Exploring the Principle of Sufficient Reason and its implications for metaphysics, epistemology, ontology, phenomenology, and logic #ProLife#Married#Catholic
Dear atheists.
Please stop responding to theist arguments with phrases like, "begging the question", "special pleading", and, "strawman", without justifying your use of those terms.
Unless you can prove why the theist argument is one of those fallacies, then your reply is actually begging the question, as you are assuming the conclusion of your own reply.
So I'm going to level up your logic skills and explain how each fallacy works and how you need to demonstrate the theist claim to be a fallacy.
BEGGING THE QUESTION (assuming the conclusion)
Agent A asserts Q ^ (Q → Q) .: Q
SPECIAL PLEADING (unjustified exception)
Agent A asserts P → Q
Agent B accepts P but denies Q for the particular case, without relevant justification
STRAWMAN (distorting opponents position)
Agent A asserts P
Agent B misrepresents P as Q
Agent B rebuts Q instead of P
Please take note of these logical forms when replying with random and unproven phrases to theist arguments.
With love ♥️♥️♥️

@BfyreSimp If a theist makes a claim then an atheist demands proof.
It is only fair that if an atheist makes a claim then they should also provide proof of their claim.
@MDH_UAR If I make an argument, and you respond with the words, "begging the question", then you need to prove why it is begging the question.
Otherwise, your claim is actually begging the question.
@MartinusLogicus Dear theists,
If you claim that atheists make a claim of any specific god not existing, you are either ignorant or dishonest.
Which is it?
@ForgedAql@deusimpera The age of Mary and Rebecca at marriage is incongruent with the argument, as the argument is about Mohammad and nobody but Mohammad.
Further to that, there is no record of the age of Mary or Rebecca when she got married.
But I cannot do x (the act therein) unless a woman permits me to do x.
Your objection asserts that either (a) women lack the agency to consent to x, or (b) that r*pe is not actually r*pe as men do not require permission from a woman to engage in x, i.e. whether x takes place is entirely decided by the man.
On the contrary, x is dependent on consent from the woman. A man cannot legally partake in x without her consent.
No mate, I did not stipulate between relational and irrational beliefs, simply that beliefs are not epistemic, as they are doxastic.
A doxastic claim is:
BaP (agent a believes P)
An epistemic claim is:
KaP (agent a knows P)
The difference is believing and knowing. Belief is doxastic, knowledge is epistemic. A doxastic state can be a subfield of epistemology, but they are generally two different fields.
Dear atheists,
If you claim that God does not exist, then you are making the following claim:
G(x) = “x is God”
P := ¬∃x G(x)
Your claim is therefore a negative existential claim. Your proposition is possibly true and possibly false:
◊P ∧ ◊¬P
which makes it a contingent claim about reality:
◊¬(∃x G(x)) ∧ ◊(∃x G(x))
It's a negative existential proposition in logical form, but asserting that proposition is a positive assertion about reality.
Thus the onus is on you to prove your claim.
@DefAMustRead I am not usually a hateful man, well i hate people who put jam on their scones before cream, but I will confess that I hate slugs.
I found if you pour salt over them they go away and don't come back.
