Quote by: Prometheus Instead of viewing entire religions as the smallest unit of belief, look at the individual tenents. Think of religions like venn diograms. They overlap in many spots. The differences don't make them false. You are using a false dilema fallacy by implying that one fault, or shared fault makes all fase. |
None of this has anything to do with my claim. You can cherry pick all you like and still practice a double standard. It is not the claims you may discard that make you dishonest it is how you justify the claims you decide to keep vs. the claims you reject. And it doesn't matter if the claims you reject are part of a single religion or many religions.

I had a calculus class where on one of the assignments, 5 of the problems had incorrect answers in the back of the book. I realized these errors and moved on. According to your logic, I should disregard the entire class, because if I accept it then I am dishonest. Your logic also says that I should also disregard all other textbooks that share *any* of the same kowledge. The fallacy you use here, is that one set of beliefs can falsify andother set, merely by sharing a tenent. This is not logical.

What would have been dishonest was to hand in the answers that were in the back of the book whether you thought they were wrong or right. You are supposed to do your own dang work! And where in the world do you get that I am saying that one should disregard text books because they share the same knowledge. It is not the knowledge they share that opens up one or another book to being suspect, it is the knowledge they do not share that causes concern. I have made this point several times now. What is going on? Are you having trouble with comprehension? Why don't you just ask simple questions? Till you can at least state my claims and positions with some kind of understanding and accuracy there is no point in trying to make any arguments. You do not have to agree with it but at least you will then be able to make an honest argument since you will not be trying to argue from ignorance as if it were knowledge.
