But this guy doesn't just seem to resemble one, he's starting to sound like he *is* that same guy. (Forgot his name, and I'm not masochistic enough to look it up  Big Grin  )

He might be hiding behind the text speak, because normally I recognize those who come back with previously used behavioral patterns.

Atheism is "not" the default for anyone who doesn’t believe in any gods.

Stop...theres no fucking way you read all of my posts.........as such, you cant claim to have no evidence that I have no evidence........lazy.

That falls apart immediately because I reject B's claim.

A claims "I do not believe in gods."

B, who almost certainly does not possess the ability to read A's mind, has no way of falsifying A's claim and is just being an asshole when claiming that A's statement is false.

That which I bolded above represents  tu quoque fallacy, which I am not using. (See below for my form):

If X true, then X is supported by L (a logical rational reason)
X is not supported by L
So X is not true
Ex.
If atheist Astreja's belief is logical, then that her belief will be  supported by  L
Astreja claims she has no L (rational excuse for her belief)
therefore her belief is not logical.

Tha dumbness.  That Star;s claim is supported by the semantic value of her statements.

L2word or go home.
