logical fallacy

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on November 12, 2005 06:18 AM
the grandfather post claimed that its parent stated that atheists are not civlized which is incorrect. the OP only implied that some (read: American) atheists are not civilized. The quote list then lists opinions on this subject.

The claim that most Americans are Christians is irrelevant to this as the topic is not "most" but "atheists". Note that Christians are not thereby excluded from the "non-civilized" category either. Hence, you could easily state that all Americans, Christians or not, are uncivilized as this is quite compatible with proposition that only American atheists are uncivilized. None of which is stated anywhere in this thread, but which can be logically compatible with that which is, in fact, stated. You miss the point because you are logically challenged.
