Jason:
Redone: What do you mean "it proves nothing"? God, that is Jesus Christ, is
a
personal God and He acts on a personal level, as well as public. It might
not prove it to *you* specifically because it's not your
experience, but it does prove that God does work in
individual lives.

POOBAH
Fallacy of special pleading. Jason would not accept such arguments for
Allah, Vishnu, et. al.

Jason:

Is murder subjective? Is rape subjective? Those are personal experiences to.
Using the logic you've used, i could say that love doesn't exist. I could
say that depression doesn't exist. I could say that fear doesn't exist.
Those are personal experiences to.

POOBAH
Fallacy of false analogy. Murder/rape/love/depression, or the effects
thereof, can all be objectively witnessed. Jason's personal god, on the
other hand cannot.

	Jason:

Do you believe in moral absolutes? If you don't and think that it's
relative, then you deny an absolute's defense. If you say that moral
absolutes do not exist, it's a contradiction because that in itself is an
absolute. Morality is personal experience to. Does that mean it's limited
to one person?

POOBAH
Fallacy of affirmation of the consequence. While it is true that if nothing
is absolute then morals are not absolute, it does not follow that if morals
are not absolute then nothing is.

Does anyone think that Jason will put forward even a single argument that
doesn't contain one or more logical fallacies? I'll wager that he is
incapable of doing so.
