Amos Moses:
North Korea nuclear blast IMMINENT? US deploys 'nuke sniffer’ as WW3 on brink
he is one of yours ..... or is this going to be "No True Scotsman" ..... erm .... No True A-Theist .............

Silas Jennings:
There is no such thing as no true atheist, nor a-theist.

Amos Moses:
yeah .... and no true scotsman .... RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT ...........

Silas Jennings:
No True Scotsman applies to ANYBODY who thinks they are the ones who get to say who is a true or false member of whatever group you want to name. You do it constantly, saying group X is not really Christian because they practice Y.

Amos Moses:
SO IT DOES APPLY TO A-THEISTS ..... thanx for your opinion ..... we agree on something .....
"You do it constantly, saying group X is not really Christian because they practice Y"
NOPE .... i say it because they DONT hold a certain CHRISTIAN BELIEF that is CENTRAL to being a CHRISTIAN .....
tofu and turkey ..... NOT THE SAME THING ..... now you can make tofu LOOK LIKE TURKEY ..... but guess what .... IT AINT TURKEY ...... and you can label it ALL DAY LONG AS TURKEY ..... but it AINT ...... and the same applies to PHONEY CHRISTIANS .........
also appies to your PHONEY argument that it applies to christianity ..... when it does not .......

Silas Jennings:
If an atheist was practicing snobbery by telling another atheist he wasn’t a true atheist? Yeah, technically I guess it could happen, but it never does. Probably because atheism isn’t a religion.

Amos Moses:
so when you go to McDonalds ..... and you ask for a Quarter Pounder with cheese ..... and you get your order ..... and you open it ..... and there is just a bun with ketchup and mustard and onions ...... and you go back and say "Where is my burger and my cheese" .... thats just YOU BEING A SNOB ............ do you even get how stupid you sound ....... because the BURGER IS CENTRAL to it being a Quarter Pounder .....and so is the cheese you asked for on it ....

Silas Jennings:
Some Christians baptize infants. (In fact, MOST Christians baptize infants). You tell the MAJORITY of Christians who do this that they're not real Christians. But those Christians, using the SAME Bible you do, baptize infants, and can give you their scriptural backing for doing so.
But you don't care, and you aren't willing to listen to their reasons. You just say "False Christians" and walk away. THAT is No True Scotsman.
And you are now trying to take this ridiculous snobbery and apply it to atheists ("No true atheist"...WHAT???) and hamburgers? Face it, you do NOT UNDERSTAND this fallacy despite several very clear examples and are grasping now to try to save face.
