What’s the purpose of this video, if I may ask?
Natalie15 · F
@therighttothink50 To make a point.
I would criticize the video on the basis that it is just as biased as the Christian videos it critiqued. But I wouldn't assert that it didn't make any genuine points. Would you assert that? Are you upset at the fact that this "atheist" video dared to match the level of bias as many Christian videos? Or are you charitable about it? Or what is your opinion on the video and how biased it is?
Although the video aims to advance the argument of atheism, if it fails hard, (and it DOES fail) I think it fails in the best way. It fails because it shows everyone (unintentionally) that you should not be biased toward your particular in-group to an extent where your credibility becomes strained.
I think both Christians and atheists can learn something from such a demonstration. What do you think?

@Natalie15 taking two random people from social media and a few second clips from each of them is no way to prove any point. Selective social media outrage and or selective sarcasm are not conducive to anything.
Attempting to categorize any group with selective outrage or selective social media blips is ridiculous.
Over 50 percent of the internet is now AI generated slop. Trusting anything in this word of confusion, delusion and deception is unwise.

@therighttothink50 Some things are trustworthy. But maybe not truth-worthy. I try my best not to rage. Because a good Christian should be "slow to wrath" ... not fixated upon wrath.

Modern Christians just like to hear themselves talk.

One needs to remain mindful that letting one be called an influencer isn't humble enough for a real Christian.

Ah come on. That's a logical fallacy to label a whole group because some members are completely and totally fucking nuts.

It seems like you are struggling to differentiate a logical fallacy from a falsehood. A logical fallacy isn't necessarily false. It may very well be true. But the fallacy part involves how you came to the conclusion that it was true. Any given conclusion might be technically fallacious but nonetheless true. Can your brain handle that? I want to say it can, but I'll await your answer just in case.

@Natalie15
You lost me at
Can your brain handle that,?
That tells me you're not looking for a constructive respectful conversation.
So since this seems to matter so much to you I'm going to let you be wrong and end the interaction.

@CurrentName So, yeah. I think the better argument that you should make is "this is false." And you should abandon the fallacy criticism route. But what I would REALLY want Christians to do is look at a kind of criticism like this and not get offended. But rather say, "perhaps this criticism is true and some regard. I will reflect on it, and if it is true, I will use this wisdom to become a better Christian."
