We are letting south America take over our country (USA), therefore God exists? I dont know if that works but what ever. Make a caricature of that which you cannot refute. Appeals to ignorance are the tactics of the empty-minded. Now there was I thinking it not possible to prove the non-existence of things (e.g. gods, fairies, The Celestial Teapot, The Flying Spaghetti Monster) then along comes Willhelm and proves the non-existence of a sense of humour in religious zealots. Lighten up - please. religious? - no zealot? - yes sense of humor? You haven't been here very long, have you? lighten-up? the story of my life This is an interesting tactic I have noticed. Perhaps there is a name for it, but I don't know it. It goes like this. Person #1 writes (or clips) a piece which is obviously meant to drive home a point, albeit in a humorous, satirical way. Person #2 comes along and challenges the point of view presented. Person #1, instead of responding to the criticism with lucid arguments, says "lighten up!" Everybody else chides person #2 for having no sense of humor. I would suggest that when someone says (clips) that a creationist thinks that "evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it", they may have crossed the line from satire to serious insult. |
