[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded I already addressed that.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded Yes, I addressed that already--objectively wrong is not established.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded Yes--the appeal to "objectively wrong"

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded Yes. He needs to demonstrate his assertion.

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded I already addressed that: "objectively wrong" is not established.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@GouveaKame @Dootch @BiblicGrounded To make my position relevant is to appeal to shifting the burden of proof. The one making a claim is who holds the burden.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy That one is called a red herring. Also a logical fallacy.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy Fallacies are errors in reasoning. No-true Scotsmas simply establishes that error so people can avoid it.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy Who else is the best person to tell you about what they believe?

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy Some of those UUs call themselves Christians.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

A Christian is someone who makes Jesus Christ the central figure of their faith. Beyond that, different Christian traditions disagree about many doctrines. Defining Christianity according to one denomination's additional requirements simply assumes that denomination has the authority to define Christianity for everyone else.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy That is precisely the fallacy--you are creating a strawman version of a Christian that believes in something you don't--then using that as the criteria that disqualifies them from being a true Christian.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@TaglesTopGuy That is the claim each denomination asserts.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

The fallacy is claiming authority for a particular set of "minimum requirements" without demonstrating why those requirements should be accepted over the competing criteria proposed by other Christian denominations, even LDS. It assumes the conclusion by defining Christianity according to the speaker's preferred doctrine.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@Dootch @BiblicGrounded My position is irrelevant on the OPs claim and his fallacy.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@BiblicGrounded Yes, you are begging the question because "objectively wrong" is not established. You need to demonstrate it not merely assert it.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@DivinelyDesined That's called begging the question. A logical fallacy.

[John Smith @ident_smithjohn]

@AleMartnezR1 P1 begs the questions. Please demonstrate P1.
