Fundamentalist Logic

Post by Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi »

This thread is to poke fun at the logic used by paranoid fundamentalists you hear about all the time, and creationists. I'll start, with Fawlell logic:

"Tinky Winky is gay"

"Gay pepople are evil"

"The Teetubbies are on PBS"

"Sesame Street is also on PBS"

"Therefore, Sesame Street is evil"

My personal favourite:

Fundie Moron: "God is perfect love."

Freethinker: "But God does terrible things in the Old Testament."

Fundie Moron: "You're taking it out of context."

Freethinker: "Context? In what context is it OK to butcher children, wipe out whole cities which are 'wicked' but pose no threat to you, commit global genocide, or instruct your followers to stone people to death for things such as homosexuality, working on Sunday, or swearing at their parents?"

Fundie Moron: "You don't understand. God is perfect love. He sent his Son so that we could all find Salvation in his Grace, even though we are all sinners."

Freethinker: "How the fuck does that address my point? Are you brain-damaged? Answer the fucking point!"

Fundie Moron: "I see you have no real answer, hence you resorted to foul language and insults. Such is the way of people who do not know God. I will pray for you."

(At this point, the freethinker's brain explodes, much as alien supercomputers tend to self-destruct when Kirk speaks meaningless gibberish to them in Star Trek).

In Darth Wong's format:

Fundie Moron: "I believe in God."

Freethinker: "Why? What makes you so certian there is a god? And why must it be your perticular version of that diety?"

Fundie Moron: "Because the Bible says so."

Freethinker: "Why should the Bible be trusted? What seperates it from the rest of the world's holy text? Why is it valid and the hundreds, if not thousands of others invalid?"

Fundie Moron: "Because the Bible is the word of God."
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

yeah, realistic thinking like that does a lot to confuse the issue. I sometimes wonder if the god I worship is manic depressive.
