BRB. Touching grass

Don’t call me sir. I work for a living.

Yeah but are you over six foot?

The irony in your comment is staggering.

Cute. I used to issue sardonic replies when I was incapable of admitting I was wrong, too. One day your ego will be smaller than your personal integrity, and then you won’t have to be insufferable on the internet to feel good about yourself.

Yes. I can read what you wrote. But I can't follow broken logic. That's what "non sequitur" means...

Textbook non sequitur - "Christians will believe anything you tell them, therefore the American education system sucks"

What in the actual fuck are you on about?

I don't know what that has to do with your miserable grasp on one of the three forms of reasoning. Like, I get it... you don't like America. Cool. But you made a generalization about all American's based on a claim about some Christians. Its a logical cluster fuck m8.

No, it doesn't. Something isn't true just because you say it is.

Edit: If anyone needs any indication of the quality of people following this thread, this comment is one of the most downvoted. Imagine downvoting the innocuous claim that “saying something doesn’t make it true”.

You may want to spend a little time reviewing the concept of deductive reasoning, m8.

An example would be something like "All cats have eyes. Siamese are cats. Therefore Siamese have eyes." That is the general format for deductive reasoning.

"Christians believe anything you tell them. A lot of Americans are Christians. Therefore the American education system is flawed." is a non sequitur.

"logical deduction"?

You mean assumption? There are some 2.2 billion Christians worldwide, m8. Just because you've not heard one say "Jesus was a scientist", or some equally idiotic drivel, doesn't mean they haven't.

You think some Christians outside of the US don't think similarly?

Edit: Apparently a fair amount of people in this thread think only Americans, and especially American Christians say stupid things. It’s almost as if there is some preconceived notion about Americans being expressed here despite its relevance to the point…

I wonder what instrument they used to measure the windspeed of Hurricane Camille at 174mph in 1969?

(local legend says the anemometer at the Biloxi weather station measured 205mph until it succumbed to the windspeed and broke)
