Argumentum ad Ignorantium Fallacy
#41
RE: Argumentum ad Ignorantium Fallacy
Good luck in that endeavor, I guess?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah. So why is one of your fellow faithful abjectly lying for jebus on this site right this minute? Why does your faith make people do that?

Actually it's not said fallacy 

Saying your not going to believe in something unless there is a good reason is not an Argumentum ad Ignorantium Fallacy unless they are making a claim of it's truth value . Which we are not .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Oh yes, our faith makes people lie because people say so.

They accused Jesus of working with demons also.

Lying for christ is a personal choice.

It's even more stupid to lie for someone else than for yourself.

Atheism doesn't make any claims, it's a description of a state of mind, the state of not having a belief in any proposed divine beings. Theism is the opposite state, the state of believing that at least one divine being is real. The only claim an atheist is making as an atheist is that atheism describes their state of mind concerning the existence of divine beings. The only claim a theist is making as a theist is that theism describes their state of mind concerning the existence of divine beings. They are both singular opinions, and it's reasonable to accept someone's self-report on their internal brain states unless their actions show that they're lying.

Most atheists I'm familiar with don't say 'there's no evidence for God, therefore God doesn't exist'. They are far more likely to say 'I'm aware of no convincing evidence for God, therefore I don't believe God is real'. And that is a perfectly reasonable position to hold about any nontrivial proposition for which you're aware of no convincing evidence.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

But - if the Bible is to be believed - Jesus did work with demons.  It was kind of rough on those poor pigs, though.

Paul instructs us to lie for Jesus.
