63. Your logical fallacy is"

Fri Oct 27, 2023, 12:57 AM

Oct 2023

Argumentum ad antiquitatem--an appeal to tradition. Something being old doesn't make it true. If you want to trot that out, then you need to become a Hindu. Or a Buddhist. Both have been around *much* longer than the demigod torture cult. Or you need to support the idea that the sun goes around the earth. That idea has been been around a long time, too.

You want us to believe in that demigod torture cult? Your feelings and "visions" mean jack. Cough up evidence that not only conforms with reality but also can be replicated by anyone--including by atheists.

And good luck with that. So far, none of the demigod torture cult "thinkers" or followers have managed that one.
