space alligator => 3=5

Enough people mess this up as well...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Very nice! I wish people would get this stuff into their heads. Every single apologist argument contains at least one logical fallacy. That's a guarantee you can take to the bank. If there are any that exist which don't, they must be carefully sealed away in concrete bunkers. I actually wish I'd be proved wrong one day on that, because I'm so tired of pointing out the same errors.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Two thingses:

* It's either "You shall" or "Thou shalt" though, no?

* I don't understand the wording of #4. What is wrong  with accepting a premise as true? Isn't the problem only present if one of the premises trivially includes the conclusion and one hides that fact?
Yes, "Thou shall" bothered me too, but hey, I didn't write it. I still like them.

Yeah that was dumb on my part.

I mean to say:

Commandment 0: If you know: "If X is true, then Y is true," it DOES NOT FOLLOW that "If Y is true, then X is true."

They foretell a grim future.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
