No, it was leaning pretty hard into the No True Scotsman fallacy. And then, in an attempt to retreat from that fallacy, atheism was declared not only to be a religion, but the most harmful religion of them all.

Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color. Or abstinence is a sex position. Or not collecting stamps is a hobby.
FLMAO "Like bald is a haircolor" this is just too much. I love it.

The Atheists here have been putting forth those old, worn, bogus analogies for many years.
And I have noted how bogus it is when they do.

Um, that is a post from 2016. What you noted was nonsense on your end. I thought the poster you responded to was quite proper and unassuming and you just ripped him a new one. I do see the uncanny resemblance to that other post but it doesn't mean it is any less true. We steal things and use them as our own, you are definitely guilty of that too, Godie.

You know Godie, if you put as much effort into a proper post without an agenda as you do digging up old posts then we would have something to talk about. You and that other poster who has mysteriously been MIA, you both do this. Digging up, digging up, digging up Holes.

I really like you Godie, why you got to be so ornery?

And what would the difference be in stating the same wise-guy bogus analogy that has been proffered a jillion times before?

I am noting THEIR repetition.
But you seem to have missed that aspect of it.

Funny you didn't say to them..."if you put as much effort into a proper post without an agenda as you do using old wise-guy analogies then we would have something to talk about. Repeating, repeating, repeating old memes."

I'm not ornery...I call out ornery.
I like you too.

Ok, LOL on that note I'm off to dreamland.

Yet your perfect god just existed. Oh, wait, you have just argued that is unlikely.

No, it is the non sequitur and the cüm hoc ergo propter hocfallacy that puts religion above philosophy, science, mathematics, logic, etc.
