Isn't satire (along with sarcasm) one of the most common forms of reductio ad absurdum?

No.

Your sarcastic comment about Swami Vic and the lottery numbers was a text book example of reductio ad absurdum. But you already knew that, right?

No, and no.

"There is a fairly common misconception that reductio ad absurdum simply denotes 'a silly argument' and is itself a formal fallacy. However, this is not correct; a properly constructed reductio constitutes a correct argument."

Christ almighty. :roll:

I believe that I don't know what to believe so: Agnostic

I guess I think there's a higher power but I'm teetering between Agnostic and Athiest. But I'm not at the point that I believe that there's NO higher power.

Although some may make this into a religion, it really shouldn't be one.

LMAO! I saw the poll and saw two votes for Scientology and the first thing that crossed my mind was, "Wow, Tom Cruise & John Travolta are both on ATOT!" :laugh:

 

[zinfamous]

left out Snake Handling.

 

[zinfamous]

Oh, and if Taoism is a religion, then so is Confusianism.

Personally, I think neither are....

also left out Satanism

 

[Nathelion]

What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster???!!??

No one asked for Confusianism. I'm adding Satanism.

Why do you put multiple kinds of christianity, but not Islam?

 

[Jadow]

Athiest, but I usually side with Catholics since thats how I was raised, and I was an Altar Boy for 5 years.

Because:

A) I don't know the kinds of Islam
B) More People answered LDS than the entire church of Islam
C) There is already plenty of categories

Shia and Sunni are as separate factions of Islam as is Protestant and Catholic in Christianity.

Even 4th graders these days know that.

Also...what do you mean no one asked for Confucianism? You asked for religions; and that's one that is as much of a religion as some people want to think Taoism is...which you included.

And hey, if you don't want to include Snake Handling, could you at least include Pentecostal?

Alright, point-by-point:

There are still so few votes for Islam, and I don't want to destroy the data and make people revote.

Also, people asked for Taoism because they wanted to vote for it. If someone wants to vote for Confucianism, I'll add it. I don't want a ton of blank catagories.

And, Pentecostal has been added, althought it might fall under Prostestantism...

Added.

 

[clamum]

Agnostic. I'm the type that doesn't have a lot of faith without evidence. I see none, nor do I really give a sh!t about the whole thing. I'll find out when I die.

Flying Spaghetti Monster is missing on your options. Please add.
