In informal logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is usually incorrect argumentation in reasoning resulting in a misconception. By accident or design, fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener or interlocutor (e.g. appeal to emotion), or take advantage of social relationships between people (e.g. argument from authority). Fallacious arguments are often structured using rhetorical patterns that obscure the logical argument, making fallacies more difficult to diagnose. Also, the components of the fallacy may be spread out over separate arguments.
when you use the phrases [what comes to mind, seems to you, or appears to you] to then you follow it with something totally off base of what i was saying is very frustrating. Maybe this explanation of what a fallacy is will help you understand that i am not trying to engage in a 'angry discussion'. I was using the term argument as a technical term for a fallacy.
In summary.
You always ignore or act dismissive of valid points. If you continue this behavior you have no credibility to me at least. I think others would agree.

We can collectively out vote those iron fist into our control , as we have in the pass with an attitude for the whole.
You cannot vote out a being who owns you... it is only they who you are not the property of that you can remove.
The rich certainly don't need religion when they control all governments which supposedly control all people
The few that remain outside of their control even then can simply be eliminated in their eyes... as they are almost certainly not worth keeping around.
And atheism has squat didily to do with it
I did not mean to remove the rich, just have better degrees of people power for our own destinies. Government has protected every conceivable evil own to mankind the only change has been by the people. Yes we do need Governments too, like a fungus to a tree.
I hope to see atheist president in my lifetime; for sure they can’t do worst than killing for God for more than any other reason

People cannot exist without government. Anarchy is inherently self defeating

Depends... is that atheist president me?
Were I unleashed into a position ready to make war... then I could give a war unlike any this world has even tried to understand (well, some Russians might get it). And I don't say I am coming.
But you're right in a sense... for the war would not be without reason. It would gain in great leaps more resources. A religious war is about people... not about economics.

We've just had an atheist prime minister over here in aus, one who panders to the religious right like crazy in a vain attempt to make up for her atheism, but an atheist nonetheless.

Gillard is a crazy lady. She claims that euthanasia and gay marriage is a major threat to people's freedom of religion (Which is a ridiculous one). She is an atheist yet she argues with the religious christian leaders agaisnt the greens, who she signed an agreement with.
Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."

That is a mess. Not doing atheism any good there by stuffing it up.

That is why I most enjoy the middle ground approuch, In about 95% of the tim,e I am in agreement with boths sides and learn much. It's just that 5% we all may disagree upon, can be a bitch,

millions of fans? What's your native language Castle?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
